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. 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.
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.
Urogynecology - These are issues related to the pelvic floor and bladder. This includes
overactive bladders, weak pelvic muscles, reproductive issues, and bladder
or rectal incontinence (the loss of control when going to the bathroom).
Urogynecologists perform evaluations, diagnose and treat patients.
