👶🏻 Introducing our Baby of the Week: Leo! 👶🏻

Leo, a whopping 11lbs 6oz and 21 inches long, surprised everyone in the delivery room with his impressive size (we hear "moose" was a popular nickname). We loved caring for the child and mother, Jenna Handrich, of Lockport, NY throughout her pregnancy and Dr. Weselak is thrilled to welcome Leo to the world! 🐣

🤱🏻 Jenna shares, "Dr. Weselak was amazing throughout my pregnancy and especially the delivery. I can't thank her enough!"

Congratulations to the happy family! We wish you all the best in this exciting new chapter. ✨

How sweet is this little doll? 😍

Freya arrived in September with the help of Dr. Weselak! Her mom Melinda shared her exciting birth story:

"Freya was a breech c-section delivery that was scheduled for 9/12. But she had other plans, as I went into labor on 9/11. 3 hours later via emergency c-section, Dr. Wesalak saved the day & our little girl was born!"

As we always say, babies have their own agenda! 🙃

And it sounds like baby Freya is still keeping mom on her toes. Here's what she said:

"Freya is an extremely happy baby who loves getting into trouble. She has two teeth & is very close to crawling! So far her preferred mode of travel is army crawling, barrel rolling & walking all over the house in her walker."

Get ready, mom — things are about to get *really* wild in your house! 🤣

Thanks for sharing your sweet and feisty baby girl with us! It's the best part of our day! 💜

Knowledge is power. 💪 Take control of your health with regular cervical cancer screenings.

Cervical cancer is often preventable, and regular screenings are KEY to early detection and successful treatment.

Here's why:

👉 Screenings can find precancerous cells before they turn into cancer.
👉 HPV is a common cause. Vaccination and screenings offer a powerful defense.
👉 Treatment is most effective when cancer is caught early.

Don't wait — get your cervical cancer screening on the books! 🗓

Our Story

For years the practice has simply been known as Bartels, Powalski, and Weissman, MD. It wasn’t until the spring of 2020 that they decided to change the name to Empire OB/GYN.

Although the current practice began in 1985, the history of what exists started in 1962 when Doctors Powalski and Bartels’ fathers had started their own practices, of which were simply known as Robert J Powalski, MD PC, and John D. Bartels, MD PC. While some may have viewed them as competitors, they were actually great friends that lived next door to one another. As a result, Doctors Powalski and Bartels Jr have known each other their whole lives.

Upon completing his Residency Training in 1984 Dr. Edward Bartels joined his father’s practice. Shortly after that, Dr. Powalski Sr. suddenly became ill, and unfortunately passed away in 1985. At that time, Dr. Powalski Jr was still in Residency Training. Because of their great friendship, Doctors Bartels (father and son) covered Dr. Powalski Sr. 's practice, until Dr. Powalski Jr graduated from Residency in 1987. At that time, they merged the two practices together. A few years later, they were joined by Dr. Mark Weissman, and have since grown to seven providers, with two locations; one in Kenmore, and one in Depew.

In addition to adding skilled OB/GYN physicians, over the years the practice has expanded in size and scope. Beyond pregnancy-and-childbirth related procedures, the practice’s capabilities for gynecologic procedures have surpassed traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy to include the use of robotic surgical equipment that interfaces with the surgeons and offers patients a vastly improved experience. While the practice may have changed in size and technology over the years, there is one thing that hasn’t changed since 1962: the practice has maintained the commitment to providing patients with the highest level of quality healthcare.
