I am Dr. Nancy Ryan Petersen. I have been practicing obstetrics and gynecology for the
last 29 years and currently just do gynecology. I was trained at Albany Medical College in
Albany, New York where I did my residency. I came to this area to do public health service
commitment of 2 years, so I worked at Lynn Community Health and at North Shore Community
Health in Peabody. I am very interested in the minimally invasive
surgery aspect of my practice. I treat ovarian cysts, endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic pain,
and dysfunctional bleeding. That's been a critical change in GYN because
in the past everything was an open procedure. Now, the procedures, you can go home the same
day, you can recuperate much quicker, your time away from care taking is much less, you
are back to work much more quickly. It's been an incredible transformation through
the years. I got to know a lot of my patients through delivering when I was doing obstetrics
before so, it's a continuation of care and it's fun.
