Gynecology & Preventive Care
Gynecology
Well-woman exams, endometriosis, PCOS and fibroids, from providers who take your symptoms seriously.
What is it?
Gynecology at Plaza covers both everyday care and more complex conditions, under one roof and with the same providers each time.
Well-woman exams
An unhurried yearly visit that looks at the whole picture: a physical and pelvic exam, age-appropriate screenings, a review of your history and medications, and an honest conversation about how you are feeling.
Endometriosis
Pain that interferes with your life should never be dismissed as normal. We map the pain, confirm the diagnosis and treat in stages, starting with hormonal and medical management.
PCOS
Polycystic ovary syndrome can affect cycles, skin, hair, weight and fertility. We confirm the diagnosis properly and build a plan around what matters most to you, while keeping an eye on long-term metabolic health.
Fibroids
Fibroids are common and often harmless, but they can cause heavy bleeding, pressure and pain. We assess them with imaging and discuss every option, including uterus-preserving treatment.
What symptoms or concerns might bring you to us?
A yearly well-woman exam and screening
Heavy, irregular or painful periods
Pelvic pain, including pain that has been dismissed as normal
Irregular cycles, acne or unwanted hair growth
Heavy bleeding, pressure or a known fibroid
Abnormal Pap results, ovarian cysts or pelvic prolapse
How Plaza approaches it
We take a full history before we reach for a test. Many gynecologic symptoms have several possible causes, and the right answer usually comes from understanding the pattern, not just the moment.
Once we know what we are dealing with, we lay out the options plainly, including the option to watch and wait when that is genuinely reasonable.
Treatment options
Annual exams, Pap smears and HPV testing
Pelvic ultrasound and diagnostic evaluation
Medical management of bleeding and pain
Endometriosis evaluation and medical management
PCOS management for cycles, skin, weight and metabolic health
Fibroid treatment, including uterus-preserving options

He listens to you and your needs as a patient.
