Overview

West Coast OB/GYN Associates is a young, dynamic group of physicians who provide full spectrum healthcare for women and specialize in minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures that allow patients to return home more quickly. The practice’s four physicians trained at nationally respected, high-volume obstetric hospitals that allowed them to perfect their cutting-edge surgical techniques using state-of the-art equipment and the latest science.

“We try to find the least invasive way to approach surgery while still keeping the patient safe,” says Dr. Maggie Marcrander. “We offer them all possible choices, and then, as a team, decide the best option in their particular case.”

The group, which includes a nurse practitioner and a caring medical support staff, stays on the front line of research into female healthcare by participating in clinical trials.

Preventative women’s healthcare and obstetric care, including high-risk pregnancies and those involving advanced maternal age, are additional specialties of West Coast OB/GYN. All of West Coast’s doctors are on staff at the prestigious Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women.

“We are friendly and compassionate and try to take care of the whole patient,” says Dr. Craig Saffer, named a top doctor by San Diego Magazine.

“WE TAKE CARE OF THE WHOLE LIFE OF A WOMAN, FROM ADOLESCENCE THROUGH HER REPRODUCTIVE YEARS AND ON INTO HER POST-MENOPAUSAL GOLDEN YEARS.”

The group has a strong commitment to the journey they take with their patients.

“We take care of the whole life of a woman, from adolescence through her reproductive years and on into her post-menopausal golden years,” says Dr. Kim Goodwin, also named as one of the city’s best physicians by San Diego Magazine.

Patient visits take place in a relaxed yet professional atmosphere at the group’s newly built modern office, centrally located and adjacent to Sharp Mary Birch.
