A gynecologic visit focuses on your reproductive organs and your physical health. Your doctor will ask questions about your health and your family's health. We know that your first gynecology visit can be intimidating and we want you to be as comfortable as possible. We encourage you to ask questions if there is information that you do not understand. Your physician may ask questions about your health that may seem personal or private. It is very important to be open and honest with your physician. The information you provide will help your physician to keep you healthy and know how best to care your individual needs. During your gynecological visit, you will have a general physical exam. We will check your weight, height, and blood pressure. We will also ask you questions about your health history and whether you have any special concerns. This visit may also include the following:
Based on the results and findings of your first exam, your physician may make recommendations for any appropriate follow-up care. We deliver our patients at Seton Medical Center on 38th Street. Our physicians would like to deliver all of their own patients and in most cases, they do. However, evening and weekend call is shared among the physicians so that one of the providers is available at all times for our patients. After-hours emergencies are handled by one of our physicians and our nurse on-call. You can expect consistent, uncompromised care from each of our physicians. Our goal is a healthy mother, a healthy baby, and making your delivery the kind of experience you want. Women Partners In Health also offers comprehensive childbirth, baby care, breastfeeding and early pregnancy classes. For more information, please see our "Classes" section.
