Obstetric Services
Our comprehensive obstetric care supports women through every stage of pregnancy, from initial confirmation to postpartum follow-up. We provide routine prenatal screenings, ultrasound imaging, and specialized care for high-risk pregnancies. Our services include first trimester dating ultrasounds, second trimester anatomy scans, and third trimester monitoring to ensure optimal maternal and fetal health outcomes.
Gynecologic Care
We offer complete gynecological care for women of all ages, including annual exams, pap smears, and management of menstrual disorders. Our services address reproductive health concerns, menopause management, and preventive screenings for cervical and breast cancer. We specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions like ovarian cysts, fibroids, and sexually transmitted infections through both medical and surgical interventions.
Birth Control Options
Our practice provides comprehensive family planning services with multiple birth control options tailored to individual needs. We offer counseling on contraceptive methods including oral pills, intrauterine devices (IUDs), implants, and injectables. Our providers help patients select the most appropriate method based on medical history, lifestyle, and reproductive goals while ensuring proper insertion and follow-up care.
Ultrasound
We utilize advanced ultrasound technology for both diagnostic and prenatal imaging needs. Our 3D ultrasound capabilities allow detailed visualization of fetal development and uterine abnormalities. These imaging services help detect potential complications early, guide treatment decisions, and provide expectant parents with their first views of developing babies while ensuring accurate gestational age determination.
Pap Smear
Regular pap smear screenings are essential for early detection of cervical cancer and precancerous changes. Our practice follows current guidelines for screening frequency based on age and risk factors. We combine pap tests with HPV testing when appropriate to enhance detection accuracy, providing timely follow-up and treatment for abnormal results while maintaining patient comfort and confidentiality.

I dont understand why doctors overbook the appointment times. Waiting for an hour to be seen is unreasonable, but if I miss my scheduled appointment they will charge me $25. Consider my time also.

If I could give this practice a 0 I would! Me being a new mother I knew little to nothing about anything. I would ask the doctor why was this test necessary her answer your baby needs it no further explanation. She did membrane sweeps without informing me before. She broke my water without any warning. Told me she was doing a cervical check and my boyfriend watched her sneak the rod out of her pocket and put the rod inside me. Obviously I was in extreme pain knowing this was way more than a cervical check! I told her multiple times to stop and she told me dont move! Once it was done she

I was nervous at first because I didnt get to meet my doctor, but the nurse that works there was very helpful and understanding as well, I seen my doctor until I got to maybe 5 months I believe, but overall I had a good experience. My doctor was very understanding and she listened to all my questions I had. I had a C-section and Dr.Anyako made sure I was as comfortable as possible. The staff was friendly, I Very much recommend!

Doctor had great bedside manor. The place overall was a bit old and can use a clean and some updating. But that doesn't make me think twice about the level of care. I got blood and urine work done and an ultra sound scheduled for a few days after my original appointment overall good experience.

If you care about your well being find another doctor, I ignored the red flags I got. From having to call the mammogram ppl myself on three way after three weeks of waiting for front office to schedule a mammogram. To the doctor acting like my abnormal bleeding for 4 months was no big deal, and taking months to schedule my out patient surgery. So I Got a new doctor, who has given me an exam scheduled ultrasounds and done the out patient surgery all in less than 60 days. The bad news is the abnormal bleeding was cancer. So basically if I stayed waiting for this doctor to care about my health
