Services We Offer
Our services encompass everything from routine checkups, preventative care,
surgery, and emergency services. We treat women of all ages.
Services overview:
Obstetrics – 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 health
plan. We offer Pap smears, birth control, surgery, abnormal period treatment
and menopause services. Your needs and desires are carefully listened to.
4-D Ultrasounds – We utilize a state-of-the-art 4-D gynecological ultrasound device
to provide clear pictures of a developing child. There are advanced forms
of ultrasounds allow parents to see what their baby looks like before
it is born.
Bone density testing – Start treating osteoporosis before an injury occurs. 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.
Hydro-thermal ablation (HTA) – Excessive uterine bleeding effects more than 2.5 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 includes
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.
