Why do you need family planning healthcare services?

We know that planning is so important for your continued health and well-being. About half of the pregnancies in the US are unintended. Family planning means that you will be better prepared and ready for your baby when the time comes for you to welcome a new member into your family.

After you’ve had a baby, you’ll also need information about contraception options that will keep you safe and healthy. Ideally, your pregnancies should be spaced at least 18 months apart. Your body needs time to heal. You may actually need to space pregnancies further apart, depending on your family and medical situation.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Dr. Westmoreland is always attentive to my concerns and my well being.

Review for Holly Westmoreland, MD, FACOG

Annual Well Woman Exam

I absolutely love Dr. Petrovski, but I always feel very rushed. Following my last two visits, I left and then remember questions I wanted to ask. Clearly I need to write them down, but the apt is so fast I feel like a burden if I take up any of her time with questions. It feels like this apt is strictly for the wellness visit, and if I want to ask questions or talk through anything, I need to schedule a separate apt. It's kind of a bummer bc I really do love Dr. Petrovski.

Review for Pauline Petrovski, MD
