Biography:
Deanna E. Guthrie joined our practice in 1994. She received her medical degree and completed her residency at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. It was there that she made professional associations that carried through to her private practice goals. Dr. Guthrie has a special interest in laparoscopic surgery and urogynecology and has received recognition from the American Society of Laparoscopic Surgeons.
Most recently she received specialized training and is adept in daVinci Robotic gynecological procedures. Because of her growing expertise with this advanced technique she is often sought out as a mentor for other surgeons.
As an OB/GYN she finds the most gratifying moments of her practice range from helping an infertile couple to become pregnant to managing issues of perimenopause, urinary leakage and pelvic prolapse. She also performs in-office surgical procedures to include diagnostic hysteroscopy, Novasure ablation and Essure tubal ligations.
Dr. Guthrie believes in offering total healthcare to women of all ages from teens to eighty plus. She looks forward to providing and encouraging long-term patient – physician relationships.
