All women should regard gynecological care with the utmost importance. Women’s OB-GYN provides comprehensive gynecological care, including the following services:
Regular gynecological exams should be scheduled annually, which screen for abnormalities within the reproductive organs. Women’s OB-GYN requests that these exams, as well as any additional laboratory tests, be scheduled by the patient at their earliest convenience. If abnormalities are found in the test results, the patient will be phoned unless other arrangements have been made between the patient and provider. Patients are also welcome to call for test results, but it is requested that at least seven business days have passed, following the test date, before calling. All normal test results will also be mailed.
Women’s OB-GYN offers additional in-office services apart from regular obstetrical and gynecological care. Office procedures include endometrial ablation, a procedure performed to control heavy uterine bleeding.
Endometrial ablation is a procedure done to curb dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The procedure is performed in the office under anesthesia. During this procedure, a thin layer of the uterine lining is destroyed, stopping or reducing menstrual flow. If ablation does not successfully control heavy bleeding, further treatment may be required. Ablation should not be performed on postmenopausal women or those experiencing any of the following:
Because part of the uterine lining is destroyed during this procedure, it makes pregnancy very unlikely. However, if pregnancy does occur, there are extremely high risks of miscarriage and other complications. Women who desire to become pregnant should not have an ablation.
Undergoing an ablation takes only a short time, while recovery lasts approximately two hours, depending on which method and pain relief are used. There are no incisions involved during ablations. Women who undergo this procedure still have all of their reproductive organs, meaning routine pap smears, and pelvic exams will still be necessary. Before deciding to have an ablation, patients will discuss the procedure with their doctor, and a uterine lining sample will be collected.
My first experience with Women's OB/GYN occurred when I was 24 weeks along with my twins. That experience was amazing as they treated my high-risk pregnancy with their expertise and compassion. The first time I met Dr. Spence was the day she delivered my babies at 35.5 weeks, and she was so patient explaining what was about to happen before going in, and answered all my anxious questions which put me at ease. Now, 18 years later, I needed additional care that my PCP was not able to take care of so I returned to Women's. I was scheduled with Dr. Spence and I just had a procedure done in the office today. She is an amazing doctor and an asset to our community, as is the entire office staff, who make you feel comfortable even in uncomfortable situations. I would highly recommend this clinic to my own daughters, my family, friends and my community if they are in need of exceptional care by extraordinary physicians and staff.

Women’s took care of me throughout my pregnancy through and through. I loved that I got to meet majority of the doctors as it felt like they all had adecent understanding of what my pregnancy entailed and I was comfortable going through labor with any of them. Dr. Schmidt, despite me wanting to be so stubborn made a decision that saved me and my baby from a dangerous situation. Dr. Wagner and Dr. Minnec were encouraging, thorough and talked to me as a person during my induction. Dr. Blanchard did an amazing job with my c section and made sure my baby and I both made it out safe. The entire staff at Women’s was always kind to me and did what they could to answer questions and help me with any issues or concerns.

I never have a bad experience here. As a woman you want to be somewhere that you feel comfortable trusting and disclosing all your personal info to. Taking care of your body can be a lot easier here just due to the kind and patient staff.

Kennedi was amazing- I get extremely nervous for doctors appts, so I was totally stressed this morning. She really put my fears at ease, discussed my questions/concerns in depth, and made everything quick/easy. I will definitely request to see her for future visits. :)

I was sooooo scared going in that office due to a horrible experience with a different doctor. She sat there WAY longer than I expected and made sure I understood everything. She answered every single question I had and then some. I was super scared about getting a full hysterectomy and now well as long as she’s doing it BRING IT ON! Dr. Schmidt is so compassionate and caring. I am 💯 having my daughter go to her when needed.
