Fountain Valley, CA – MemorialCare has announced a strategic partnership with Irvine-based, OB/GYN group, Doctors of Women, to provide expanded access to comprehensive women’s health services. Doctors of Women will officially join MemorialCare Medical Group as of December 29, 2020.
With a more than 30-year history of providing high-quality health care to Irvine and the surrounding communities, and a lengthy relationship with Hoag Hospital and Providence St. Joseph Health System, Doctors of Women recently chose to align with MemorialCare. While the group will remain in their current location – 62 Corporate Park, Suite 100, in Irvine – they will perform surgical cases and deliveries at MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center and join the team of obstetricians, pediatricians and other specialists who help deliver and care for nearly 2,500 babies a year in the Women’s Hospital at Saddleback Medical Center.
The all-women team of board-certified obstetricians and gynecologists at Doctors of Women: Monica Aszterbaum, M.D.; Carla Wells, M.D.; Pantea Mozayeni, M.D.; Lisa Crane, M.D., provides patients education, diagnosis, treatment, and self-care. In addition to offering prevention and lifestyle counseling, the group offers patients access to highly technical diagnostic tools and the latest scientifically validated, advanced treatments and minimally invasive surgical procedures.
“Because we share a commitment to providing our patients convenient access to the most advanced and clinically-proven reproductive health care in Orange County, our decision to partner with MemorialCare was a simple one,” says Monica Aszterbaum, MD, OB/GYN and senior partner of Doctors of Women. “We have been completely impressed with The Women’s Hospital at Saddleback Medical Center – the clinical support team, the physicians and the leadership. We know our patients will receive exceptional quality of care and service. We are honored to join the MemorialCare and Saddleback Medical Center family.”
As a result of this strategic partnership, MemorialCare continues to expand its rapidly growing footprint in Irvine. Doctors of Women adds MemorialCare’s 10th location in Irvine, offering a wide-range of health services including: primary care, pediatrics, specialty care, urgent care, imaging centers, full-service breast centers, an outpatient surgery center and dialysis center.
“Doctors of Women is an exceptional group of board-certified obstetricians and gynecologists who further enhance our ability and commitment to providing great care to women through all stages of life,” explains Mark Schafer, M.D., CEO, MemorialCare Medical Foundation, which includes MemorialCare Medical Group and Greater Newport Physicians. “This expansion will positively impact our rapid growth in Irvine and further cement our proud tradition of delivering compassionate, quality health care throughout our entire region.”
