Tangi Lifestyles Out Front Article

North Oaks Obstetrics and Gynecology is out front as the first da Vinci Robotic Surgeons in Hammond Louisiana.  We negotiated with both North Oaks Health Systems and Cypress Pointe Surgical Center to purchase a robot so we could give our patients the option to choose robotic surgery for gynecological procedures in Hammond.  North Oaks Hospital made the decision to purchase the robot back in December 2010 and plan to have the robot available for us to use by the end of April 2011. 

Currently Drs Mabry and Agena are certified to use the robot. They have been performing procedures on the robot at Ochsner in Baton Rouge  Dr. Ashford is certified as a first assist and will complete his training in Hammond in May 2011.  Both Drs Black and Beacham will began their training in May also.  Our goal is to have all of our physicians trained to use the robot.
