As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Walters offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Ectopic Pregnancy: An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube, and needs immediate medical attention from an OB/GYN.
- 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.
- Vaginal Yeast Infection: Yeast infections are common vaginal infections with symptoms like itching and discharge; your OB/GYN offers effective diagnosis and treatment to alleviate these symptoms.
- 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.
- Menstrual Disorders: If your menstrual cycle is causing you problems whether it's too heavy, too light, too painful, or just unpredictable an OB/GYN can help you find relief and effective management strategies.
- Rectovaginal Fistula: A rectovaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between the rectum and vagina, causing leakage of stool into the vagina; OB/GYNs work with colorectal surgeons to diagnose and treat this condition.
- High Risk Pregnancy: A high-risk pregnancy means there are extra health concerns for the mother or baby during pregnancy, and an OB/GYN provides specialized care to manage potential complications.
- 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.
- Genital Herpes: Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) causing sores or blisters on the genitals, and OB/GYNs provide diagnosis, treatment, and management of this condition.
- Vaginal Prolapse: Vaginal prolapse is when the vagina's supporting tissues weaken, causing the vaginal walls or other pelvic organs to bulge or drop into the vagina.
- Gestational Diabetes: Your OB/GYN plays a key role in diagnosing and managing gestational diabetes, a pregnancy-related complication of high blood sugar, to help ensure a healthy outcome for you and your baby.
- 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.
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. Walters offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Open Hysterectomy: If you have a uterine condition that requires removal, an open hysterectomy is a surgical option involving a larger abdominal incision, allowing direct access to the uterus.
- Hysteroscopy: A hysteroscopy allows your doctor to visually inspect the inside of your uterus, helping diagnose and treat conditions affecting your reproductive health.
- 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.
- Pregnancy Ultrasound: Expect to lie on your back while a technician applies a gel and moves a device over your belly to produce images of your baby during a pregnancy ultrasound.
- Incontinence Sling Procedure: If you experience urinary incontinence, a sling procedure might be a surgical option to improve bladder control.

- Colposcopy: Colposcopy is a painless procedure that involves a close-up view of your cervix to check for any unusual changes, helping your doctor determine the next steps in your care.
- Fetal Ultrasound: A fetal ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of your baby in the womb, helping your doctor monitor its growth and development.
- Vulvectomy: Women with certain vulvar conditions, like cancer or severe infections, may need a vulvectomy, which is a surgical procedure to remove the affected area.
- Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): This procedure removes abnormal tissue from the cervix, often to prevent or treat precancerous or cancerous changes.
- Hysterectomy: If other treatments fail to resolve uterine problems, a hysterectomy might be recommended to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Walters:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Walters, 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. Walters 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 problem.
- 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. Walters will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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. Walters will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Walters provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. She discusses the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and provides 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 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.
- 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, a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years is preferred. Dr. Walters will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- While some cramping is common, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Walters can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
