Gynecology
Breast exams
Regular breast exams are important for early detection of breast cancer. We also offer referrals for mammograms.
Pap smears
A pap smear is a simple test to screen for cervical cancer. A swap of your cervix during a gynecological exam can be tested for precancerous or cancerous cells.
Screening for cervical cancer
In addition to pap smears, we can screen for human papillomavirus (HPV) which may be a precursor to cervical cancer.
Testing for Sexually Transmitted Infections
We offer testing for a full range of sexually transmitted diseases and infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis, herpes, HIV, and syphilis.
Urinary tract infections
It is important to get medical care for a urinary tract infection in order to prevent a more serious bladder or kidney infection. Symptoms such as burning during urination, frequent urination, and pelvic pain can be treated.
Obstetrics, prenatal care, childbirth, and family planning
Welcoming a baby into the world is one of life’s greatest experiences. We are excited to support you through your pregnancy journey and be your partner during the months leading up to your delivery day. We work in collaboration with select local hospitals to coordinate care during your pregnancy and delivery experience. Our physicians can provide care through your entire pregnancy, including delivery and postpartum care. Our pediatric team will provide a smooth transition for the care of your newborn through all stages of their adolescence.
Free pregnancy testing
We offer free pregnancy testing in a safe environment where you can get answers to your reproductive health questions and get connected to care if needed.
Gestational Diabetes Management
Women who have never had diabetes can sometimes develop it during pregnancy, which is called gestational diabetes. This condition affects up to 10% of pregnancies and while it typically goes away after giving birth, about half of gestational diabetes patients will then develop Type 2 later on.1 Our team of specialists will ensure you get the care you need to manage gestational diabetes and they can also provide resources to prevent future diabetes complications.
Gestational Hypertension Management
When a pregnant patient develops high blood pressure it is called gestational hypertension. High blood pressure can lead to a serious condition called preeclampsia, which can cause complications during pregnancy and during and after childbirth. We can provide expert care to manage high blood pressure during pregnancy.
M.A.T. Treatment Services
Our team is committed to integrative care for physical, mental, and behavioral health. We offer medication assisted treatment (M.A.T.) for expectant mothers with substance abuse disorders.
Well-woman exams
We are here for you whenever you experience symptoms, have a health concern, or are seeking obstetric care, but it is also important to take care of yourself when you are feeling well! A well-woman exam is recommended once a year for screening, prevention, and to keep you connected to care.2
