As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Bartels offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: If you have diabetes before getting pregnant, your OB/GYN will work with you to monitor your blood sugar and plan for a healthy pregnancy.
- Placenta Previa: Placenta previa is a pregnancy complication where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, potentially causing bleeding and requiring specialized OB/GYN care.
- Tubal Pregnancy: An OB/GYN specializes in diagnosing and treating ectopic pregnancies (tubal pregnancies), which are dangerous and require prompt medical intervention.
- 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.
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus): HPV, or human papillomavirus, is a common infection that can sometimes cause cancer; your OB/GYN offers testing and treatments to help you stay healthy.
- Gonorrhea Infections: Gonorrhea is a treatable bacterial infection of the reproductive tract; your OB/GYN will offer testing and appropriate antibiotics.
- Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Your OB/GYN can help manage noninflammatory cervical conditions, such as cervical ectropion or polyps, which are abnormalities that may not cause symptoms but can be identified during routine checkups.
- 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.
- 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.
- Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) means a baby isn't growing as expected in the womb, and an OB/GYN monitors the baby's growth and helps ensure a healthy delivery.
- 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.
- 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.
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. Bartels offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Myomectomy: If you have uterine fibroids causing problems, a myomectomy is a surgery to remove them, helping to improve your quality of life.
- Fetal Cardiac Screening: Fetal cardiac screening helps identify heart defects or abnormalities in your unborn baby's heart.
- Infertility Evaluation: Through blood tests, imaging, and other procedures, an infertility evaluation helps determine whether the cause of infertility is related to the woman, the man, or a combination of factors.
- Hysterectomy: This surgery removes the uterus, sometimes including the cervix and nearby tissues, to treat various health issues.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: An obstetric ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of a developing baby in the womb, checking its growth and health.
- Ovarian Cancer Screening: Ovarian cancer screening uses tests to check for early signs of ovarian cancer, even before symptoms appear.
- First Trimester Screening: It's a set of tests done between 10 and 13 weeks of pregnancy that helps identify potential issues like birth defects, giving you options for further testing and planning.
- Hysteroscopy: If you're experiencing abnormal bleeding or other uterine issues, a hysteroscopy might be used to find the cause and potentially remove any abnormalities.
- Rh Incompatibility Screening: Rh incompatibility screening tests your blood to see if you might have problems during pregnancy related to your blood type and your baby's blood type.
- Colpopexy: This surgery uses stitches or mesh to support the pelvic organs and reduce discomfort from prolapse.
- Oophorectomy: Sometimes, an oophorectomy is performed to reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, especially in women with a high risk.
- Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: For women with pelvic organ prolapse, surgery provides a solution to repair the weakened tissues and restore the organs to their correct position within the pelvis, thereby relieving the associated symptoms.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Bartels:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- Dr. Bartels is an OB/GYN, meaning she specializes in both obstetrics (pregnancy, labor, and childbirth) and gynecology (overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception). She is trained to 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, and 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.
- 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, the preferred approach is a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Bartels will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- 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. Bartels 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. Bartels 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.
- 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. Bartels will discuss your lifestyle and health history to help you select the best method for you.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is something we take very seriously. While some cramping is normal, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not. Dr. Bartels can evaluate the cause, which could be treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and recommend solutions.
