General Practitioners

• Primary Care
  Avoid chronic use of laxatives. If you have severe pain unrelieved by these measures, you may have developed a blood clot in the hemorrhoid which may need to be treated by your primary care provider or gastrointestinal physician.
• Urinary Incontinence
  Vaginal Rejuvenation – Radiofrequency heat to tighten and improve blood flow and sensation to the external and internal female genitalia. Our office offers Votiva to treat vaginal laxity, atrophy, mild urinary incontinence, and some sexual dysfunction. Talk to a provider to see if Votiva is an option for you.

Gynecologists

• Gynecology
  At Generations Ob/Gyn, we spend a lot of time doing gynecology preventive care. Most women upon completing childbearing feel like there’s not much more they need to do with the ob/gyn. But that cannot be more untrue, as we now like to concentrate on your general female health.
• Female Infertility
• Obstetrics
  Beth believes every woman has value and every woman has a story. She also believes a woman’s health status greatly impacts her story. As a women’s health nurse practitioner, Beth uses a holistic, individualized, and evidenced-based approach that begins with taking time to truly listen to her patients. She collaborates with physicians to provide care for women throughout their lifespan and holds special interests in wellness, adolescents, and obstetrics.
• Endometriosis
  In addition to hysterectomy, other procedures such as removal of ovarian cysts, tubal sterilization, treatment of endometriosis and pelvic pain, can be performed laparoscopically in minimally invasive fashion in order to reduce the risk of complications and shorten recovery time.
• Pelvic Pain
  “Musculoskeletal Factors in Chronic Pelvic Pain and Low Back Pain”. Program in Physical Therapy, University of Tennessee, Memphis, March 1990.
• Pregnancy
  On your first OB visit, as well as seeing your physician, you will be meeting with one of our most experienced OB clinicians. You will be given a packet of information which includes a book entitled, “Your Pregnancy and Childbirth”. The advice it contains is valuable; it is filled with OB educational information and guidelines for a healthy mom and healthy baby.
• Labor and Delivery
  Prior to her current role, Beth worked as a registered nurse for many years, six of which were on a labor and delivery unit. She is happiest reading, chasing her two boys, volunteering at her church and her children’s school, and spending time with family and friends – bonus points if that time is outdoors!  She feels her role as a wife and mother, combined with her nursing experience, affords a unique perspective on women’s care and is honored to share a part in women’s stories.

Endocrinologist

• Endocrinology

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Generations ObGyn goes beyond the typical ultrasound. Our offices are among the first in this area to offer three-dimensional (3D) / four-dimensional (4D) real-time ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound allows doctors to see the developing baby in the womb. It is especially useful when the doctor suspects a problem and needs to see specific, high-quality images of the fetus.

Surgeons

• General Surgery
  Dr. Hays is a native of Nashville, TN. He completed medical school at UT Health Science Center in Memphis, TN and then went on to complete his general surgery internship and Ob/Gyn residency training at UT Medical Center, here in Knoxville. After training, Dr. Hays, his wife, and their dog Sophie wanted to stay in Knoxville because of how wonderful this city and East TN are.
• Robotic Surgery
  Dr. Hays loves and appreciates the life-long relationships he is able to make with his patients. He wants every patient to feel safe and comfortable when they come to the office or the hospital, as health care can often be scary and overwhelming. Every physician-patient relationship should be built on mutual trust and respect to do what is best for the patient, every time. Dr. Hays has a full Ob/Gyn practice ranging from prenatal care and deliveries to all number of gynecologic surgeries. From residency training, he has a specific focus on minimally-invasive gynecologic surgeries and especially loves to operate using the Da Vinci robotic surgery platform.
• Hysterectomy
  Like many other physicians I enjoy surgery. Of course, it is equally important to know when not to operate, and I try to make sure my patients are completely aware of all treatment options available. Much of what we were trained to do surgically years ago has changed and we have had to develop new skills in order to advance the quality of care we can provide for patients. Surgery has become less “invasive”, which has benefited our patients with reduced postsurgical pain and shortened recovery time. Most of my patients who require hysterectomy now either undergo a vaginal hysterectomy or a laparoscopic hysterectomy, both of which avoid a large abdominal incision and a lengthier recovery.
• Endometrial Ablation
  Hysteroscopic Endometrial Ablation – Surgical procedure through vagina using a hysteroscope to visualize the uterine cavity, remove or biopsy any excess tissue, then use a heat technique to burn and destroy the endometrial lining. Sedation is required. Minerva is the procedure used in our office.

Plastic Surgeons

• Laparoscopic Surgery
  What I enjoy most about practicing obstetrics and gynecology is the relationships I develop with my patients. I feel that medical care is a partnership and that my patients should be involved in all aspects. My fields of interest include general obstetrical care, pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, laparoscopic surgery and menopausal care. Good health begins with preventive medical care and healthy living. Laughing a lot also helps. It is important for the patient to feel comfortable and confident with her physician, and I work hard at fostering that relationship. My goal is to provide the most quality medical care possible. I consider it a privilege to participate in your healthcare as your provider.
