An experienced obstetrician based in Plano, TX, Dr. Keith Reisler has been serving patients through his own practice for three decades. In addition to his everyday clinical work, Keith Reisler, MD, is recognized for his expertise as a fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG).

In September 2018, ACOG announced a new partnership with Abt Associates to jointly develop programs to eliminate cervical cancer, particularly in lower and middle-income countries. The move comes as the World Health Organization has put a global focus on fighting the disease in the coming years. In higher income countries, the HPV vaccine has been an effective tool in preventing cervical cancer. Through their partnership, ACOG and Abt will work with medical staff and other key stakeholders in countries across the world to train them on how to administer the vaccine, as well as other practices and resources available to prevent and treat cervical cancer in their populations.
