At the KU Center for Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery, our physicians take pride in offering patients up-to-date and advanced treatment options for gynecological problems.  Our physicians realize the importance of a quicker recovery time and return to daily activities.

Our physicians also use the da Vinci Surgical System.  The University of Kansas Medical Center is one of the first institutions in the state of Kansas to have surgeons trained to perform gynecological procedures using this state-of-the-art robotic system.

At the KU Center for Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery, our patients are offered minimally invasive procedures whenever possible but they may not be suitable to all patients.  Our surgeons will take the time to discuss options with patients on an individual basis.

KU Women's Health Specialty Centers is pleased to announce that a new faculty member has joined us recently.  

Kimberly Swan, M.D. is excited to return to the Kansas City area and begin practicing at KU Women's Health Specialty Centers. After graduating from the University of Kansas School of Medicine she completed her Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at Exempla Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Denver, Colorado.  She returns to KC after completing a fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (accredited by the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists) in Orlando, Florida. 

Dr. Swan’s greatest joy is taking care of patients. All of her patients have unique needs and concerns, which Dr. Swan strives to understand and address. She believes that patients deserve to be informed of all treatment options (surgical and non-surgical) and allowed to make informed decisions about their care.

Dr. Swan specializes in treating a wide range of complex gynecologic problems. She is proud to offer minimally invasive techniques to her patients, which helps shorten patient recovery time.
