Well-Woman Exams
A well-woman exam covers the preventive care women need at every stage of life. Pap smears and screening labs are done right in our office.
Preventive Care Built for Women
A well-woman exam is a yearly visit focused on women's health. It includes a review of your history, a physical exam, and the screenings that fit your age, such as a Pap smear. It is also a private, unhurried time to talk about periods, hormones, menopause or anything else that is bothering you.
Because our family medicine team also cares for your general health, your women's health care and your primary care stay in one chart. Pap smears and lab draws are handled on-site, and we refer you to a trusted specialist when you need one.

What Your Well-Woman Exam Includes
Your visit covers prevention first, then any concerns you bring.
Pap Smear
Cervical cancer screening is done in our office. Your provider will tell you how often you need it based on your age and past results.
Wellness Screenings
We check blood pressure and weight and draw screening labs in-house, such as cholesterol, blood sugar and thyroid tests. All results land in your chart.
Hormone and Menopause Questions
Hot flashes, sleep problems, mood shifts and low libido are real symptoms worth checking. If labs point to a hormone imbalance, we can talk about treatment options, including bioidentical hormones.
Coordinated Follow-Up
If you need a specialist, we refer you to a trusted one and stay involved. Your primary care team keeps the whole picture in view.
