Marchand Institute For Minimally Invasive Surgery

Dr. Marchand is originally from Providence, RI, and serves as the program director for the SLS-accredited fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at HonorHealth Four Peaks Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona. He is fellowship-trained in MIGS (also known as CBG) and is dual board certified in OB/GYN and MIGS (Practice Focus). In addition, Dr. Marchand was in the very first class to receive the new ABOG practice focus designation in MIGS in 2021.
Dr. Marchand was recently honored with a world record for performing a total laparoscopic hysterectomy through the smallest incision ever recorded. He was previously recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records™ for removing a 7-lb uterus without resorting to laparotomy. He was also the first surgeon in the United States to receive the “Master Surgeon” designation from the Surgical Review Corporation for Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery.
When he is not in the operating room, Dr. Marchand enjoys low-carb living with his beautiful wife, Katelyn, and chasing around his thirteen-year-old football star son, Sebastian.

Quotes from Dr. Gregory Marchand:

“Keep making the incisions smaller and fewer – the postoperative pain, recovery, and complications will follow.”

“I know what it’s like to face a diagnosis of cancer, and in my opinion, advancements in the surgical treatment of cancer are just as important as the newest cancer-fighting drugs and chemotherapy agents.”

“Wishing to ban surgical morcellation is exactly the same as wishing to ban all chemotherapy.  Both are excellent life saving tools with a very narrow indication. Outside that indication they are both equally deadly.”
