As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Cipriano offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: Having diabetes before pregnancy (pregestational diabetes) needs careful management by your OB/GYN to reduce risks during pregnancy and delivery.
- Fallopian Tube Disorders: Fallopian tube disorders can prevent pregnancy or lead to complications, and an OB/GYN provides comprehensive care for diagnosis and treatment, including surgery if needed.
- Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: Experiencing pelvic pain and fever? A tubo-ovarian abscess might be the cause, and your OB/GYN is the right doctor to diagnose and treat it, often using antibiotics and monitoring for complications.
- 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.
- Multiple Gestation: An OB/GYN is your go-to doctor for managing a multiple pregnancy, offering extra monitoring and planning for the complexities of carrying more than one baby.
- Placenta Previa: In placenta previa, the placenta attaches low in the uterus, potentially blocking the cervix. Your OB/GYN will manage this high-risk pregnancy to keep you and your baby safe.
- Uterine Cancer: If you're diagnosed with uterine cancer, your OB/GYN will work with you to create a treatment plan that might include surgery, radiation, or other therapies.
- Endometriosis: Your OB/GYN is the best healthcare provider to see if you suspect endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to your uterine lining grows outside your uterus, causing painful periods, heavy bleeding, and other symptoms.
- Pap Smear Abnormalities: A Pap smear abnormality indicates that cells from your cervix show some irregularities, and your OB/GYN will help determine if further tests are needed.
- Rectovaginal Fistula: If stool leaks into the vagina due to an abnormal opening between the rectum and vagina (a rectovaginal fistula), an OB/GYN can help coordinate care with other specialists for treatment.
- Uterine Fibroids: OB/GYNs diagnose and treat uterine fibroids, offering various options like medication, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery depending on the severity and symptoms.
- Female Infertility: OB/GYNs are experts in diagnosing and treating infertility in women, investigating factors such as ovulation problems, blocked fallopian tubes, or uterine 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. Cipriano offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Ovarian Cancer Screening: Ovarian cancer screenings aim to find ovarian cancer in its early stages when treatment is most effective.
- Birth Control: An OB/GYN can help you choose from various birth control options, including pills, IUDs, and implants.
- Pregnancy Non-Stress Test: This simple test tracks your baby's heart rate to ensure it's healthy and getting enough oxygen.
- Infertility Evaluation: Infertility evaluation is a series of tests and procedures to find out why a couple is having trouble getting pregnant.
- 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.
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: Hysterosalpingo sonography (or SIS) is a type of ultrasound that uses a saline solution to check the shape of your uterus and if your fallopian tubes are open.
- Mammography: Mammography is a screening test that uses low-dose X-rays to check for breast abnormalities, helping find breast cancer early when it's most treatable.
- Menopause Evaluation and Treatment: This service assesses your menopausal symptoms and develops a personalized plan to alleviate discomfort and improve your well-being during menopause.
- 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.
- Tubal Ligation: It's a type of birth control where a doctor closes or cuts the tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus, making pregnancy impossible.
- Hysterectomy: This surgery removes the uterus, sometimes including the cervix and nearby tissues, to treat various health issues.
- Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Genetic screening for breast cancer helps identify your risk of developing the disease based on your genes.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Cipriano:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Cipriano, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. Gynecologists specialize in the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. Obstetricians specialize in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Cipriano 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.
- 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 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 activities is not normal and should be evaluated. These symptoms can indicate treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Cipriano can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Cipriano provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. We discuss the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and provide screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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. Cipriano can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Cipriano 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 often result in faster recovery times.
- 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 standard 2D ultrasound in medical diagnosis.
