Pap Smears & Cervical Cancer Screening

Routine cervical cancer screening can detect abnormal cervical cells before they develop into cancer. Depending on your age, medical history, and previous results, screening may include a Pap test, HPV testing, or both.

We can help you determine which screening is appropriate for you and how often it should be completed. If your results require additional evaluation, we will explain the findings and help coordinate the appropriate next steps.

You may be due for screening if:

It has been several years since your last screening.
You are unsure when your last Pap smear was performed.
You have a history of HPV or an abnormal Pap result.
You have experienced bleeding after sex or unusual vaginal bleeding.
You are establishing care with a new women’s health provider.

Confidential STI Screening

Many sexually transmitted infections cause few or no symptoms. Screening is an important part of protecting your health, whether you are beginning a new relationship, have concerns about a possible exposure, or simply want reassurance.

Testing may be available for:

Chlamydia
Gonorrhea
Trichomonas
HIV
Syphilis
Hepatitis B and C
Other infections based on symptoms and exposure

We provide respectful, confidential testing and guidance without judgment. Your provider will help determine which tests are appropriate based on your age, symptoms, sexual history, anatomy, and potential exposures.

You do not need to have symptoms to request STI screening. If something does not feel right, or you simply want peace of mind—we are here to help.

Birth Control & Period Management

Birth control is not one-size-fits-all. We help patients choose an option that fits their health history, lifestyle, reproductive goals, and preferences.

Options include:

Birth control pills
Birth control patches or vaginal rings
Injectable contraception
IUD counseling and management
Contraceptive implant counseling and management
Emergency contraception
Preconception planning

Hormonal medications may also be used to improve period-related concerns, including:

Heavy or prolonged bleeding
Painful periods
Irregular cycles
Frequent periods
Premenstrual symptoms
Menstrual migraines
Period suppression for convenience or quality of life

Whether your goal is pregnancy prevention, better periods, or greater control over your cycle, we will help you understand your options and build a plan around your needs.
