About

Craig S. Saffer, MD brings board-certified obstetric and gynecological expertise to Carlsbad through West Coast OB/GYN Inc. at 6125 Paseo Del Norte in the Aviara area, where his specialization in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery has earned designation by the AAGL Center of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology. His da Vinci robotic surgery program and traditional laparoscopic repertoire support complex cases that often begin with fertility evaluation through specialists such as Fertility Specialists Medical Group in the same Carlsbad medical corridor. The University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa provided his medical degree in 1989, followed by residency at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, and his research portfolio includes cervical cancer prevention, fibroid treatment, and postmenopausal therapies. Discovery Channel and The Learning Channel have featured his surgical techniques, and San Diego Magazine has recognized him as a Top Doctor on multiple occasions — peer-nominated credentials that complement the broader OB/GYN referral network anchored by providers including Mickey S. Coffler, MD, FACOG in Carlsbad. Robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse repair utilizes mesh suspension through a multi-port laparoscopic approach to restore vaginal apex support with reduced hospitalization compared to open abdominal techniques.
