Emily Hamilton, MD Obstetrics and Gynecology in Paramus, NJ

Dr. Emily Hamilton is an obstetrician-gynecologist providing comprehensive care for women at every stage of life, from adolescence through pregnancy and menopause. Her practice spans routine well-woman and preventive care, contraception, pregnancy and prenatal care, and the evaluation of concerns such as irregular or painful periods, abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and menopausal symptoms. She is also trained in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery — including hysteroscopy, myomectomy, and minimally invasive hysterectomy — an area in which she was recognized during her residency at Northwell Health Staten Island University Hospital with the AAGL Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology Award. 

Dr. Hamilton believes the best care begins with listening. She works to create a welcoming, trusting environment where patients feel comfortable asking questions that lead to mutual understanding. She tailors evidence-based recommendations to each patient's individual needs, values, and goals so decisions can be made together. She maintains an interest in global women's health, having traveled to the Dominican Republic to perform gynecologic surgery. Outside the office, she encourages patients to find a form of movement they genuinely enjoy — a philosophy she follows herself by maintaining an active lifestyle.

FAQ:

1. "I'm thinking about getting pregnant soon — what should I do to prepare?" Dr. Hamilton recommends scheduling a preconception visit and starting a prenatal vitamin with folic acid. At that visit, she reviews medical history, current medications, vaccination status, and lifestyle factors to help optimize health before pregnancy.

2. "My periods are irregular (or heavy/painful) — is that normal?" Irregular bleeding has many possible causes, from hormonal variation to conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, or ovarian cysts. Dr. Hamilton evaluates symptoms individually to determine whether testing or treatment is needed — abnormal uterine bleeding and fibroids are among her core clinical interests.

3. "How often should I be seen, and what screenings do I need at my age?" Even when a patient feels well, routine gynecologic visits are an important part of preventive care. Dr. Hamilton tailors visit frequency and screening to each patient's age, history, and individual risk factors.

4. "What are my contraception options, and which one is right for me?" Dr. Hamilton counsels patients through the full range of contraceptive options and performs IUD and contraceptive implant insertion and removal in the office. Her approach is to match the method to the patient's health history, goals, and preferences through shared decision-making.
