Compassionate Healthcare
At NYFPRS, our mission is to provide you with personalized, high-quality care. We are dedicated to improving and maintaining your health and wellness through preventative care and treating chronic diseases. We specialize in treating conditions of the pelvic floor including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, as well as causes of pelvic pain such as endometriosis, fibroids, interstitial Cystitis, adenomyosis, and chronic urethral syndrome. Stressors that cause anxiety, and insomnia are also evaluated as part of our wellness program. Other conditions such as fecal incontinence, abnormal uterine bleeding, post-menoapausal vaginal bleeding, general Gynecologic services, pap test screening, treatment of ovarian cysts, birth control options, evaluation of heavy periods, annual mammography screening referrals, and annual well woman exams are evaluated as well. When surgery is required, over 90% of the surgeries that Dr. Olivera performs are done in a minimally invasive fashion with either small incisions or no abdominal incision at all. Patients usually go home the same day, and frequently in as little as 4 hours after surgery. He is well versed in pelvic floor dysfunction as well as non-surgical options for the treatment of prolapse, including pessary fitting and insertion. Dr. Olivera is known for his compassion, friendly demeanor and attention to details. One of his patients have been quoted as saying " Now that I've have had my problem fixed, I can enjoy walks with my family again. I feel complete". Another patient recently filled out a hospital survey and noted, “I was very pleased to become a patient of Dr. Cedric Olivera. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions.
