Elite OB/GYN Expands Its Services to Florida Medical Center in
Lauderdale Lakes
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Lanalee Sam,
founder of Elite OB/GYN, celebrates her 10-year anniversary in East
Fort Lauderdale by opening a second branch at Florida Medical Center,
Lauderdale Lakes, FL. The West office, headed by Dr. Marielena Guerra,
expands the practice's philosophy, offering a 360-degree view of
women's health care and provides more convenient access off the
Florida Turnpike for patients who travel from across South Florida for
Elite OB/GYN services.

Dr. Guerra's specialty OB/GYN medicine is fostered in multi-cultural
experiences; born in Cuba, lived in Venezuela, raised and earned her
undergraduate degree in Miami, attended medical school in Dominica,
and completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology in Brooklyn
and Manhattan, NY and Jacksonville, FL. She follows Dr. Sam into
robotics surgery, providing less-invasive procedures, with minimal
scaring and rehabilitation time. "We treat our patients with utmost
care, respecting their time and needs, ensuring constantly that we
truly care about them," says Dr. Guerra, "As women treating women, we
empathize with their feelings and experiences and help them make
educated decisions about health and medical care -- for them and their
families."
Dr. Sam's philosophy is evident in the feminine, comfortable, pleasant
setting of her offices and in her personal treatment of each patient.
"My 'boutique' practice is the antithesis of what many women are
unfortunately used to -- waiting, feeling rushed, and receiving
impersonal, one-dimensional care," she states, "At Elite OB/GYN, we
cater to women's total needs, creating relationships during the most
miraculous time of their lives." Dr. Guerra and Dr. Sam share the
sentiment that respect for a woman's time, body and emotions evokes
trust and creates happy and empowered patients -- of any ethnic or
cultural background.
Dr. Guerra is attracted to the strong Hispanic culture in South
Florida, reaching out to the young women who can identify with her and
to their mothers who will feel secure, knowing they and their
daughters, who are entering a new phase of their life -- adolescence,
adulthood or motherhood -- are safe and protected. "There are some
different outlooks in our culture," explains Dr. Guerra who is
bilingual in Spanish and English, "Mothers are protective, we
understand, and we provide a level of care that coincides with that --
we are daughters too -- in a position to help mothers make transitions
as well!"
Elite OB/GYN West opens April 24 at 3001 NW 49th Avenue, Suite 202,
Lauderdale Lakes, with office hours by appointment Monday, Tuesday and
Thursday (surgeries are scheduled Wednesday mornings). For information
or appointments, call 954 776 4877.
Elite OB/GYN: Dr. Lanalee Sam started her practice in 2004, offering
alternatives to impersonal care for women. Her "Concierge" service
ensures patients delivering babies receive 24/7 care with deliveries
and surgeries through Broward Health facilities. Dr. Sam is also
Medical Director at Florida Medical Center, Women's Health from the
Heart.
