Conversations That Don’t Get Rushed
Some of the most important conversations in a woman’s medical life, about contraception, pregnancy plans, menopause, or a symptom that’s been bothering her for months, need time to unfold. We build women’s health visits around that reality and make space for the questions you’ve been putting off.
When a referral to a gynecologist, endocrinologist, or fertility specialist is needed, we coordinate it carefully and stay involved in your care from there.

Frequently Asked Questions About Women’s Health
Can I get my Pap smear and women’s health visit done by a family doctor instead of a gynecologist?
Yes, and many women find this simpler. Family physicians are fully trained to provide routine women’s health care, including Pap smears, breast exams, contraception, and menopause management. We refer to gynecology for procedures or complex issues that need a specialist.
Do you prescribe contraception?
Yes. We discuss the full range of options (pills, patches, rings, implants, and IUDs, hormonal and non-hormonal) and prescribe the ones that don’t require a procedure. For IUDs and implants, we’ll connect you with a clinician who places them and stay involved in your continuing care.
Are you open to discussing hormone therapy for menopause?
Yes. Menopause care has changed significantly in the past decade, and we keep up with the evidence. We’re happy to have an honest, evidence-based conversation about hormone therapy and other options: what has been shown to help, what the real risks look like, and what fits your situation.
