Comprehensive Gynecology Services & Treatment

Gynecology focuses on the health needs of adolescent and adult women. Gynecologists have advanced training in the medical and surgical care of the female reproductive system. However, internists, family doctors, and primary care doctors may also deliver gynecologic care.

Obstetrics is closely related to gynecology and involves the care of pregnant women and their unborn babies. Doctors providing these services are called obstetrician/gynecologists, or OB/GYNs.

At Dignity Health, our OB/GYNs are committed to the health of women of all ages. You can expect care with humankindness and treatment that is customized to your unique needs.
