What can I expect during women’s health care visits?

Your women’s health care appointment often begins with a discussion of your medical history, medications, lifestyle, and symptoms. Joshua checks your blood pressure and other vital signs and completes a physical exam. He offers breast exams to screen for breast cancer, and pelvic exams and Pap smears to screen for cervical cancer and gynecological concerns.

You might need hormone testing (blood tests), urine testing, heart function tests, a mammogram, an ultrasound, or other imaging procedures to screen for women’s health problems and determine if you’re a candidate for treatment. Clinical-grade SECA mBCA Ultra and Styku 3-D body scans can help evaluate lean versus fat mass to assess your body composition, determine disease risks, and track your results over time.

Which women’s health treatments are available?

If you’re a candidate for treatment, Joshua may suggest one or more of the following:

Medically supervised weight loss
Lifestyle modifications
Chronic disease management
Medication management
STD treatments
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
