As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Angel offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Female Infertility due to Uterine Disorder: If you're having trouble getting pregnant, it could be due to a uterine disorder; an OB/GYN can perform tests and offer treatments to help you conceive.
- Uterine Cancer: An OB/GYN plays a crucial role in the prevention, detection, and treatment of uterine cancer, offering regular check-ups and managing various treatment approaches.
- Maternal Hypotension Syndrome: Maternal hypotension syndrome is a dangerously low blood pressure in pregnant women, and OB/GYNs manage it to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
- Genital Warts: Small, fleshy growths on or around the genitals are a sign of genital warts, a treatable STI that your OB/GYN can effectively manage.
- Asymptomatic Post-Menopausal Status: Asymptomatic post-menopause describes a woman's transition after menopause without any troubling physical symptoms. OB/GYNs still recommend regular check-ups to maintain health.
- Vaginal Prolapse: A weakened vagina can cause organs to slip down, leading to vaginal prolapse; an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat this condition.
- 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.
- 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.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Your OB/GYN is the right doctor to see if you're experiencing vaginal itching, burning, unusual discharge, or a foul odor, as these could be signs of vaginitis or vaginosis.
- Pap Smear Abnormalities: If your Pap smear comes back abnormal, it doesn't automatically mean you have cancer, but your OB/GYN will order more tests to find out what's causing the abnormality.
- Yeast Infections: If you experience vaginal itching, burning, or abnormal discharge, it could be a yeast infection; your OB/GYN can confirm the diagnosis and recommend appropriate antifungal treatment.
- Female Infertility due to Tubal Disorder: Female infertility due to tubal disorders means a woman is unable to get pregnant because of problems with her fallopian tubes, and an OB/GYN can help diagnose and treat these issues.
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. Angel offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Fetal Cardiac Screening: This test uses sound waves to create images of your baby's heart, allowing doctors to detect any potential problems early on.
- Pap Smear: It's a routine test to screen for changes in the cells of your cervix, helping to prevent cervical cancer.
- Tubal Ligation: Tubal ligation, also known as getting your tubes tied, is a permanent sterilization method for women who don't want to have children.
- Pregnancy Test: A pregnancy test is a simple procedure to determine if you're pregnant.
- Mammography: If you're at risk for breast cancer or need a breast health check, a mammogram is a low-dose X-ray procedure that helps your doctor see inside your breast tissue for any problems.
- Rh Incompatibility Screening: If you're pregnant or planning a pregnancy, Rh incompatibility screening identifies any potential blood type mismatch that could affect your baby and allows for preventative measures.
- Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Genetic screening for breast cancer helps identify your risk of developing the disease based on your genes.
- Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): A LEEP or similar procedure is used to take away abnormal cells from the cervix that might be precancerous.
- Gynecologic Surgical Procedure: This involves procedures performed on the female reproductive organs to diagnose, treat, or prevent health problems like fibroids or endometriosis.
- Pregnancy Non-Stress Test: It's a routine prenatal test that uses fetal monitoring to check on your baby's health and identify potential issues.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: IUD placement is a procedure where a small device is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: This imaging technique provides detailed images of your pregnancy, helping your OB/GYN track your baby's development and identify any potential complications.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Angel:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Angel, is a specialist in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist focuses on the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Most OB/GYNs are trained in both and provide 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 initial 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 or problem.
- 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 appointment is typically scheduled for around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This 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 is something we take seriously. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and warrants evaluation. These symptoms could indicate treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Angel can diagnose the cause and discuss treatment options.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Angel performs a variety of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which often result in quicker 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 (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. This important vaccination helps prevent these potentially serious health issues.
- What are my options for birth control?
- Birth control options include hormonal methods like pills, patches, and rings; long-acting reversible contraceptives such as IUDs and implants; barrier methods like condoms; and permanent options like tubal ligation. Dr. Angel will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool used to assess the baby's growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasound provides detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but is not a substitute for the standard 2D medical ultrasound. It is not used for medical diagnosis.
