Meet Dr. Pattamakom
Dr. Srisawai Pattamakom is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist who welcomes the women of Ventura, California and its surrounding communities to experience 21st-century healthcare at Ideal Women’s Health Specialists. Well-known for her upbeat and positive attitude, Dr. Pattamakom is committed to providing her patients with the most technologically advanced and effective medical treatment available, and she delivers it with warmth and compassion.
She obtained her medical degree from Chicago’s Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. She completed her internship and residency programs at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose, California.
Dr. Pattamakom specializes in general obstetrics and gynecologic care and is an expert in both low and high-risk pregnancies. She has 20+ years’ experience of providing highly-skilled treatment for conditions unique to women, including heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, urinary leakage, pelvic prolapse, and female infertility. For her patients’ convenience, she also does ultrasounds in-house.
This gifted specialist is also a talented surgeon with considerable expertise at da Vinci robotic-assisted surgical treatments for gynecologic issues such as endometriosis and uterine fibroids. When nonsurgical remedies don’t help, the da Vinci system gives Dr. Pattamakom the option of providing her patients precise, minimally invasive and often uterine-sparing therapies that typically heal faster and carry fewer risks than traditional surgery.
Her latest endeavor is in noninvasive treatments of urinary incontinence, menopausal pelvic issues, skin laxity and hormone depletion to bring back vim and vigor to one’s health.
Dr. Pattamakom and her staff are committed to passing along the many health benefits of advanced medical technology to their patients. They’re just as passionate about providing the personalized, patient-focused care that’s often missing in modern medicine these days.
Also known as Dr. Sis, she greatly enjoys her professional and personal life in the Ventura area. She very much appreciates the climate and the diverse, down-to-earth population. Dr. Sis spends her free time taking long walks, working out with Pilates or hot yoga, and reading.
