Our Approach

Advanced Surgery,
Personal Attention

When surgery is needed, precision and experience matter. Dr. Drake specializes in minimally invasive gynecologic procedures -- laparoscopic and hysteroscopic techniques that resolve complex conditions while minimizing trauma, recovery time, and risk.

Her residency training at George Washington University included intensive focus on complex gynecologic surgery and surgical emergencies. She brings that expertise to every procedure, paired with the same concierge-level care and communication that defines her practice.

Before any surgical recommendation, Dr. Drake explores all non-surgical options and ensures you have a complete understanding of the procedure, alternatives, and expected recovery. Informed, empowered patients make better outcomes possible.

Before Any Procedure

A thorough consultation. Every time.

Dr. Drake will not recommend surgery unless it is the right choice for you. Every consultation includes a full review of non-surgical alternatives, a clear explanation of the procedure and recovery, and time for every question you have.

The concierge experience was everything Dr. Drake provided and more. It's literally the coolest and best medical experience I'll ever have.
