Your health is your wealth!
We all want to live our best lives, and it all starts with keeping ourselves healthy! It’s challenging to go out and achieve if you don’t feel well, and you need plenty of stamina to maintain a passionate marriage and raise well-rounded children. Our team at Central Clinic for Women is committed to providing dedicated and compassionate care for women of all ages, and we’re ready to help you take control of your personal health and wellness journey! We’re conveniently located on the Baptist Health campus, and we’re a phone call away when you’re ready to schedule your annual exam!
Annual exams for women include a basic medical history review, a pelvic examination to assess sexual and reproductive health, and a clinical breast exam to detect any hardening, thickening, lumps, or other changes in each layer of breast tissue. It might also include additional procedures as needed, such as an ultrasound, urinalysis, or a pap smear to screen for cervical cancer and human papillomavirus (HPV). In addition to annual exams, we also offer the following services to help you develop a long-term holistic plan for your overall health and wellness:
3D Screening Mammograms - Women aged 35 and up should schedule 3D Mammograms at least annually, and women who present with certain risk factors may want to start regular mammograms earlier. We proudly offer state-of-the-art 3D mammography, which offers more detailed information to diagnosticians and improved cancer detection in dense tissues.
Family planning - If you’re not ready for children right now, we’ll help you select a form of contraception that’s most suitable for your lifestyle and your body’s unique chemistry. We also offer intrauterine devices (IUDs) from leading pharmaceutical companies, including Nexplanon, Paragard, Mirena, and Skyla.
Bioidentical Hormone Optimization Therapy - Hormone imbalances affect millions of men and women during the aging process, leading to insomnia, rapid mood swings, decreased libido, and many other unpleasant symptoms. The good news is that these ailments can often be successfully managed by delivering bioidentical hormones to replace those that were lost! We offer Biote Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) for both men and women, which administers bioidentical hormones through subcutaneous pellets. Full hormone optimization may take up to six months, but some patients report some relief in as few as four weeks.

Menopause begins for most women when they reach their early 50s, but some women might start experiencing symptoms as early as their mid-to-late 40s. What are the most common symptoms of menopause? Many women start experiencing a host of unpleasant symptoms once they reach middle age, including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and irregular periods; You might also experience mood swings or struggle to maintain a healthy weight.
