FOR BOTH NEW patients and established patients, Dr. Gary Agena, board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, has one goal in mind when it comes to his practice—life-long care in a warm, family-friendly environment. “Each patient who comes to me is an individual,” he says. “I customize each patient’s care to their needs. And I establish a lasting, ongoing relationship with them.” Offering complete, comprehensive, gynecologic and obstetric care, Dr. Agena treats patients from premenstrual to postmenopausal, with needs on every level. From adolescent young women experiencing their first visit to the gynecologist, to expectant mothers, to patients in need of medical intervention through surgery, he treats women at every stage in life. “I am certified in the daVinci® robotic surgical system and I am a certified instructor as well,” he notes. “My patients are not just a number. I work on their needs even after they leave. And if for some reason, I feel I need to check in with a patient, myself or one of the nurses will check in just to make sure everything is okay.” With the philosophy that healthy families are made up of healthy individuals, Dr. Agena offers patients a long-term plan to reach their optimum health and wellness goals. “If a patient comes to me with a goal of becoming healthier by quitting smoking, or losing weight, I will take that extra ten minutes to help them formulate a solution,” he says. I have a vested interest in their well-being, and I think I can offer a different perspective on approaching a problem. It matters to me that they reach their goals.” Actively involved in the health care community, Dr. Agena will appear on the local television show Health Quest in October. He also teaches monthly educational courses at two area hospitals. For new patients or parents seeking a health care provider for their adolescent daughters, Dr. Agena is happy to sit down one on one for a consultation before the initial visit. “I am available to all of my patients. Patients rarely call, even after hours, without getting an immediate or extremely fast response,” he says. “It all comes down to the respect I have for each one of my patients. I try to treat them equally and I strive to be a better physician each and every day.”
