Obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) services are available through Salinas
Valley Memorial Healthcare System from a team of experienced, board-certified
OB/GYN doctors. Our facility’s doors are open to all people in Monterey
County and nearby areas in need of women’s health services. The
safety and comfort of our patients are of the utmost importance, and the
women’s health department is housed with advanced technology, well-trained
medical professionals, and numerous resources to provide the best care possible.
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.
