We know that women have unique health needs. That’s why all our providers
are specially trained experts in women’s health. Your women’s
health team may include:
OBGYNs: These medical doctors (of obstetrics and gynecology) specialize in the
female reproductive system. They’re your go-to for regular pap smears
and annual exams because they help with conditions related to the female
reproductive organs. They also closely manage your care before, during,
and after pregnancy.
Maternal fetal medicine specialists: You may work with a
maternal fetal medicine specialist if you have a high-risk pregnancy or complication. These doctors
focus on health concerns for pregnant people.
Gynecologic oncologists: If you have cancer that affects the female reproductive system, you’ll
work with a doctor called a gynecologic oncologist. They’re trained
in diagnosing and treating cancers, such as ovarian cancer, uterine cancer,
and cervical cancer.
Gynecologic surgeons: Gynecologic surgeons do surgeries to treat conditions of the female reproductive
system—examples include fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic organ prolapse,
and cancer removal.
Certified nurse midwives: These advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) care for women, similar
to an OBGYN. They focus both on childbirth and women’s health, providing
gynecology exams, family planning advice, prenatal care, labor and delivery
support, postpartum care, and more.
