Specialized Gynecological Procedures and Hormonal Support

For patients who need advanced gynecological care, we offer specialized procedures such as colposcopy and endometrial biopsy. If you’ve received an abnormal pap smear or have been diagnosed with cervical dysplasia, a colposcopy allows for close examination of the cervix using a high-powered microscope and special stains to detect pre-cancerous changes. Our providers may take a biopsy during the procedure to guide monitoring or treatment. We also offer endometrial biopsies to investigate abnormal uterine bleeding or to rule out more serious conditions like endometrial hyperplasia or cancer.

Hormonal balance plays a key role in overall wellness, especially during perimenopause and menopause. We provide bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help relieve symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and fatigue. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those produced by your body, allowing for more natural and individualized treatment. Our hormone therapy plans are designed based on your specific lab results, symptoms, and wellness goals—so you can feel like yourself again.

Preventive Screenings, STD Testing, and Immunizations

Preventive care is at the heart of what we do. Our women’s health team offers confidential STD testing and treatment for a wide range of infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, HPV, and HIV. Regular screening is crucial, especially if you’re sexually active or have new or multiple partners. If an issue is found, we provide fast, compassionate treatment and work with you to prevent future infections and protect your reproductive health.

In addition to screenings, we offer a full range of immunizations to help you stay protected at home and abroad. Routine vaccinations include Tdap, HPV, flu shots, and others based on your age and risk factors. We also provide travel immunizations to help you stay healthy on international trips. Summit Health Group is proud to be a local leader in women’s preventive care, and we’re here to help you feel empowered, informed, and well cared for—every step of the way.
