Emory Women's Center has opened a new clinic offering gynecologic specialty services to patients at Emory Johns Creek Hospital.

"Our department is extremely excited to be able to provide sub-specialty gynecologic care to the Johns Creek community," says Penny Z. Castellano, MD, FACOG, associate director and chief medical officer for Emory Clinic and Emory Specialty Associates, vice chair for Clinical Affairs, Emory University School of Medicine, professor and interim chair, Department of Gynecology & Obstetrics, Emory University School of Medicine.

Sana Ansari, MD, and Lesley B. Conrad, MD, are treating patients at the new practice located at 6335 Hospital Parkway, Suite 210 in Johns Creek.

Ansari is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist who is fellowship trained in uro-gynecology and female pelvic reconstructive surgery. Her areas of focus include: vaginal or pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, fistula, recurrent UTIs, painful bladder or interstitial cystitis, fecal incontinence, vaginal mesh issues, and post-menopausal vaginal changes.

"We need to talk openly about women's health in all its forms so that we know no one is alone, and we can always relate to one another," says Ansari.

Conrad is a gynecologic cancer oncologist with Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University who specializes in the treatment of cervical, uterine, ovarian, peritoneal, vaginal and vulvar cancers and gestational trophoblastic disease. Conrad is skilled as a surgeon in minimally invasive procedures, including robotics and laparoscopy, and has knowledge in the latest chemotherapies, targeted therapies and clinical trials.

"By having our fellowship-trained physicians available in Johns Creek, we are able to provide an added level of expertise and academic presence, for more complicated patient needs," says Castellano.
