THE RIGHT REFERRAL MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. The next time your patient needs a referral to a gynecologic oncologist, consider Dr. Ann L. Buhl, director of Gynecologic Oncology at South Nassau Communities Hospital. Ann L. Buhl, MD, is board-certifi ed in both OB/GYN and gynecologic oncology, with practice limited to gynecology and gynecologic oncology. There are only about 1,000 board-certifi ed gynecologic oncologists in the entire United States. Studies show that patients with gynecologic cancers who are treated by a gynecologic oncologist have better outcomes as compared to patients who receive care from a nonspecialist. For the most advanced treatment options available, the minimally invasive da Vinci ® Surgical System is here at South Nassau; and Dr. Buhl is one of a small number of doctors qualifi ed to use it for diagnoses and treatment of early-stage, advanced and recurrent gynecologic cancers and nonmalignant conditions. The da Vinci system is a state-of-the-art "robot" that elevates laparoscopy to a higher level of effectiveness and precision. When you refer your patient to Dr. Buhl, you will become part of a team that collaborates to provide the highest quality care, gold standard treatment and the best possible outcome. Call 516-632-3350 to discuss referral options or for information, visit southnassau.org/cancer. "It was a privilege to collaborate with Dr. Buhl on my patient's care. Her expert knowledge of the da Vinci ® Surgical System, coupled with the excellence I encountered at South Nassau, ensured the best possible patient outcome." — DAWN TORRE, MD Garden City, NY
