Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a method of birth control?
Choosing the right birth control method involves several factors, including your age, medical history, lifestyle, and whether you prefer a hormone-based option. Our knowledgeable providers can help you explore the choices available and select an option that fits your needs.
What age should girls switch from the pediatrician to a women’s wellness provider?
This transition usually happens in the late teenage years or early twenties, though timing can vary based on individual needs and comfort level. Some patients transition earlier for menstrual concerns or reproductive health needs, while others prefer to wait. Our team helps guide this process in a way that feels supportive and appropriate.
Do I need a primary care doctor or a gynecologist for women’s wellness services?
Many women’s wellness services can be managed by a primary care provider, including routine exams, screenings, and general health concerns. A gynecologist may be recommended for more specialized reproductive or pelvic care. Our team works closely with specialists when needed to ensure comprehensive care.
How often should women get a wellness exam?
Most women benefit from annual wellness visits, although frequency may vary depending on age, medical history, and risk factors. These visits are important for preventive care, recommended screenings, and addressing overall health concerns.
How should I prepare for my women’s wellness appointment?
Please bring a photo ID, a list of current medications, and any questions you would like to discuss during your visit to our clinic in Winston-Salem, NC. In most cases, little additional preparation is needed. Our administrative staff will be happy to let you know if there is anything else you should bring.
