Our unique prenatal care allows you to tailor your obstetrical care to your personal and financial needs without sacrificing the quality of your care (i.e. not all patients would choose to pursue genetic testing, or the associated cost, whereas some practices recommend it “for everyone”). At the beginning of your prenatal care you will meet with one of our financial planners to tailor your care to your needs. They will explain what is included in your global fee and what “extra” services are available. Laboratory tests performed in our office offer great savings compared to the same tests performed at the hospital.
Routine prenatal care includes up to 13 visits. If your pregnancy becomes complicated (i.e. gestational diabetes, hypertension, etc.), more visits may be required. During the 1st half of pregnancy (up to 22 weeks) you are seen every 4 weeks. Between 22-32 weeks, every 3 weeks. Between 32-36 weeks, every 2 weeks. After 36 weeks, every week until delivery.

Surgical Services
Services include hysterectomy, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, sterilization (to prevent future pregnancies), colposcopy and treatment of abnormal pap smears. We also perform many other procedures including surgery for urine incontinence, vaginal prolapse and vaginal reconstruction to name a few. Please call the office to obtain a quote for these procedures as they can vary.
Hysterectomy
can be accomplished by a number of different “routes” which vary in costs and recovery time. The majority of our hysterectomies are performed on an outpatient basis, saving the cost of inpatient services at a hospital. Further savings can be accomplished by having your hysterectomy at a surgery center rather than a hospital (i.e. hysterectomy fees at a surgery center are $6,000 and hospital can range from $12,000-$18,000 or more). Unfortunately, some insurance companies dictate how and where your hysterectomy will be performed.

Hysteroscopy
is a surgical procedure when a camera is placed through the vagina, then the cervix, and into the uterus to help diagnose or treat problems of the uterus (i.e. heavy periods, uterine tumors or polyps). It can be used for sterilization by placing coils in the fallopian tubes to block them. The most popular use of the hysteroscopy is to burn the lining of the uterus to stop or lessen a heavy or irregular period. There is minimal pain and recovery is generally 24-48 hours. This is called endometrial ablation.

Laproscopy
is a surgery where a camera is placed (usually through the navel “belly button”) into the abdomen which allows the surgeon to see and fix problems of the patient’s ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvis (i.e. endometriosis). Many times it is used for diagnosis (to see “what’s going on”), but can also be used for sterilization, to burn the fallopian tubes (tubal ligation) or remove them.

Birth Control Methods
Condoms and Spermicide
Condoms should always be utilized to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. When combined with vaginal suppositories, they can provide an effective means of birth control.
Birth Control Pills
use estrogen and progesterone hormones to stop ovulation (release of the egg from the ovary). They are 99% effective when used correctly.
Depo Provera
is a long acting progesterone injection that is repeated every 3 months.
Nuva Ring
is a vaginally inserted ring that releases estrogen and progesterone (the same hormones as pills).
Nexplanon
is a subdermal (placed under the skin) long acting, 3-year implant.
