Aparna Ramanathan, MD, MPH, is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and fellowship trained in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) as well as in global health leadership and innovation. Dr. Ramanathan completed her residency at the University of Texas Southwestern Parkland Health and Hospital System in Dallas, Texas. From there, she completed her global health fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts and her MIGS fellowship at the MedStar Health National Center for Advanced Pelvic Surgery in Washington, DC.
Dr. Ramanathan strives to make sure that her patients feel seen and heard in their gynecologic care. Research in gynecologic conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and intrauterine adhesions have long been underfunded at the national level with the result being that patients often struggle to get accurately and compassionately diagnosed and treated. Dr. Ramanathan believes in a team approach to medical decision making so that patients can make informed decisions about treatment including surgery that meets their overall goals and helps them return to a rich and fulfilling life.
Dr. Ramanathan specializes in minimally invasive laparoscopic, robotic, and hysteroscopic surgeries including fertility-sparing myomectomy, excision of endometriosis, complex pelvic laparoscopy, and minimally invasive hysterectomy. She can perform many operative hysteroscopic procedures including the treatment of intrauterine adhesions (Ashermans syndrome) in the office itself, saving patients a trip to the operating room.
Dr. Ramanathan enjoys meditation, growing peppers, cooking for others, and exploring America's national parks with her goofball puppy, Felix. She dabbles in fermentation, tap dancing, creative writing, and musical theater. She is also an avid reader, a proud Gryffindor, and a triathlete.
