As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Gibbons offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Genital Warts: If you have genital warts, an OB/GYN can help determine the best treatment to remove them and discuss ways to prevent spreading the infection.
- Adenomyosis: If uterine tissue grows into the muscle of your uterus, causing painful and heavy periods, you may have adenomyosis, a condition treatable by your OB/GYN.
- Encounters for Normal Pregnancies: Normal pregnancy visits with an OB/GYN focus on monitoring fetal development and the mother's overall well-being.
- Twin Pregnancy: Having twins means expecting two babies instead of one, and your OB/GYN will provide extra monitoring and support throughout your pregnancy and delivery to manage the increased risks.
- Blood Disorders in Pregnancy: Your OB/GYN can identify and manage blood-related problems that may arise during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, helping you have a safer delivery.
- Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: Weakened pelvic floor muscles can lead to vaginal and pelvic prolapse, causing organs to protrude into the vagina; an OB/GYN offers various treatment options.
- Female Infertility: Struggling to conceive? An OB/GYN can conduct thorough tests to identify the reasons for infertility and recommend therapies, from lifestyle changes to advanced fertility treatments.
- Fallopian Tube Disorders: If you suspect a fallopian tube issue causing pain, infertility, or other symptoms, an OB/GYN can evaluate your condition and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Miscarriages: If a pregnancy ends naturally before 20 weeks, it's called a miscarriage; OB/GYNs offer medical care and guidance following this experience.
- Preeclampsia: Preeclampsia affects pregnant women by raising blood pressure and impacting organ function; your OB/GYN is crucial for diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): OB/GYNs treat urinary tract infections (UTIs), providing diagnosis, medication, and advice to prevent future infections.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Heavy, prolonged, or unpredictable menstrual bleeding is abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), a condition best addressed by an OB/GYN who can pinpoint the cause and create a personalized treatment plan.
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. Gibbons offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Colpopexy: For women experiencing organ prolapse, colpopexy offers a surgical solution to restore the normal position of the uterus or vagina and improve their quality of life.
- Vaginosis Screening: Vaginosis screening is a quick check-up that can help determine if you have an infection needing treatment and to prevent future issues.
- Gynecologic Cancer Screening: Regular gynecologic cancer screenings can help prevent deaths from these cancers by catching them in their early stages.
- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Doctors assess whether a vaginal delivery or VBAC is appropriate based on the individual's medical history and current pregnancy.
- Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: This surgery addresses a condition where pelvic organs (like the uterus or bladder) bulge into the vagina, causing symptoms like pelvic pressure or urinary problems; it aims to restore organ support and reduce symptoms.
- Colposcopy: Colposcopy is a procedure where a doctor uses a special magnifying instrument to examine your cervix for abnormal cells.
- Fetal Cardiac Monitoring: This test uses a device to listen to and record your baby's heart rate, helping your doctor monitor their health.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: This procedure involves a doctor inserting a small device into your uterus for long-term birth control, offering a safe and convenient option.
- Oophorectomy: An oophorectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or both ovaries.
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: A hysterosalpingogram is a quick procedure using ultrasound and a sterile fluid to evaluate the uterus and fallopian tubes for any blockages or abnormalities that could affect fertility.
- Myomectomy: Experiencing heavy bleeding or pain from uterine fibroids? A myomectomy surgically removes these growths to lessen your symptoms.
- Salpingo Oopherectomy: If you have a high risk of ovarian cancer or other gynecological conditions, your doctor might recommend a salpingo-oophorectomy.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Gibbons:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Gibbons, 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. Gibbons is trained in both and provides 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 first 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 medical issue.
- What are my options for birth control?
- Birth control options include hormonal methods like pills, patches, and rings; long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as IUDs and implants; barrier methods like condoms; and permanent options like tubal ligation. Dr. Gibbons will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Gibbons 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 can result in a quicker recovery.
- 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.
- I found a lump in my breast. Should I call my OB/GYN?
- Yes. Most breast lumps are benign, but any new lump or change warrants immediate evaluation. Dr. Gibbons will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- 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. Gibbons can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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 ultrasounds provide detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but are not typically used for medical diagnosis. They are an optional service.
