Prevention-focused women’s health care

We want you to lead a full, healthy life. That starts by preventing illness whenever we can. Our OB-GYNs offer:

Pelvic exams and Pap smear tests: Your OB-GYN clinician does pelvic exams and Pap tests to screen for abnormalities including cancer or sexually transmitted diseases.
Imaging services: Ultrasounds for high and low risk pregnancy and gynecologic symptoms and conditions. Our ultrasound program is fully accredited by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM).

Breast health:

Mammogram screening: Mammograms are safe, low-dose X-rays used to detect breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stage.
Care for osteoporosis and osteopenia:
Bone density screening: Bone density screening can help evaluate your risk for broken bones or osteoporosis.
