Gynecology without obstetrics In the summer of 2005, after delivering nearly 5000 babies in 28 years, I turned my focus to state-of-the-art gynecology in a new practice which we call Femme Vitale, PLC. We want to enhance the robust vitality of women of all ages using Bio Identical (sometimes called natural) treatments, products and hormones best understood by women's bodies. We offer minimally invasive office surgical procedures and avoid the hospital whenever safe, possible and in the woman's best interest.

Care Philosophy

We believe that every woman needs high-quality healthcare - and deserves a caring physician she can rely on. Board-certified gynecologist, Dr. Lawrence Cairns provides compassionate, state-of-the-art gynecologic care that encompasses the physical, emotional, sexual and spiritual aspects of each woman's life. This is done with an emphasis on wellness and use of Bio-Identical (natural) therapies. We humbly acknowledge that we treat, but God heals.
