The medical specialty of the Durham Women's Clinic is Women's Health & Obstetrics and Gynecology which includes:

Gynecology (general care of the female reproduction organs)
Midwifery (Visit our Midwives Website)
Contraception
Infertility
Sterilization
Endocrinology
Gynecologic surgery

As part of this specialty, we treat all age groups, from pre-adolescent girls to post-menopausal women.

In spite of the fact that obstetrics and gynecology is technically a specific medicine, it has in recent years become known as a "primary care specialty." which means that many women consider their obstetrician/gynecologist as their main doctor. Thus, if problems occur that are outside our particular range of care, we will work closely with internists, psychiatrists, general surgeons, etc. to provide appropriate treatment and consultation for you. In such cases we actively pursue any follow-up care that is necessary. We also place particular emphasis on preventative medicine, helping you learn better ways to take care of yourself.

Our concern is your good health, which is a product of the interaction among all the systems of your body, not just the reproductive organs. This is why your first visit includes a complete medical history and physical exam. It not only serves to detect associated or unsuspected illnesses but serves as a baseline for future examinations.

A successful women's health care relationship requires mutual understanding, respect, and confidence. We at the Durham Women's Clinic will strive to uphold our part in this relationship by providing you the highest standard of women's health care in an environment if concern and courtesy. If you ever have any doubts, questions or suggestions, please discuss them with us. If you feel that another medical opinion is necessary, please do not hesitate to request one at any time. Our primary function is Service, and we feel privileged to serve your women's health needs. Durham Women's Clinic serves all areas of Women's Health, including obstetrics and gynecology.
