Dr. Abair’s specialties include: routine health maintenance, contraceptive counseling, Essure sterilization, endometrial ablation, high- and low-risk obstetrical care, HPV management, abnormal paps smears and colposcopy, and comprehensive gynecological care.
Also, as a surgeon with Avista Adventist Hospital, Dr. Abair is part of a select team of Colorado OB/GYN physicians and hospitals that have earned the AAGL Center of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology (COEMIG) seal from the American Associate of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) and Surgical Review Corporation.
This designation places Dr. Abair at the forefront of minimally invasive gynecologic care and signifies her commitment to provide the best and safest care to her patients.
“I believe that being at the leading edge of medicine and minimally invasive surgery is important to my patients because it allows them to have the best surgical outcomes,” said Dr. Abair. “Patients are able to return to their usual activities of exercise and work faster and with less pain than with more invasive approaches.”
