What Is Gynecology?

Gynecology focuses on the health of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina—as well as breast health and hormonal wellness. Our gynecologists are highly trained in diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions, offering both preventative care and advanced medical solutions.

Many of our providers are also OB-GYNs, meaning they specialize in both gynecology and obstetrics (pregnancy and childbirth care), ensuring continuity of care through all stages of a woman’s life.

When Should You See a Gynecologist?

An annual visit to your gynecologist is a crucial part of maintaining your overall health. You should also schedule an appointment if you experience any of the following:

• Breast changes (lumps, nipple discharge)
• Difficulty getting pregnant (infertility)
• Growths, sores, or lumps in the pubic area
• Irregular vaginal bleeding or discharge
• Known or suspected STI exposure
• Pain during sex or sexual dysfunction
• Painful periods
• Pelvic pain or pelvic floor dysfunction
• Vaginal itching or changes in odor

Additionally, consult with a gynecologist if you are:

• Thinking about becoming pregnant
• Seeking guidance through menopause
• Considering starting, stopping, or changing birth control methods

Comprehensive Gynecology Care for Every Stage

As your body changes, our compassionate team is here with the expert guidance and care you deserve. Our services also include personalized family planning and contraception counseling, effective non-surgical treatments for common vaginal concerns, and advanced surgical care for conditions like endometriosis and fibroids. We offer menopause symptom management, along with sensitive, inclusive sexual health services. Many diagnostic and treatment procedures are performed conveniently in-office, making it easier for you to receive timely, thorough care.
