Shan Melissa Biscette, MD

“I have always wanted to care for the primary caregivers – women. Growing up in a third-world country, I saw a great need for medical care, and I wanted to advocate for change. I believe that good health is one of the cornerstones of the human experience, and I try to inspire my patients every day to be active participants in their well-being.”

She focuses on advanced gynecologic surgery and has clinical interests in endometriosis, fibroids, hysterectomies, Mullerian anomalies (an irregularly shaped or missing uterus or cervix), abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, surgical outcomes after gynecologic surgery and surgical education.
