Berkeley Medical Center opens minimally invasive gynecologic surgery clinic in Martinsburg

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. – Women facing complex gynecologic conditions now have expanded access to world-class surgical care in the Eastern Panhandle.

WVU Medicine Berkeley Medical Center has opened a new Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery clinic in Martinsburg offering the latest advances in the surgical management of wide variety of conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, menstrual disorders, ovarian cysts, and pelvic organ prolapse.

Jessica Hott, D.O., F.A.C.O.G., is a board-certified obstetrician gynecologist and executive surgeon leader in the field who has advanced training in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. She joined WVU Medicine in 2014.

In 2020, Dr. Hott performed the first robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy in the Eastern Panhandle using the da Vinci® Xi™ Surgical System. Since then, she has performed over 400 robotic assisted gynecologic surgical procedures. Hott has worked to expand minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, and the procedures offered at Berkeley Medical Center, including the excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis.

“Women’s health is my passion, and I believe minimally invasive surgery offers transformative benefits for patients,” Hott said. “These techniques allow me to provide high-quality care that not only addresses complex gynecologic issues but also improves patients’ quality of life by reducing recovery times and enhancing outcomes.”

Hott’s expertise is further underscored by her leadership role as a host site for a global case observation center for gynecologic robotic surgery. This designation reflects her commitment to staying at the forefront of surgical innovation and sharing best practices with colleagues worldwide.

In addition to offering the latest treatments, the practice emphasizes personalized care tailored to the unique needs of each patient.

“Every woman’s health journey is different,” Hott said. “Our team is dedicated to creating individualized care plans that provide compassionate support and exceptional outcomes.”

“We are passionate about advancing women’s health, especially in underserved areas where attention and resources are lacking. Addressing complex conditions, such as endometriosis, requires specialized care—yet the shortage of skilled surgeons and resources in this field is a critical issue. Our dedication to closing this gap underscores our mission to ensure that every woman receives the care, recognition, and expertise she deserves.”

WVU Medicine Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery is now accepting new patients at 880 N. Tennessee Ave., Suite 110 in Martinsburg. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 304-596-2149 option 3.
