Women’s Healthcare Through All Stages of Life
Many of our patients have been with us since early adulthood, from their first pelvic exam, to pregnancy, menopause, and beyond. We have found that women are more comfortable working with the same doctor throughout the important stages of their life. Our team of OBGYN doctors and healthcare providers offer effective, nurturing care to each of our female patients.
Many of our teenage patients have never received gynecologic care before, and may be feeling anxious or nervous about their first visit. We take extra time to speak with younger patients before their exam and explain the entire process. During your gynecology appointment, you can expect to have all your questions and concerns addressed by one of our experienced medical professionals.
Whether this is your first time visiting a gynecologist, or you’re a seasoned mother with full grown children, our women’s healthcare practice is here to guide you to optimal health.
Preventative Healthcare for Women
Routine gynecologic care is the most effective protection against disease, infection, chronic health conditions, and other abnormalities. Annual exams are recommended for all women who are over the age of 18 or sexually active. Your gynecologist will check on your overall health and the health of your reproductive system through a pelvic exam, breast exam, and Pap test.
These exams can help screen for signs of HPV, cervical cancer, and many other health conditions. Regular screenings ensure you receive the right treatment and prevent damage to your reproductive system and overall health. Early detection is especially important as women age, since they become more susceptible to cervical cancer, breast cancer, osteoporosis and more.
More frequent screenings are usually recommended for our older patients to promote early detection of any gynecologic problems. Our doctors will also educate patients on how to keep themselves healthy at home, by performing breast self-exams and using effective birth control. Another common preventive health measure is STD screenings. Your gynecologist can recommend the best timeline for undergoing screenings for common STDs, such as:
Gonorrhea
Syphilis
Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
Herpes

Gynecology FAQ
-
A gynecologist is a doctor that specializes in women’s healthcare, focusing on the reproductive system. After four years of medical school training, a gynecologist must undergo an additional four years of specialized training and receive certification from the American Board of Gynecologists.
-
During a routine visit, your doctor discusses any questions or concerns you have about your sexual health. He also reviews your personal and family medical history to determine if additional screenings are necessary for cancer, cysts, and fertility issues due to existing medical conditions.
Your doctor performs a routine pelvic exam where he checks for abnormalities of the reproductive system, including ovarian cysts and fibroids. He also administers a Pap test to check for the presence of precancerous or cancerous cervical cells.
As part of your annual wellness check, your doctor does a manual breast exam to identify lumps or other irregularities. If you’re over the age of 40 or have a history of cancer in your family, he may recommend an annual mammogram to check for signs of breast cancer.
-
Many women are prone to osteoporosis, a progressive disease of the bones that results in frequent fractures and breaks. Osteoporosis occurs when you lose bone density as you age due to lower levels of estrogen.
Osteoporosis is a common part of your postmenopausal years, and Dr. Mooney and Dr. Peña offer bone density testing to determine how weak or strong your bones are so early treatment can begin. They can prescribe medications or hormone therapies to protect your bone health.

Gynecology visits are recommended for females starting around the age of 13 when their first menstrual cycle occurs. By establishing an early relationship with a trusted gynecologist, a teenage girl is more likely to be comfortable and use open and honest communication during future visits.
Dr. Mooney and Dr. Peña encourage gynecology care as soon as you plan to become sexually active. They offer family planning services and screenings for sexually transmitted diseases to protect your reproductive health.
Dr. Mooney and Dr. Peña recommend annual gynecology visits to ensure your reproductive and overall health and well-being.
