Women's Health

Women's health visits are part of family medicine. Breast exams, pap smears, and pregnancy testing can happen during a regular visit. If you need obstetric care, we refer.

• Breast exams and pap smears

  A breast exam and a pap smear are screening visits. A breast exam is a check of the breasts during a regular appointment. A pap smear is a test that looks for cell changes on the cervix.

  These can happen during a family medicine visit. You do not need a separate women's clinic for this care.

  How often you need screening depends on your age and health history. Your healthcare provider will tell you what is due and will work with you on what is best for your care.

• Pregnancy testing

  Pregnancy testing is done at the clinic. You can walk in or call if you need a test.

  Your healthcare provider will go over the result with you and talk through next steps.

• Obstetrics referral

  If you need obstetric care, such as prenatal visits or delivery, we refer you. Family medicine here does not take the place of an obstetrician.

  Your healthcare provider will work with you on the referral and on what is best for your care.
