William A. Growdon, M.D. Doctor Growdon left academic practice in 1989 to pursue full time private patient care. Despite an association with other physicians, a "solo" private practice atmosphere exists. Obstetrical care is not handled as a group practice normally handles care. The expectation is that delivery will occur the majority of the time with Doctor Growdon in attendance. Gynecologic care is given with conservative options and surgery as a last resort if possible. A full-service urodynamic laboratory is used in the office to assist the problems of incontinence in women. The office staff promotes a family-style approach to medical care with easy access to the physicians when questions or problems arise. Financial arrangements can usually be made to the patient's satisfaction where there is no insurance coverage available. Humanistic patient care and advocacy for patient rights are hallmarks of this practice.
