- Emergency CareIf you are not a current patient or if 72 hours will pass between suspected impregnation and wen you can visit our office, we suggest obtaining a prescription from an urgent care center. If it has been more than 72 hours since suspected impregnation, schedule an appointment to speak with one of our physicians about further options and possible pregnancy evaluation.
- Colonoscopy*FOBT as it is sometimes done in doctors’ offices, with the single stool sample collected on a fingertip during a digital rectal examination, is not an adequate substitute for the recommended at-home procedure of collecting two samples from three consecutive specimens. Toilet bowl FOBT tests also are not recommended. In comparison with guaiac-based tests for the detection of occult blood, immunochemical tests are more patient-friendly, and are likely to be equal or better in sensitivity and specificity.

- Cervical CancerPap tests can detect precancerous changes in the cells of your cervix before they become cancer. They can also detect cervical cancer in its early stages, when it can be treated most easily. HPV infection causes most of the cervical cell changes that lead to cervical cancer. So getting regular Pap tests with or without HPV testing gives you a better chance of preventing cancer. Occasionally, Pap tests can also help detect some cancers of the uterus and other parts of the female reproductive system.

We can also answer any questions you may have, including options for contraception or hormone therapy if appropriate.
