Quality Gynecology in Northern California
Gynecology is a branch of health care that focuses on the health needs of adolescent and adult women. Gynecologists are doctors who have advanced training in the medical and surgical care of the female reproductive system. While gynecologists are specialists in this field, family doctors, primary care doctors, and internists may all offer gynecologic care.
Many gynecologists also provide care for pregnant women and their unborn children, or obstetrics. These doctors often go by the name obstetrician/gynecologist, or OB/GYN.
