Annual well-woman exam
Annual well-woman exams are an important part of your health. During this annual check-up, our providers listen to your concerns, discuss your health history, and conduct comprehensive tests in order to give you the information you need to make the best decisions for your health. The exam and screenings may include:
- Breast exam
- Mammogram
- Pap smear
- Pelvic exam
- Ultrasound
- Diagnostic screenings
Gynecology/pelvic health
Our multidisciplinary team works with you to understand how pelvic issues are affecting you medically and emotionally. We provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment of pelvic pain that may be caused by fibroids, endometriosis, or organ prolapse. We also evaluate and treat incontinence disorders. Interventions may include physical therapy, pelvic ultrasounds and surgery, as well as an educational and fitness-oriented pelvic health program.
Breast health
Mammography is a low-dose X-ray of the breasts used to detect cancer or other problems before a lump becomes large enough to be felt. The National Cancer Institute recommends women over 40 have a screening mammogram every one to two years; the American Cancer Society recommends a mammogram for women over 40 every year.
Our FDA-certified center offers advanced digital mammography equipment for screening mammograms. Digital mammography provides a detailed electronic picture of the breast and can detect early and highly curable cancers too small to be felt.
Bone health
A bone density scan measures how much calcium and other types of minerals are in your bones. This imaging test uses low-dose X-rays to measure the density of the bones. This painless, noninvasive test will tell us about the strength of your bones. There is no cure for osteoporosis, but knowing you have it is important for slowing its progression and preventing injuries.
Good nutrition
Registered dietitians provide nutrition counseling for individuals with specific medical needs as well as those who wish to maintain optimal health. Our approach integrates nutrition counseling with your overall health maintenance program. All nutrition counseling requires a physician referral.
