As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Staub offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Uterine Carcinoma: If you're diagnosed with uterine cancer (uterine carcinoma), your OB/GYN will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan and provide ongoing support.
- Asymptomatic Post-Menopausal Status: After menopause, some women don't experience any problems; this is called asymptomatic post-menopause, and regular monitoring by an OB/GYN is still important.
- Endometriosis: With endometriosis, tissue that normally lines the uterus grows in other areas of the body, leading to painful periods and other issues, treatable with various strategies from your OB/GYN.
- Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids are muscular tumors that develop in the uterus and can cause a range of symptoms; your OB/GYN is best equipped to diagnose and treat them.
- Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: Experiencing pelvic pain and fever? A tubo-ovarian abscess might be the cause, and your OB/GYN is the right doctor to diagnose and treat it, often using antibiotics and monitoring for complications.
- Amenorrhea: An OB/GYN is the right doctor to see if you're experiencing amenorrhea, as they can identify underlying medical issues and offer solutions.
- Cervical Cancer: Abnormal cervical cells can lead to cervical cancer, a serious condition that OB/GYNs manage through regular checkups, advanced screenings, and treatment plans.
- Miscarriages: A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week, and OB/GYNs provide care and support during this difficult time.
- Breast Cancer: Breast cancer is a disease where cells in the breast grow uncontrollably, and OB/GYNs play a role in screening, diagnosis, and referring patients to specialists for treatment.
- Female Infertility: Female infertility affects many couples, and an OB/GYN can help determine the underlying problem and provide personalized treatment plans to increase the chances of pregnancy.
- Fallopian Tube Disorders: Problems with your fallopian tubes, such as ectopic pregnancy or damage, can be diagnosed and managed by an OB/GYN who offers various treatment options.
- Chronic Vaginitis: Chronic vaginitis is a persistent vaginal infection causing irritation and discharge, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with medication or other therapies.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Staub offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Hysteroscopy: During a hysteroscopy, your doctor can diagnose and treat certain uterine conditions, such as removing polyps or scar tissue, all within a single procedure.
- Fetal Cardiac Monitoring: By tracking your baby's heartbeat, fetal monitoring helps identify potential problems and allows for timely interventions if needed.
- Pregnancy Ultrasound: A pregnancy ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of your baby in your womb, helping to check its growth and development.
- Destruction or Excision of Vaginal Lesions: This involves removing or destroying abnormal areas in the vagina, often to confirm a diagnosis or treat a problem.
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: This ultrasound test helps your doctor assess the health of your uterus and fallopian tubes by gently inflating them with fluid and using sound waves to create an image.
- Infertility Evaluation: Through blood tests, imaging, and other procedures, an infertility evaluation helps determine whether the cause of infertility is related to the woman, the man, or a combination of factors.
- Endometrial Ablation: For women with debilitatingly heavy periods, endometrial ablation is a surgical procedure that reduces menstrual flow by targeting the source of the bleeding in the uterus.
- Pap Smear: This quick procedure involves collecting a sample of cells from your cervix to screen for cervical cancer and precancerous changes.
- Hysterectomy: If other treatments fail to resolve uterine problems, a hysterectomy might be recommended to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
- Salpingo Oopherectomy: A salpingo-oophorectomy is a surgical procedure to remove both the fallopian tubes and ovaries.
- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Vaginal delivery is the natural process of giving birth, where the baby passes through the vagina.
- Gynecologic Cancer Screening: These screenings aim to find cancer before you have symptoms, improving your chances of successful treatment and a better outcome.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Staub:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Staub, is a specialist trained in both obstetrics (pregnancy, labor, and childbirth) and gynecology (overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception). They provide comprehensive care for women throughout their lives.
- At what age should I (or my daughter) have my first gynecologist visit?
- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends a first gynecologist visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This visit is often a conversation to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- I'm pregnant. When should I schedule my first prenatal appointment?
- Call our office as soon as you have a positive home pregnancy test. Your first prenatal visit is typically scheduled for around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This first visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining a due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods can be concerning. While some cramping is normal, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily activities is not. These symptoms could indicate treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Staub can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Staub performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which may result in a faster recovery.
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Pap smear guidelines have changed. For most women, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years for ages 21-29. For women ages 30-65, the preferred approach is a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Staub will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- What is the HPV vaccine and who should get it?
- The HPV vaccine is a safe and effective vaccine that protects against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes most cases of cervical cancer and genital warts. It's recommended for all preteens, both boys and girls, at age 11 or 12, and can be given to young adults as well.
- My partner and I are having trouble getting pregnant. When should we see a doctor?
- Couples should generally seek a fertility evaluation if they have not conceived after one year of trying (if the woman is under 35) or after six months (if the woman is 35 or older). Dr. Staub can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
