- Primary CareIf your insurance plan requires a referral, it is your responsibility to request the referral from your primary care physician to be sent to our office. Failure to obtain a referral when required can result in reduced benefits or non-payment by your insurance company, making you responsible for full payment of the visit.
- Family PracticeYou will also have some routine tests. Some tests are suggested for all women, such as blood work to check for anemia, blood type, HIV, and other factors.

- Urinary IncontinenceWomen must have access to safe and effective treatments for urinary incontinence. With the right support, information, and resources, women can manage their symptoms and lead healthier and more satisfying lives.
- ImmunizationsGetting a gynecological exam (GYN exam) is one of the best things women can do, whether straight, bisexual, lesbian, single, married, sexually active, or not. A GYN exam provides a health overview for a woman, and it may include a breast exam, vaccinations, taking your medical history, tests for STDs and STIs, a pelvic exam, and a Pap test. A pelvic exam allows a doctor or nurse to check the position and size of your pelvic organs–the vagina, uterus, cervix, and ovaries. A Pap test is one of the best tools to find hidden, small tumors that may lead to cervical cancer.

- Endometriosis(en-doe-me-tree-O-sis) is a disorder in which the endometrium, the tissue that lines the inside of your uterus, grows outside your uterus where it does not belong. Endometriosis most commonly grows in the area of your ovaries, bowel, or the tissue lining your pelvic region. In rare cases, endometrial tissue may grow beyond your pelvic area. The displaced endometrial tissue acts as it normally would within the uterus. It will thicken, break down and bleed with each menstrual cycle. With no way to exit your body, this displaced tissue becomes trapped. Over time, the surrounding tissue can become irritated and develop scar tissue and adhesions.
- Pelvic Pain
- PregnancyAs a high-risk pregnancy can pose challenges before, during, or after delivery, you and your baby will need special monitoring or care throughout your pregnancy.
- Labor and DeliveryPelvic floor disorders occur when the pelvic floor is weakened because of childbirth, obesity, surgery, disease, or repetitive heavy lifting. Many women experience incontinence and pelvic pain due to pelvic floor disorders. Women may also experience difficulty emptying the bladder or bowels and pelvic organs—the dropping of pelvic organs from their normal position.
- Cervical CancerThe exam often includes a Pap test, the best way to detect cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is very curable when found early. It’s simple, not painful, and usually takes only five minutes. Most health insurance plans cover Pap tests or cervical cancer screening at no cost to the patient.

- UltrasoundUltrasounds have become a valuable, regular part of prenatal care, and all women should receive more than one ultrasound during pregnancy. A prenatal ultrasound test uses a small amount of gel on your abdomen and a device (called a transducer) to emit high-frequency sound waves into your abdomen. The echoes are recorded and transformed into video or photographic images of your baby and your placenta, ovaries, and amniotic sac.
- Mammography
- HysterectomyMost doctors recommend you continue to have GYN exams and Pap tests after a total hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and cervix).Â
- Endometrial Ablation
- LaparoscopySometimes, a physical exam alone cannot find the problems that can occur with a woman’s reproductive organs. When that is the case, issues can be discovered by laparoscopy or hysteroscopy. These two procedures provide a direct look at the pelvic organs providing a way to diagnose and treat reproductive issues in women.
- Laparoscopic SurgeryBefore the advent of laparoscopic surgery, diagnosing and treating gynecological problems required major surgery, including many days of hospitalization, long recovery times, and greater risks. However, laparoscopy allows the correction of these problems on an outpatient basis. The laparoscopy procedure decreases patient discomfort, significantly reduces recovery time and has minimal risks.

- Physical TherapyFortunately, there are several treatment options available to help manage urinary incontinence. These treatments range from lifestyle changes to medications and even surgery. Lifestyle modifications such as avoiding bladder irritants like caffeine or alcohol, doing Kegel exercises, or doing bladder training can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and reduce incontinence. Medications like anticholinergics may be prescribed to suppress muscle contractions in the bladder. Physical therapy can also help support strengthening the pelvic floor. If these methods don’t improve symptoms, surgical options can be explored.
