GYN

Our board-certified St. Joseph's/Candler Physician Network gynecologists have the unique skills and experience necessary to address issues unique to all women of all ages. 

Thousands of women face sensitive and potentially embarrassing gynecological issues such as urinary incontinence and pelvic prolapse. Others simply need a specialized and highly experienced physician to help them through the various stages of their lives. That’s just what you’ll find with St. Joseph’s/Candler Physician Network – Gynecology.

Gynecology is the branch of medicine that deals with the functions and diseases specific to women, especially those affecting the reproductive system. A gynecologist is medically trained to diagnosis and treat conditions and disease of the reproductive system. Our physician solely dedicated to gynecology is Dr. Barry Schlafstein, who has been in practice for more than 20 years and has devoted his professional life to understanding and treating unique gynecologic needs of women.
