About Dr. Stutes:

History

Dr. Stutes graduated from medical school and entered a four-year residency in obstetrics and gynecology in one of the more demanding hospital settings in the country.  He completed his residency, having served as both Chief Resident for Obstetrics and Chief Resident for Gynecology.  After entering private practice as an OB/GYN, Dr. Stutes expanded his expertise into both OB/GYN Microsurgery and pelviscopy.   During his early surgical career, a concern for the state of women's health and women's rights kept him actively involved in helping women with unwanted pregnancies.

As Dr. Stutes grew more experienced with abortion procedures, he observed that the general practices of the time did not meet a standard that he found acceptable.  Recognizing that being an experienced gynecologist and surgeon did not make one an expert abortion doctor, Dr. Stutes decided that he had to make a choice.  He chose to give up his profitable OB/GYN practice and join Dr. Eugene Glick in in Reno, Nevada, the recognized leader in the modern, caring, and gentle abortion technique.

The procedure used at the West End Women's Medical Group is the simplest and most modern method of pregnancy termination.
