A Robotics Option for Hysterectomy
A number of Desert West physicians are now performing hysterectomies using the da Vinci Surgical System. Women who are candidates for this precise minimally invasive procedure experience a quicker recovery, significantly less pain and better outcomes than traditional open surgery. The da Vinci hysterectomy surpasses the limits of conventional laparoscopic surgery as well. Better yet, the procedure reduces the need to convert to an open procedure, is covered by most insurance and can be scheduled at both Banner Estrella and Thunderbird Medical Centers. To learn more, talk with your doctor or go to da Vinci Surgical System.

WellBeing Weight Loss
Because medical issues can affect weight and, conversely, weight can affect medical issues, Desert West offers a physician-monitored weight loss plan for those seeking to rid themselves of those last nagging 20 pounds or tackle a 100 pound or higher overage.

WellBeing Weight Loss is a no-nonsense approach that combines a nutritional program, medication and medical supervision to change your metabolism, initiate fat burning and finally achieve your desired weight loss.
