Our physicians provide personalized health education and coordinate diagnostic services in one convenient location to help women maintain optimal wellness through all life stages.

We provide advanced 3D mammography for early breast cancer detection. This technology offers higher accuracy than traditional mammograms, especially for women with dense breast tissue. Our Smart-Curve system ensures comfort while delivering detailed imaging with reduced radiation exposure. Regular screenings help detect abnormalities up to three years before physical symptoms appear.

Benefits include less pain, faster recovery, and reduced scarring compared to traditional surgery.

Dr Hall-Minnie is the best doctor Ive ever had! Shes so kind, explains everything, answers every question, and makes me feel very safe. Ive havent had the greatest experiences at other places - but I will be going here as long as I can see Dr. Hall-Minnie!

I went to Dr. Favor to get an IUD, I had to wait for two hours past my appointment time. When Dr. Favor came in she did not apologize and also she barely even looked at me or spoke to me. I LOOOOOVE Dr. Favors nurse Melissa, she is an absolute dream and completely made me feel so much better about this visit. However, due to Dr. Favors bedside manner I will not be returning. This is really sad to me because I thought I had found my forever OB/GYN spot when I spoke to Melissa on the phone. Please give patients the time of day and allow us an actual second to ask a question! My anxiety went

Everyone here treats patients the way they would want to be treated! My doctor, the nurses, and office staff. They also respect your appointment time. And they are just nice! Best place to get a mammogram. Their machine makes it more comfortable. I have been a patient for 30 years. Dr. Favor is so thorough in evaluating a problem I might mention. As I am getting older, she has at least twice found a problem that could easily have been overlooked. Both of these times, she followed up until she was sure everything was ok. I believe I have good health today, thanks to her good care.

If you want a doctor who is compassionate, knowledgeable, and overall one of the best (or best) at the OBGYN profession, then Dr. Favor is your doctor. Dr. Favor will work with you, listen, and genuinely care about your well-being. There is no question she won't answer (Trust me, I asked them all.) and no concern she won't take seriously. I am forever grateful for her care and professionalism during my pregnancy and delivery. Even though my body gave some issues, Dr. Favor knew exactly what to do and I trusted her completely. Because of that trust in her wisdom, my son was born at 36 weeks and

I did not have the best labor/birthing experience. Nothing went the way I had hoped. The hospital itself is amazing. I loved my postpartum experience.
Dr. Favor was my OB. Really had faith in her. I explained I didnt want to do PITOCIN. And I did NOT want a cesarean. I got both . A part of me feels like it ended up that way so that she could get more money out of me. Always remember that if you DO NOT want to do it, you can ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS say no. You have that option. Thats one thing I didnt know.
