Considering birth control? We’re here to help you make an informed decision!

Our services include annual exams, obstetric care, and specialized services such as 3D mammography, menopause care, and Bioidentical Hormone Optimization Therapy (BHRT). When it comes to family planning, our goal is simple: to help you find the birth control method that best fits your lifestyle and health needs.

Every form of contraception has its own unique pros and cons, and no birth control method is 100% effective. The most important consideration is choosing a form of contraception that best suits your lifestyle, and using it correctly and consistently. Intrauterine Devices (IUDs) have a 99% success rate, and are a popular choice because you won’t have to remember to take a pill or insert a device before sexual activity. They’re effective for up to twelve years after insertion (depending on the device you choose), and can be removed whenever you’re ready to become pregnant. We offer IUDs from leading pharmaceutical companies, including Nexplanon, Paragard, Mirena, and Skyla, and we’ll help you determine which device is most suitable for you during your annual well-woman exam. 

The device will be inserted during an outpatient office visit, and some IUDs are effective immediately after the procedure. The procedure is relatively painless, but you might experience cramping or discomfort after your IUD is in place. Insertion only takes about 5-10 minutes, but you should plan on taking the whole day off so you’ll have time to rest and recover. Other potential side effects you’re likely to encounter include dizziness, backaches, or some light bleeding or spotting. Be sure to contact your OB-GYN immediately if you experience any side effects that persist for longer than a few days after the procedure.
