Dr. Elizabeth Hutson

Dr. Elizabeth Hutson graduated with honors from Southern Illinois University Medical School in 1993 and completed her OB/GYN residency at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona in 1997. She practiced both Obstetrics and Gynecology for 4 years in Santa Maria, California before moving to Reno in 2001, to join Dr. Netuschil and Dr. Naughton in a Gynecology only practice.

She loves practicing Gynecology only and feels that she can better focus her energies on her patients' gynecologic needs. She is able to keep abreast of the latest advances in the field and spend more time with each and every patient. While she loves the education aspect of her field, she is also a great surgeon. She is very excited about the direction that gynecologic surgery is taking -- becoming less invasive with faster recovery time for the patients. In fact, many of the treatment options available now, can be done in the office.

Dr. Hutson is also interested in Urogynecology, a field that involves addressing the urologic needs of women. She was one of the first to bring TVT (a less invasive urethral sling procedure) to Reno. She is still currently using a similar technique to help women with bladder control issues. Her office is fully equipped to evaluate and treat urinary problems.

Performing most of her surgeries through small incisions, Dr. Hutson in a big believer in minimally invasive surgery. To expand her options, in 2008, she went through special training to become a da Vinci surgeon. Since then, she has performed hundreds of these procedures with great success. With this technology, most surgical procedures can be done with small incisions, including myomectomies and sacralcolpopexies. This is very exciting technology and patients are having less pain and able to get back to their usual activities faster.

From seeing patients in the office -- to performing a hysterectomy-- to doing an in office endometrial ablation, Dr. Hutson loves the entire field of Gynecology and Urogynecology and continues to be excited about helping patients reach their goals. She tries to make every patient feel comfortable, educated and empowered to make good healthcare decisions. Dr. Hutson enjoys helping women achieve a healthier, more active lifestyle.
