On-Site Diagnostic Testing
Expansion of Ultrasound Services
Our new ultrasound suite is significantly larger to
accommodate visitors and the many new services we are now providing.
We now offer sonohysterograms, for evaluation of fibroids and abnormal bleeding. We continue to offer amniocentesis, and first trimester screening (nuchal thickness) as part of our genetic screening program, overseen by Nationally renowned medical geneticist, Eugene
Pergament, M.D.
In addition, we have added
a second ultrasound unit to increase availability and
flexibility in ultrasound scheduling. We even offer
Saturday hours!
All of our office ultrasounds
are now interpreted by the Maternal Fetal Medicine
group (High risk Obstetricians) from Prentice
women’s Hospital.
In addition, a maternal fetal medicine specialist
is available for Level II ultrasounds and consultations
in our office for high risk or problem pregnancies.
Osteoporosis Screening
Our new Dexa scanner provides state of the art osteoporosis screening. As always, you will receive immediate results. In addition, a report will be provided to your internist. While we can often schedule a bone density at the last minute, a prescheduled appointment at the time of your annual visit assures that it will be done without waiting and that your physician can discuss results with you immedietly. Check out our website to see if you are a candidate for screening or ask at the time you call for your appointment.
NST room
Now you can have your non-stress test in a comfortable Lazy boy recliner in a room where your visitor can stay with you, making it truly a non-stress test. If only we could get a message
therapist.
Urodynamic Testing
Most gynecologists send their patients to
a urologist for evaluation of stress incontinence.
We are able to provide urodynamic testing right
in our office with immediate feedback.
Minor Surgery Suite
Our surgical suite allows us to do many minor procedures right in our office including those that require anesthesia. Anesthesia services are provided by a team of board certified anesthesiologists. Our patients really appreciate avoiding that hospital visit .
On Site Billing Services
During the last year, we have moved our billing
on site providing better service and greater
availability of billing personal to explain benefits
and deal with any billing problems. We think
there has been a vast improvement.
Fertility Services
Fertility services have been expanded as well. In addition to evaluation of infertility, we now have on site x-ray capabilities to perform hysterosalpingograms, a test often recommended to evaluate fallopian tubes and the cavity of the uterus. Multiple other physicians from other practices also take advantage of our state of the art equipment. Our x-ray technician, Tracy Iverson, brings with her years of experience in hysterosalpingograms; positive feedback from
our patients has been gratifying.
Our protocols for the treatment and evaluation of infertility are regularly updated in consultation with a reproductive endocrinologist (fertility specialist) .
We also offer insemination with
donor sperm for single or lesbian women who
desire pregnancy.
Surgery Co-ordinator.
Booking surgery, pre-certifying insurance,
and making sure all the proper testing has
been done in preparation for a surgical procedure
is something you shouldn’t have to worry about. That’s
why Linda Suarez is now available as the surgery
co-ordinator to make sure all those details
are taken care of. In addition to routine scheduling
and precertification, she can help the out
of town patient book a hotel room at a reduced
rate and co-ordinate other doctors appointments.
