Family Planning and Contraception

New choices in birth control provide women with more options than ever before in deciding when and how to expand their families. Schedule an appointment with one of our physicians to discuss the various birth control methods available to you. We can help you determine if short-term hormonal birth control, long-term birth control methods, or permanent sterilization are right for you. Our office offers many contraceptive options, including Implanon implants, IUDs, and Essure permanent sterilization.

Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception is a safe and effective means of preventing an unwanted pregnancy in the event of unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure.

Pregnancy Termination and Abortion Services

Our practitioners have consistently fought for a woman’s right to choose her own destiny. Women of all ages feel very comfortable in their care and find them to be very compassionate. If you find yourself faced with the difficult decision to terminate a pregnancy, you can trust our office to make the procedure as physically and emotionally comfortable as possible. Learn more about abortion and the services we offer.

Obstetrical Care

Center for Women’s Health offers comprehensive obstetrical care to ensure the health and well-being of both you and your child through your pregnancy and postpartum period. Our personalized prenatal and post-natal care encompasses preconceptual counseling, ultrasonography (“sonograms”), high-risk pregnancy counseling and services, and up-to-date testing throughout your pregnancy and delivery.

Menopausal Solutions

Our physicians have extensive experience in helping women face the challenges that can accompany menopause. Hormonal changes during this time of life can result in symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. Learn more about hormone replacement therapy and how it can relieve some symptoms of menopause. We also offer diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis.

Alternatives to Hysterectomy

Women experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding who wish to avoid major surgery now have less invasive options in the form of endometrial ablation, or the removal of the uterine lining. Most women have little or no menstrual bleeding after endometrial ablation, and can usually return to their normal activities in one or two days. Our office performs two procedures for treating heavy periods: NovaSure and Thermachoice.

Infertility Treatment and Evaluation

Couples experiencing difficultly becoming pregnant may benefit from our extensive services for the evaluation and treatment of infertility. Our testing begins with a physical exam and health history, which can help identify medical issues and lifestyle factors that can affect fertility.
