As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Devine offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Breech Position: Breech position means a baby is positioned feet or buttocks first in the uterus instead of head down, and your OB/GYN will monitor and discuss potential delivery methods.
- Cervical Incompetence: If your cervix opens too soon during pregnancy, leading to a risk of miscarriage or premature delivery, you may have cervical incompetence, a condition effectively managed by an OB/GYN.
- Female Infertility: If you're having trouble getting pregnant, an OB/GYN can diagnose the cause of female infertility and offer various treatment options like medication, surgery, or assisted reproductive technologies.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection in the urinary system, and your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with antibiotics.
- Cervical Cancer: OB/GYNs are key in detecting and treating cervical cancer through regular Pap smears and other tests, offering various treatment options if cancer is found.
- Twin Pregnancy: Twin pregnancies, while joyous, often require more frequent checkups and specialized care from an OB/GYN to ensure the health of both babies and the mother throughout the pregnancy and delivery.
- Pap Smear Abnormalities: An abnormal Pap smear result signals the need for additional testing and monitoring by your OB/GYN to rule out precancerous or cancerous changes in your cervix.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Your OB/GYN plays a key role in managing STDs, offering testing, diagnosis, treatment plans, and advice on safer sex practices to reduce your risk.
- Cervix Carcinoma: Cervical cancer develops in the cervix and requires expert care from an OB/GYN for early detection via screenings and appropriate treatment plans to manage or cure it.
- Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Your OB/GYN can help manage noninflammatory cervical conditions, such as cervical ectropion or polyps, which are abnormalities that may not cause symptoms but can be identified during routine checkups.
- Fallopian Tube Prolapse: Fallopian tube prolapse is a rare condition where the fallopian tubes, which connect the ovaries to the uterus, shift from their normal position, often causing pelvic pain and discomfort; an OB/GYN can diagnose the problem and discuss treatment options.
- Adenomyosis: Adenomyosis is a condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, causing heavy bleeding and pain, and an OB/GYN can help manage symptoms with medication or surgery.
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. Devine offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Oophorectomy: If you have ovarian cysts, cancer, or other conditions affecting your ovaries, your doctor may recommend an oophorectomy to improve your health.
- Tubal Ligation: If you're certain you don't want more children, a tubal ligation is a permanent surgical option to stop your ability to conceive.
- C-Section: If there are complications during labor, a C-section may be necessary to safely deliver the baby.
- Hysterectomy: A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a woman's uterus.
- Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): If abnormal cells are found on your cervix, this procedure might remove them to prevent cancer.
- 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.
- Chorionic Villus Sampling: If there's a family history of genetic disorders, a CVS test can provide early information about the health of the unborn baby.
- Birth Control: Your OB/GYN can advise on birth control to manage health conditions like acne or endometriosis.
- Fetal Cardiac Monitoring: This non-invasive procedure uses sensors to monitor your baby's heart rate, providing important information about their health throughout pregnancy and labor.
- Ultrasound: To assess your reproductive health, your doctor might use an ultrasound to create clear pictures of your pelvic organs, allowing for better diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Salpingo Oopherectomy: Women might undergo a salpingo-oophorectomy to address ovarian cysts, tumors, or as a preventative measure against ovarian cancer.
- Natural Childbirth: This approach empowers women to actively participate in their labor and delivery, trusting their bodies' abilities.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Devine:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Devine, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist specializes in the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Devine provides care for women throughout their lives, encompassing both specialties.
- At what age should I (or my daughter) have my first gynecologist visit?
- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends a first visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This first visit is often a conversation to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits, and a pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool for assessing fetal growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasounds provide detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but are not typically used for medical diagnosis. They are an optional service.
- 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 visit is important for confirming your pregnancy, determining your due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Pap smear guidelines have changed. For most women ages 21-29, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years. Women ages 30-65 should typically have a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Devine will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Devine provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. She discusses hormone replacement therapy (HRT) options and performs screenings for bone density and heart health.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Devine performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can result in faster recovery times.
- 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, which causes most cases of cervical cancer and genital warts. It is recommended for all preteens, both boys and girls, at age 11 or 12, and can be given to young adults as well.
