GYN/Annual Visit
How far in advance should I schedule my annual appointment?
Please call to schedule your annual appointment 6-8 weeks prior to the date you are due to return for your yearly visit.
What should I expect during my annual exam?
Your yearly exam is a preventive visit during which your provider will conduct a general physical exam. This includes a breast exam, pelvic exam, and a pap smear if needed. This is also an opportunity for you to update any changes to your personal history, family health history, and current medications. Your physician will evaluate the need for any health screening tests or immunizations based upon your age and history. This is also the time to request medication refills.
Please keep in mind that the annual exam does not include the discussion of ongoing chronic conditions or new concerns. You must schedule a separate appointment problem visits.
Are STD tests performed during the annual visit?
STD testing is not included in the annual exam but can be performed at your request. You will be asked to complete the optional STD information and consent form. This form also lists the cost of each test and the CPT codes so that you may check your insurance benefits prior to screening.
How will I be informed of my test results?
If your results are normal you will not get a phone call, but you will receive a card in the mail reporting your normal result.
If your results are abnormal you will receive a phone call from the physician or Medical Assistant.
OB Visit
When should I schedule my initial OB Visit?
It is best to schedule your pregnancy initiation between 2 to 4 weeks after your missed period.
Will I have an ultrasound at my initial visit?
Typically your pregnancy initiation appointment does not include an ultrasound. However, it is at the discretion of the physician to recommend an ultrasound at that time.
How many people can I bring with me to for my ultrasounds?
There is not a specific limit to how many people may be in the ultrasound room. However, please consider that our ultrasound rooms are not very large. Our Sonographers need to be able to easily access the equipment and efficiently scan the patient.
Do you accept OB patients transferring from another practice?
Yes, we do. If you have already received obstetric care but are interested in transferring to our practice, please call our office and request to talk to our OB office regarding transfer. A brief history will be taken over the phone and you will be required to fax your medical records for physician review. Once the records are received and insurance benefits are verified, a member of our staff will contact you with the physician's decision.
Do you have midwives?
No, we do not have midwives.
Do you offer prenatal classes?
Educational classes for OB patients are available at all of our hospital affiliates:
