Your First Appointment
Your doctor needs to know about your health history to provide the best care for you. These forms will be mailed to you. If you do not get them before your visit, please come to the office 15 minutes early to complete the forms. Your first visit will include a review of your health history. A physical exam will be scheduled for another time. Please bring a list of any medicines that you are taking. Make sure we have all of your medical records.
If you are an OB patient, you will visit our office every four weeks during the first seven months of your pregnancy. Then you will visit every two weeks. Towards the end of your pregnancy, we will see you weekly. During adulthood, we believe women need a complete reproductive exam every one or two years. The frequencies of these exams depend on your risk factors.
Routine preventive care includes:
- Pap smear
- Pelvic exam
- Breast exam
If you are having either an obstetrical or gynecological problem and feel that you need to be seen before your scheduled appointment, please call our office. Insurance charges and the time required for the visit will vary according to the specific problem(s).
