What can I expect during a gynecology exam?
As experts in gynecology, Drs. Rotberg and Jordan typically conduct both a physical and a pelvic exam. The team also spends a great deal of time discussing your current concerns and health.
If you’re over the age of 21, a Pap smear may be completed during your pelvic exam. This test collects cells from your cervix to check for abnormalities and detect cervical cancer.
As a practice that promotes wellness and prevention, Grapevine Women’s Health and Gynecology also provides nutrition and lifestyle counseling to promote overall health.
