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.
