  • Gynecological Care

    ETSU Health OB/GYN specialists provide routine gynecological care, including annual well visits, and treatment as needed for conditions that cause pelvic or vaginal pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, and other conditions that can affect your reproductive health.


    Dr. Salvatore Paolillo, a fellowship trained minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, can perform complex laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. That means smaller incisions, shorter surgeries, less pain and faster healing to treat:


    Endometriosis / Adenomyosis
    Chronic Pelvic Pain
    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
    Interstitial Cystitis (IC) - Painful Bladder Syndrome
    Cysts, fibroids and uterine polyps
    Adhesions / scar tissue
    Pelvic Organ Prolapse
    Incontinence – leaky bladder
    Hysterectomy
    Fertility-reducing conditions




    Our specialist in Kingsport, Dr. Dennis DeSimone, also provides gynecological oncology, laparoscopic pelvic surgery, and advanced pelvic surgery.

  • Obstetrical Care

    Our OB/GYN specialists provide care to women in all stages of childbearing: hoping to become pregnant, pregnant, and in the postpartum period. Our highly skilled experts are trained to provide the safest, most advanced obstetrical care whether your pregnancy is routine or you are at high risk for complications.

  • Maternal Fetal Medicine

    Our ETSU Health OB/GYN clinic offers specialized care when you need it most. If you have two or more medical conditions that could impact your pregnancy, or if your provider has concerns about your child’s prenatal development, our Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic is here to help.

    • Management for high-risk pregnancies with maternal/fetal complications and fetal anomalies
    • Prenatal diagnosis, including:
      • first trimester ultrasound and nuchal translucency assessment, an optional ultrasound that improves the accuracy of determining your child’s risk for congenital conditions
      • level 2 anatomy examinations, where we gain detailed measurements and screen for genetic disorders
      • genetic amniocentesis, a sampling of your amniotic fluid to DNA test for certain conditions
    • Monitoring fetal well-being through biophysical profiles and non-stress tests
    • Ultrasound scheduling available from 7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m., Monday-Friday
  • Fertility Care

    If you are having trouble conceiving, your obstetrician may refer you to our fertility specialist. Our fertility specialists can recommend a range of treatment options to help you reach your goals. Learn more about our Fertility Services.

  • Lactation Consultations

    Expecting parents who are patients of ETSU Health OB/GYN are automatically scheduled for consults at our Regional Lactation Referral Center. Patients receiving care with another OB group are welcome to schedule an appointment for prenatal consultation.


    Our registered lactation consultant will review your medical history, explore your infant feeding options, and develop a plan for the early days and weeks after delivery that is tailored to you and your needs.
