Dr. Bruce S. Kahn's Credentials
Biography
Dr. Kahn is a board certified gynecologist and also was one of the first in the country to obtain additional subspecialty certification in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (urogynecology). Thus he is able to treat the full spectrum of concerns related to the female pelvic organs. Dr. Kahn treats many complex gynecologic problems including uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, menstrual disorders, menopausal symptoms, contraception, infertility and more. He has particular expertise in treating difficult problems such as pelvic pain, interstitial cystitis (painful bladder syndrome), urinary incontinence, frequency and urgency (overactive bladder), as well as pelvic organ prolapse (uterine or vaginal prolapse). Whenever possible, Dr. Kahn seeks to find non-surgical solutions for his patients. However, when surgery is necessary, he strives to ensure that patients receive a minimally invasive procedure whenever possible. He has extensive experience in all type of pelvic surgery including vaginal, laparoscopic and robotic procedures. He was one of the first surgeons in San Diego to perform laparoscopic hysterectomy and more recently, he was one of the first to offer robotically-assisted single incision (“belly button”) hysterectomy.

Wonderful physician/practice! I flew back to the USA to see my PCP for an acute onset of an issue. After a complete hysterectomy in 2004 because of endometrial & breast cancer, I didn't know what could possibly be causing these symptoms. My PCP immediately recommended Dr. Kahn's practice, and they saw me the next day. I didn't think my problem would be OB/GYN however Dr. Kahn is the BEST physician. He diagnosed the problem immediately and after two visits, I'm well on my way to recovery. What is amazing is his care, manner, he explained everything, he asked questions and I was so comfortable. I know selecting an OB/GYN is also a difficult decision. When my kids were born (late 80's), we didn't have a chance to select OB physicians at the military bases. I can only say if any women have an opportunity to select a OB/GYN, please consider Dr. Kahn! I cannot speak more highly of him, the care I received, the ability to work me into their schedule immediately. It is amazing when you can feel better immediately and to have a physician who has his experience and care! Amazing practice! I get to fly back now! I have no pain and all possible thanks to Dr. Kahn and his team!
