Services Offered

Dr. Crawford provides comprehensive obstetric and gynecologic care for women across all life stages, with a special focus on pelvic floor disorders and minimally invasive surgery. She offers routine well-woman exams including Pap smears, breast exams, and preventive health counseling. For women with pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence, she provides both non-surgical options (pessary fitting, pelvic floor physical therapy, behavioral modifications) and advanced surgical reconstructive procedures. Menstrual disorders such as heavy bleeding, fibroids, or endometriosis are managed with medical therapy, endometrial ablation, or laparoscopic surgery as appropriate. She also cares for menopausal patients with symptom management and osteoporosis prevention. Dr. Crawford is skilled in minimally invasive techniques including hysteroscopy and laparoscopy, which offer faster recovery and less pain compared to open surgery.
