Introduction

Dr. Fields has developed a method of prenatal care and management for the early detection and treatment of preterm labor in both high-risk and low-risk women which has resulted in full term delivery in over 98% of his patients over three decades. Additionally, during the entire course of his career, very few of his active patients have developed invasive cancers — only one patient with cervical cancer, one with endometrial cancer, one with colon cancer and two with ovarian cancer. He attributes this to the maximal effective application of available technology for both the prevention of gynecologic cancers and maximal use of effective screening to find potential cancers before they become invasive. In accord with this, he also specializes in the treatment of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and abnormal Pap smears, and hormonal management of women throughout their lifetimes, beginning with the reproductive years and continuing into the perimenopause and menopause. He also provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of infertility except for in vitro fertilization. Solo practice with concentration on personalized therapy and care for each patient. Over his entire career, he has personally delivered all but four of the babies under his care.
