Services
Prenatal Care
Our comprehensive prenatal care program ensures optimal health for both mother and baby throughout pregnancy. Our OB/GYN specialists provide regular monitoring, ultrasound imaging, and personalized guidance for labor preparation. We offer evidence-based care for low-risk pregnancies with appropriate interventions for high-risk cases, including specialized testing and coordinated delivery planning.
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
We provide customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for menopausal and perimenopausal women. Our providers use advanced diagnostic testing to create individualized treatment plans using plant-derived hormones that mirror the body's natural chemistry. This approach effectively addresses symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness while prioritizing long-term health considerations.
Well Woman Exam
Our comprehensive annual wellness exams include preventive screenings, physical assessments, and personalized health counseling. These exams feature breast and pelvic exams, Pap smears, blood pressure monitoring, and lifestyle consultations covering nutrition, mental health, and disease prevention strategies tailored to each patient's medical history.
Urinary Incontinence
We offer specialized treatment for stress and mixed urinary incontinence through conservative management and advanced interventions. Our approach begins with lifestyle modifications and pelvic floor therapy, progressing to medication or minimally invasive procedures like mid-urethral slings when necessary. Treatment plans address underlying causes including childbirth effects and age-related changes.
STD Screening
Our confidential STD screening services include comprehensive testing for common sexually transmitted infections. We provide diagnostic evaluations for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and other STIs using modern laboratory techniques. Our providers offer risk assessment counseling and treatment planning while maintaining strict patient confidentiality and comfort.

Report
Im not sure if my experience wasnt as good simply because I am a Type 1 Diabetic but I really struggled with this place. I felt as though my concerns were rushed over or completely ignored. Any questions were answered really condescendingly. And no matter how often I told him that my diabetes was in EXTREMELY good control, he would make it seem as though I was doing a bad job. Its not necessary to talk about this when you dont have a lot of experience with it and I go to a very good endocrinologist. The nurses were good but overall I was disappointed and it made each appointment very
