Gynecology and preventive health care

When you choose your OB-GYN, you get an entire care team that’s connected and understands you. From preventive gynecologic and pelvic health care to care during pregnancy, your doctor works with you to create a care plan that’s right for you. OB-GYNs help diagnose and treat many women’s health conditions including:

  • Irregular periods and pelvic pain
  • Perimenopause and menopause symptoms
  • Sexual health concerns
  • Uterine fibroids and endometriosis
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and gynecologic infections

Your OB-GYN may also collaborate with other specialists supporting your primary care, heart care, pediatric care if you have a child, and more throughout your lifetime. OB-GYNs help you understand risk factors and provide or connect you to screenings for early detection of breast and gynecologic cancers. By working together, your care team delivers ongoing care and treatment options for your specific needs. 

Gynecologic surgery 

If surgery is something you are considering or is recommended as part of your care plan, your doctor will talk through options and risks. Some gynecologists perform gynecologic surgery. Gynecologic surgery is a treatment option for many conditions affecting the uterus, ovaries, cervix, fallopian tubes and vagina. Whenever possible, your surgeon will recommend minimally-invasive techniques and robotic surgery. Compared with traditional surgery, minimally invasive techniques may mean smaller incisions, less pain, a lower risk of complications and help shorten your recovery. If your surgery may impact your ability to have children, such as if hysterectomy is recommended as part of your care, you and your doctor will discuss all of your options and what they mean for you. Together we'll develop a care plan that is right for you. 

Maternity care for you and your baby

Your OB-GYN provides fertility evaluations, family planning consultations, pregnancy testing and prenatal care based on your needs. And your care team is here to answer your questions and support you at every step, through labor, delivery and beyond. By understanding your preferences and working with you, our goal is to help create a memorable birth experience for you and your family. Maternity care and services include:

Not every mom-to-be needs more advanced care during pregnancy, but if your pregnancy is high risk, experienced specialists and care teams collaborate to deliver the right care for you at the right time. This includes maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialists and other doctors with advanced training to care for complex pregnancies. With onsite services, such as neonatal intensive care units (NICU), we are ready for anything.
