Who We Are
About The Center for Innovative GYN Care®
The Center for Innovative GYN Care® (CIGC®) was founded in 2001 by laparoscopic surgical specialists Paul MacKoul, MD, and Natalya Danilyants, MD. Their practice is driven by a set of overarching beliefs:
- Patients deserve to be truly heard and for their symptoms to be taken seriously.
- Pain is not normal and should not have to be endured.
- The “watch and wait” approach taken by many OBGYNs is not always appropriate and risks the condition getting worse, leading to additional suffering and potential complications.
- All patients, regardless of race or sexual and gender identity, deserve the same access to high-quality health care.
- Surgical scars, pain and recovery time should be as minimal as possible.
