REFRESHING Approach to Fertility
From receiving gynecologic patterns to managing infertility, our medical approach is modern yet compliments your body’s natural functions. We provide support for Natural Family Planning and strive to educate our patients as partners in their own care.
The mission of Morning Star Obstetrics and Gynecology is to promote the dignity and well-being of women by providing exceptional obstetrics and gynecology services. We aim to preserve and restore the integrity of the body and soul, support each woman in her state in life, serve with humility, respect fertility, and uphold the sacredness of human life.
Preserve and restore the integrity of the body and soul.
Health requires attention to the entire person, so we provide the best in current medical and surgical therapies to manage physical conditions and gently address spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and psychological concerns, providing referrals when indicated. We pray for our patients and with them as appropriate. We also provide routine screening for health maintenance and encourage our patients to adopt healthy behaviors.
Support each woman in her state in life.
Whether providing prenatal care to ensure a safe delivery or listening to and educating patients during well-woman visits, our services are meant to support each woman in her particular state in life. We recognize that women, present and active in all aspects of life, have a powerful, unique and dignified role in nurturing humanity.
Serve with humility.
It is a privilege to serve our patients, and we endeavor to be truly present to those who come to us for care. All are welcome. We maintain a bilingual environment of English and Spanish.
Respect fertility.
Fertility is a gift, a power, and a responsibility. Our therapies cooperate with and seek to restore the body’s functioning. We support and advise couples in the use of natural family planning not only to help in the treatment of many gynecologic problems including infertility but also to strengthen their marriages and families.
Uphold the sacredness of human life.
We recognize the dignity of each person, especially the most vulnerable: the sick, the poor, the unborn, and the elderly. Women in crisis pregnancies are received with compassion. We do not provide or recommend abortion, euthanasia, sterilization, or contraceptive services. More and more women are being hurt or having significant side effects from these services, and they deserve better.
.
The name Morning Star was chosen to give honor to Mary, the mother of Jesus, and to ask for her intercession for our staff, our patients, and their families.
According to Catholic tradition, the title of Morning Star is given to the Blessed Mother of our Lord. Just as the morning star announces the coming of the day, appearing in the sky and reflecting the light of the sun, “Mary appeared on the horizon of salvation history before Christ,”1 and shows us the way to Him. She reflects the light of the Creator and Redeemer and exalts His glory.
From her humble assent welcoming Jesus into her life to her faithful witness at the foot of the cross, she is a model for all believers. But, in a special way, Mary knows the blessings and trials of motherhood. This can be a comfort for women in particular. As her cousin Elizabeth proclaimed, “Blessed are you among women” (Lk 1:42).
Mary has played a special role in my vocation as an obstetrician/gynecologist. While praying in the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in January 2000, I realized that I would have her protection if I entered the specialty geared towards the care of women. Dr. John Bruchalski, who was my preceptor at the time, explained that Our Lady of Guadalupe promised Juan Diego (and all her children) he would be in the folds of her mantle despite his lack of courage for his mission. She has been a source of consolation for me during the final years of medical school, four years of residency training, and now as I start private practice as a physician faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church.
At Morning Star Obstetrics and Gynecology, we recognize that Mary points the way to Christ, the Divine Healer. We hope to follow her example of courage, humility, and fidelity in our practice to bring the healing ministry of Christ to our patients and their families.
