Newswise — Eric C. Liberman, DO, an expert in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, has joined Atlantic Medical Group and Atlantic Health System. Board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Liberman is uniquely fellowship-trained in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, bringing a new level of technical skill to Atlantic Health System’s ob/gyn services.
“I chose to pursue a fellowship in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery because I wanted to expertly understand modern gynecologic surgery and hone the technical skills required for precision robotic surgery,” Dr. Liberman said. “Unfortunately, many women with fibroids and other conditions are putting off needed surgery, such as a hysterectomy (uterus removal) or myomectomy (fibroid removal) and therefore living with a decreased quality of life because they are afraid of the downtime. In reality, they may be candidates for much less invasive surgery that could be life-changing and sent home the same day.”
Women should consider speaking with a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon like Dr. Liberman if they have concerns about:
- Abnormal uterine bleeding
- Abnormal PAP results
- Adenomyosis
- Endometriosis
- Fibroids
- Ovarian cysts
- Pain with intercourse
- Pelvic pain
- Polyps
- Post-menopausal bleeding
“With Dr. Liberman’s addition, we are now able to offer many women who need gynecologic surgery the option for a less invasive procedure when appropriate,” said Dr. Diana N. Contreras, Chair, OB/GYN & Women’s Health, Morristown Medical Center and Medical Director, OB/GYN & Women’s Health, Atlantic Health System. “Advances in technology are rapidly changing the way many gynecologic conditions and procedures are treated, and the traditional long hospital stays and complicated, invasive procedures requiring weeks of bedrest are being replaced with less complicated, minimally invasive procedures that simply get women back to their lives sooner.”
Dr. Liberman attended medical school at New York College of Osteopathic Medicine after receiving his bachelor of science in psychology at the University of Wisconsin. He completed a fellowship in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery at Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, NY. Following completion of his fellowship, Dr. Liberman remained at Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine where he served as an attending physician and assistant professor in the division of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery.
