- Annual exams, including PAP smears or other testing to ensure you are healthy
- Consultations on birth control, including a discussion of which options might work well for you and procedures such as IUD insertions or removals
- Gynecological exams if you are experiencing any abnormal symptoms or issues

- Prenatal health care to monitor the health of both you and your developing baby during pregnancy
Our entire medical team is dedicated to serving you and listening to your concerns. We understand that no two patients are alike and therefore, the option that is best for one patient is not the right treatment for another. We take the time to discuss all your options for diagnosis and treatment when the need arises and are happy to answer all your questions.
