Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Do you perform obstetric (pregnancy) care?
A: While we provide preconception counseling and manage general health issues during pregnancy, we typically refer women to specialized OB/GYN practices for direct obstetric care and delivery. We work closely with those specialists to coordinate your care.
Q: At what age should a woman start getting annual exams?
A: We recommend an initial women’s health consultation in the early teens, focusing on general health, menstrual education, and vaccine status. Pelvic exams and Pap tests usually begin at age 21, but screening schedules are always individualized based on guidelines and patient history.
Q: Can I discuss birth control or fertility planning with your providers?
A: Yes, we provide confidential counseling on various birth control methods (pills, patches, rings, injections) and can offer initial guidance and screening for couples considering starting a family.
