As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Gibson offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Vaginal Yeast Infection: Vaginal yeast infections, caused by an overgrowth of yeast, lead to discomfort and irritation; an OB/GYN can provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment options.
- Uterine Cancer: Uterine cancer is a disease where cancerous cells grow in the uterus, and an OB/GYN provides diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): OB/GYNs provide comprehensive care for STDs, including testing, diagnosis, treatment, and counseling on prevention strategies to protect your sexual health.
- Miscarriages: Losing a pregnancy before it reaches 20 weeks is a miscarriage, and OB/GYNs provide medical attention, emotional support, and advice on future pregnancies.
- 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.
- Cervix Carcinoma: Cervix carcinoma, or cervical cancer, is cancer of the lower part of the uterus; your OB/GYN is key in detection through screenings like Pap tests and managing treatment if diagnosed.
- Breech Position: During pregnancy, if your baby is in a breech presentation (feet or bottom down), your OB/GYN will guide you on management options to ensure a healthy delivery.
- Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), a condition where a baby's growth is slowed during pregnancy, often requiring close monitoring and sometimes early delivery.
- Preeclampsia: OB/GYNs are essential in diagnosing and treating preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and potential organ damage, ensuring the health of both the mother and baby.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: Vaginal dryness and thinning, known as atrophic vaginitis, is a common problem after menopause, and your OB/GYN can provide relief and treatment options to improve comfort.
- 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.
- Gestational Diabetes: Gestational diabetes is a type of high blood sugar that develops only during pregnancy, and your OB/GYN will help manage it to keep you and your baby healthy.
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. Gibson offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:

- Pregnancy Non-Stress Test: The pregnancy non-stress test is a painless way to assess your baby's health and detect potential problems.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Gibson:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Gibson, 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 initial visit often focuses on building a relationship and discussing healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific health concern.
- 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. Gibson can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps, or referral to a fertility specialist.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Gibson provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. This includes discussing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and providing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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 the pregnancy, determining a due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- 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. Gibson 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 used for medical diagnoses. It's an optional service.
- 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. Gibson will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
