Gynecology Services

At SOCH, our expert team of clinicians includes board-certified gynecologist and a certified nurse mid-wife who are dedicated to providing exceptional care for women from adolescence through the post-menopausal years.

The gynecology team stresses the importance of preventive care.  During an annual physical exam, the physician or mid-wife will perform a pelvic and breast exam to check for infection or abnormalities.  The woman will also have a Pap smear, a virtually painless test that can diagnose cervical cancer in its earliest stage, when there is the best chance for successful treatment.

Gynecologists at SOCH are skilled at treating a number of conditions affecting women.  These include:

  • Abnormal uterine bleeding
  • Uterine fibroid
  • Endometriosis
  • Polycystic ovarian syndrome
  • Osteoporosis
  • Menopausal symptoms
  • Painful menstrual periods
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Urinary incontinence
Treatment for these conditions may include medication, or sophisticated surgical procedures.  SOCH gynecologists are experts in performing minimally invasive techniques such as endometrial ablation to control abnormal uterine bleeding, as well as laparoscopic and total hysterectomy to treat a number of conditions when other less invasive treatments have failed to provide relief.
