What happens during women’s health care appointments?

During your visit, an experienced provider weighs you and determines your body mass index (BMI). They assess your blood pressure and other vital signs. Your specialist also discusses the reason for your appointment, medical history, medications, symptoms, and lifestyle.

During a physical exam, the Stoneleigh Primary Care team may perform a breast and pelvic exam, including a Pap test to screen for signs of cervical cancer. They evaluate your overall health by listening to your heartbeat and breathing and looking for signs of potential health problems.

If you need treatment, the Stoneleigh Primary Care team personalizes a plan that offers the best outcome.
