  • This is optional for all patients and can be done without an annual exam if needed.

Teens

  • It is different for every patient. Many patients have their first gynecology visit after they have had their first menstrual cycle. Our providers can cover topics such as heavy, irregular or painful periods and can educate on feminine hygiene, birth control for those in need, STIs. Our clinical team is happy to be a resource for our teenage patients to discuss many sensitive subjects.

  • Unless the patient is having specific problems, a pelvic exam is often not required for teenage patients.

Pregnancy

  • Your first OB visit is based off of the first day of your last cycle. We begin OB care at or around 8 weeks gestation. If you have any questions about when to come in, please give our scheduling department a call.
