Craig Aren Myers, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.
What
Dr. Myers enjoys most about practicing obstetrics and gynecology is
the relationships he develops with his patients. He feels that medical
care is a partnership and that patients should be involved in all aspects.
His interests include general obstetrical care, pelvic pain, sexual
dysfunction, laparoscopic surgery and menopausal care. Good health
begins with preventive medical care and healthy living. Laughing a
lot also helps. It is important for the patient to feel comfortable
and confident with her physician, and Dr. Myers works hard at fostering
that relationship.
