Dear Patients,

It is with mixed emotions that I inform you of my intention to retire at the end of September. It has been my privilege to provide medical care to you over these many years, and I will miss you. I recently sold my home in Ojai, and my wife and I have relocated to Palm Desert.

I am glad that Dr. Gustafson and Dr. Reisman will continue to practice at our location along with Wendy Margolis, Wendy Steiger, Anne Chezar-Garnett, and our wonderful office staff. I am confident that they will take excellent care of you.

I thank you again for being a patient of mine and wish you the best.

Sincerely,

Steven Coyle, MD, FACOG

1 in 5 women suffer from heavy menstrual bleeding. More than just a hassle, they take physical, emotional, and social toll as well.

NovaSure^®, a one-time, five-minute procedure lightens or ends your heavy period. With no pills or hormonal side effects, menstrual bleeding is dramatically reduced or stopped.

NovaSure Works in Four Simple Steps:

Your doctor slightly opens your cervix (the opening to the uterus), inserts a slender wand, and extends a triangular mesh device into the uterus

The mesh gently expands, fitting to the size and shape of your uterus

Precisely measured radio frequency energy is delivered through the mesh for about 90 seconds, gently removing the lining of the uterus

The mesh device is pulled back into the wand and both are removed from the uterus

When medication and non-invasive procedures are unable to relieve symptoms, surgery remains the accepted and most effective treatment for a range of gynecologic conditions. These include, but are not limited to, cervical and uterine cancer, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, uterine prolapse and menorrhagia or excessive bleeding.

With da Vinci ^®, small incisions are used to introduce miniaturized wristed instruments and a high-definition 3D camera. Seated comfortably at the da Vinci ^® console, your surgeon views a magnified, high-resolution 3D image of the surgical site.

• Significantly less pain
• Fewer complications
• Less scarring
• A faster return to normal daily activities
