As a valued patient of Dourron OB/Gyn Associates, P.C., we want to update you on a new permanent birth control you may have heard about on the radio or seen in magazines recently. For those of you who have completed your families and have many years before you become menopausal, you no longer have to continue to take the birth control pill or wait for your husband to have a vasectomy. It is called the Essure procedure and your physicians; Dr. Robert P. Dourron and Dr. Rodney M. Dourron, are specialists in this area.
This alternative to tubal ligation, using a non-incisional surgical option for women seeking permanent birth control is safer, easier and available now! The company who manufactures the Essure micro-inserts has chosen Dourron OB/Gyn Associates, P.C. as a practice, which has earned the distinction as an Essure Accredited Practice or EAP. Essure Accredited Practices have agreed to follow nationally established standards for quality patient care and education and have been evaluated by an independent outside body.
EAP physicians and their staffs are committed to providing excellence in patient care. Dourron OB/Gyn Associates, P.C. is on the cutting edge of patient care and is committed to offering our patients the very best in new technologically advanced procedures.
The Essure procedure is a birth control system completely performed in-office using local anesthesia. There is no incision, and you should be in and out of the office in less than one hour. Most patients can resume normal activities within 1 day, and many return to work the following day. Most insurance companies pay for the Essure procedure as they would a tubal ligation.
If you are considering permanent birth control and would like to discuss your options with a physician, call our office for an appointment at 404-294-0472.
