Physicals Including Breast & Pelvic Exams
ButtonAccording to data from the American Cancer Society, 1 in 3 women is diagnosed with breast cancer every year.
Fortunately, early detection can significantly improve the chances of successful treatment. Regular physicals, including breast and pelvic exams, are checkpoints safeguarding your road to good health. They let us look for infections, abnormal growths, pelvic pain, or early signs of gynecological conditions that might affect your well-being later.
Our primary care providers (PCPs) are experienced and perform these exams with professionalism and respect for your comfort. Your health is our priority, and we're here to make sure you have the information and care you need to thrive. When medically indicated, we will make referrals to the local specialists we know and trust.
