Women's care services
Our women's care specialists provide a variety of services and treatments to address numerous concerns around women's health.
Well women's exams
A well women's exam is a diagnostic tool that helps doctors determine overall health and check for common women's health conditions. During a well women's exam, doctors will conduct the following:
- Breast health exam—Including a visual breast examination and breast palpitation
- Pelvic exam—Including internal and external examination of the female reproductive system
- Pap smear—A screening test for any abnormalities of the vagina
As a general rule, it is recommended women receive a well women's exam each year.
Breast health services
As breast cancer is a common concern among women, our specialists offer a variety of breast screenings and services to ensure breast health. Advanced imaging options, such as mammography and breast ultrasounds, help doctors detect breast cancer early to increase patient outcomes.
Cardiac care for women
Cardiovascular disease is the leading killer of women, leading to one in three deaths each year. That’s approximately one woman every 80 seconds. But there’s hope. The American Heart Association estimates that “80 percent of cardiac and stroke events may be prevented with education and action." At Appledore Medical Group, we offer heart care services specifically for women, with providers focused on women’s unique cardiovascular health needs.
Gynecology
Our expert gynecologists offer a variety of services, such as pap smears and routine exams, to diagnose and treat women's health conditions. Our gynecology team is committed to providing comprehensive, high-level care for gynecologic health issues, including menstrual disorders and sexually transmitted diseases.
Menopause management
During menopause, the ovaries stop producing hormones, which leads to a stop in menstruation for women. Menopause can lead to a variety of symptoms that can cause discomfort for women, including hot flashes, trouble sleeping and mood swings. Our women's care team will help you navigate menopause and ensure all of your questions are answered.
Comprehensive maternity care
Our team works to ensure we provide a continuity of care when it comes to pregnancy—this includes prenatal care, labor and delivery and postpartum care. Our goal is that both mother and child have the best possible start on their new journey.
Our office provides access to both OB/GYNs to help guide your pregnancy experience.
Prenatal care
Whether you're having your first child or are adding to a growing family, our team of prenatal care experts are here to support you every step of the way. We offer pregnancy support, routine checkups, childbirth education classes and more, to ensure expectant mothers feel prepared for giving birth.
Labor and delivery
Our OB/GYNs and midwives will work with you to create a plan for labor and delivery that suits your individual needs. We understand this day is incredibly important and want to provide you with as many options as possible.
Postpartum care
We believe that pregnancy care shouldn't stop after labor and delivery. That's why we offer postpartum care services to ensure the well-being of the infant and mother. Our services include regular check-ups, infant care education and additional continued support.
Natural Family Planning
At the Women’s Wellness & Fertility Center, we understand that natural fertility management and restorative reproductive care is a lifestyle choice — and we support your decision to handle your health in this way! We also know that there are scientifically proven methods to manage fertility while avoiding the use of artificial chemicals and devices.
Our providers seek to maintain human ecology and sustain the procreative potential of your body. The care you receive with us is free of artificial contraception, its risks and side effects. You — not just your symptoms — will be treated with your long-term overall wellness in mind.
Not Just Family Planning
Many women have discovered the benefits of tracking their cycles to better advocate for their own gynecologic care. Women with conditions such as ovarian cysts, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), abnormal bleeding and infertility, to name a few, may receive enhanced treatment because of the information they are trained to track about their own cycles. Physicians are able to use this information to better schedule tests and procedures.
Women’s Wellness & Fertility Center offers expanded access to care via telehealth (also called telemedicine), a remote delivery of health care services or information. These appointments allow your provider to monitor symptom progression and modify treatment plans. Providers will consult with patients via voice and video in real time.
- Existing patients: For appointments that do not require a physical examination, a telehealth visit may be appropriate for obstetrics and gynecologic follow-up care.
- For new patients: We continue to accept new patients and will work with you to decide what appointment type is appropriate for your individual needs.
