Services We Offer
Our services encompass everything from routine checkups and preventive care to surgery and emergency services. We treat women of all ages.
Overview of women’s health services:
- Obstetrics – It’s important to receive excellent prenatal care from doctors you trust during your pregnancy. Obstetrics covers everything from child rearing classes, labor and delivery, postpartum education and more to make your birthing experience easier.
- Gynecology – Regular gynecological exams are an important part of your healthcare. We offer Pap smears, birth control, surgery, abnormal period treatment and menopause services. Your needs and desires are carefully listened to.
- 4D ultrasound – We utilize a state-of-the-art 4D gynecological ultrasound device to provide clear pictures of a developing child. This advanced form of ultrasound allows parents to see what their baby looks like before it is born.
- Bone density testing – A bone density test is used to diagnose osteoporosis, a disease in which bones become weak and brittle. There are rarely early symptoms of osteoporosis, so you may want to schedule bone density tests every few years to ensure you have not developed the disease, and treat osteoporosis before an injury occurs.
- Hydrothermal ablation (HTA) – Excessive uterine bleeding affects more than 10 million women every year. HTA is a minimally invasive, long-term treatment for abnormal periods. This treatment can completely prevent periods for some women, and significantly reduce bleeding for others.
- Birth control – We educate patients on various forms of birth control and help them find the method that best meets their needs. Our birth control services include everything from condoms and diaphragms to more long-term methods like intrauterine devices (IUDs) and sterilization.
- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) – Menopause causes a major shift in a woman’s hormones, which can be difficult and painful to adjust to. We help to remedy the side effects of menopause with medication and medical techniques designed to improve quality of life.
