GYN/Annual Visit
Please call to schedule your annual appointment 6-8 weeks prior to the date you are due to return for your yearly visit.
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.
STD testing is not included in the annual exam but can be performed at your request.
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
It is best to schedule your pregnancy initiation between 2 to 4 weeks after your missed period.
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.
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.
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.
No, we do not have midwives.
Educational classes for OB patients are available at all of our hospital affiliates:
- Baptist Hospital

Insurance & Billing
We accept many different insurance carriers. Please visit our Billing & Insurance page to view the list.
It is your responsibility to ensure that we have valid insurance information on file for you. You must present your insurance card at check-in for each visit. We may ask you to reschedule your appointment, or pay cash for services provided, if you are unable to present your insurance card upon check-in.
If you do not have health insurance, or are unable to produce the appropriate documentation to verify coverage, you will be a "self-pay" patient.
Payment is required upon check-in. Charges will be determined based upon customary coding and billing practices and will reflect the nature of your visit and the services received. You will receive an additional bill from a separate lab facility for any lab work that is performed.
Payment of the patient responsibility portion of your visit is due at the time of service including all applicable co-payments. For your convenience, we accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and Care Credit. All returned checks are subject to a $35 handling fee.
