Our services

Whether you are just becoming sexually active, pregnant, going through menopause or facing health issues associated with aging, our Women’s Wellness program provides education, consultations and age-appropriate screenings delivered with sensitivity and warmth.

During your regular checkup, we'll will review your health history and current health status. We make it comfortable and safe to discuss any physical or emotional issue you may be having so that small problems don’t grow into bigger ones.

Age-appropriate health screenings

We recommend the following tests based on your age. We do most tests in our office but will provide referrals for lab work, your colonoscopy, mammogram and bone density test. If we detect a health issue, we will refer you to the appropriate specialist, including OBGYNs, for further care.
