Yes! We do full service outpractice member family practice including care of men, women and teens age 8 and over. Our clinical staff includes 2 board Certified Family Physicians and one Family Nurse Practitioner.
For urgent visits, we strive to see you that day or the next with the first available clinician. Non-urgent visits are scheduled with your personal physician or Nurse Practitioner within several weeks, subject to your availability.
We are an out-of-network provider for all insurance plans as of June 1, 2015. We can give you a detailed receipt of medical services you receive when you are seen in the office or on a virtual visit. You can submit that for reimbursement under the out-of-network provisions of your plan if you wish. You can also save it as a record of medical expense.
Yes! We do PAP tests and routine physicals. Women’s health problems such as PMS, irregular cycles, ovarian cysts, infertility, perimenopause, recurrent miscarriage, pelvic pain and post-partum depression are addressed in a way that cooperates with a woman’s body and is never suppressive or destructive of her fertility. As family practitioners, we do not do surgery, but we have relationships with excellent surgeons for referral if surgery is needed.
We recommend an annual preventive exam for men, women and children to review their health status and see if there is anything that should be done or continued to maintain or improve your health status.
Yes, NaPro TECHNOLOGY is the name for this method of cooperative evaluation and treatment. When hormones are needed, we only use bio-identical hormones. There are many FDA approved forms of these, although some may need to be compounded for your individual situation.
NaPro TECHNOLOGY is a new women’s health science, developed at the Saint Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction in Omaha, Nebraska. 50 years of research has culminated in the development of this system of evaluation and treatment that cooperates with a woman’s reproductive system. The Creighton Model FertilityCare System is the method of observing and charting biomarkers of the fertility cycle. This information is the basis of evaluation and treatment in NaPro TECHNOLOGY. We can refer you to trained teachers for CrMS called Fertility Care Practitioners.
Fundamentally, NaPro is different in that it seeks to diagnose and understand the underlying problem and apply a treatment to correct that disorder as much as possible, restoring the practice member’s health as much as possible. Many popular approaches to Women’s Health and reproductive medicine are suppressive, manipulative or destructive. They may make the symptoms less troublesome, but do not cure, treat or even diagnose the underlying problem in many cases. NaPro TECHNOLOGY is also completely morally acceptable to many who find contraceptive methods of family planning, artificial reproductive technologies and in-vitro fertilization morally unacceptable.
OMT or Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment is a method of hands-on treatment of the musculoskeletal system to reduce pain and improve function. It is often used along with medical therapy to maximize a practice member’s return to health. It is an additional area of study that D.O.’s (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) obtain during their clinical training.
Creighton Model is a standardized, mucus based system of observation of a woman’s biomarkers to identify times of potential fertility and natural infertility. It can be used as a method of fertility appreciation to both avoid and achieve pregnancy. It is also an excellent method to monitor and maintain gynecological health.
We do venipuncture in the office. Sometimes for practice member convenience for early morning fasting or to time lab work with the cycle, labs will be drawn off-site at a draw site for LabCorp, Quest or BioReference Labs and the results sent to our clinicians for review.
We do not do x-rays, but we do some specialized pelvic ultrasound for NaPro TECHNOLOGY here at our office.
