Red M. Alinsod, M.D., FACOG, FACS, ACGE - Applies Consultation Fee Toward Surgery!
Choices & Solutions For Women.
Our mission is to offer timely, compassionate and personalized care. We strive to provide you with answers and options, as quickly as possible, and to assist you in understanding the personal solutions best suited to meeting your individual needs. We are the only practice on the West Coast that provides vaginal rejuvenation, advanced laser treatments, endometrial ablation and sterilization in the office without an I.V. Our patients receive the most modern technologies but with an old fashion warmth that is both refreshing and reassuring. This resource reflects our ambitious efforts to cater to your desires and diligently meet your needs.
Dr. Alinsod's skill-set is unique in that it enables him to integrate the skills of a gynecologist, urologist, and plastic surgeon. He focuses exclusively on labial, vaginal, and pelvic surgery. Our practice is one of the very few internet based practice
Since the birth of my 3rd child, I searched for a physician who would help me correct what I was told to be “normal” by numerous obstetricians / gynecologists. I thought I had stress incontinence, and knew I had large, uncomfortable labia, and a stretched vagina. I felt helpless until I met Dr. Alinsod.
It was last year when I discovered Dr. Red Alinsod by searching the Internet. I contacted him via email and to my surprise was contacted the next day, which happened to be on a Saturday. I could not believe the quick response and his sincerity and loyalty to his patients. I immediately knew he was a genuine person and very experienced by our phone conversation. He understood my needs and scheduled a consult.
Dr. Alinsod performed a labiaplasty with unbelievable results. I was so impressed. I went back and within two months had a vaginoplasty, rectocele repair, and stress incontinence sling. My quality of life is 110% better.
I travel from North County, San Diego area to Laguna to see Dr. Alinsod. I highly recommend traveling across the states to anyone seeking the highest quality, state-of-the-art treatment. Dr. Alinsod is compassionate and truly takes pride in his profession. He is professional and kind with communication being one of his best qualities. I recommend Dr. Alinsod to all of my family and friends. I truly wish that all physicians practiced medicine in the same manner as Dr. Alinsod. He is simply amazing.
