Providing comprehensive, compassionate care for women with a team of specialized physicians and state-of-the-art technology, LRH ensures that women receive the highest standard of care, whether they are managing breast health, reproductive issues, or other health concerns.
Let’s explore the unique care options available and meet a few of the physicians providing expert-level care.
💖 Breast care
From early detection through routine screenings to treating malignant and benign breast diseases, LRH is there every step of the way.
Dr. Vanessa Prowler is a trained clinician in cancer risk assessment with a clinical focus on high-risk breast patients and a technique called “oncoplastic” surgery.
Dr. Prowler is also the only surgeon in the area to use the advanced “hidden scar” technique for her patients undergoing breast surgery. She completed additional training to learn how to make smaller incisions in a hidden area underneath the breast to ensure that breast cancer patients do not have large, noticeable scars long after their cancer journey is over.
“My hope is that when a woman looks in the mirror for the rest of their life, they won’t see that scar anymore,” Dr. Prowler said.
Physicians at LRH are dedicated to women’s health, offering personalized care and support at every stage of life.

“I work to build a relationship with each patient so we can collaborate to meet her health goals,” Dr. Hahn said.
Complementing their efforts, Dr. Shelena Ali-Bynom, who specializes in preventative women’s health, emphasized the power of patient education: “Knowledge is power, and I aim to ensure my patients feel heard and cared for.”
