Frequently Asked Questions
Our obstetrician-gynecologists (ob-gyns) are experts in women’s health encompassing sexual and reproductive health, pregnancy and childbirth. Your ob-gyn will provide routine medical services, including sexual education, preventive screenings, treatment for your reproductive health needs, maternity care, postpartum care and pelvic health.
Regular visits to your ob-gyn can help you stay informed about your reproductive health, preventive care and more. A typical appointment starts with a health check, physical exam and a conversation about your medical history. From there, your ob-gyn will tailor his or her care guidelines to your needs, such as coming in for pregnancy-related care versus pelvic healthcare or menopausal care.
