As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Parker offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure.
- High Risk Pregnancy: If you have health conditions like diabetes or hypertension, or experience pregnancy complications, your OB/GYN will manage your high-risk pregnancy to ensure the best outcomes.
- Yeast Infections: Yeast infections, caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the vagina, lead to discomfort and irritation; an OB/GYN provides accurate diagnosis and effective treatment options.
- Pap Smear Abnormalities: If your Pap smear comes back abnormal, it doesn't automatically mean you have cancer, but your OB/GYN will order more tests to find out what's causing the abnormality.
- Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Certain cervical changes, like benign growths or structural issues, are considered noninflammatory cervical disorders; your OB/GYN can monitor them or recommend treatment if needed.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: If you're experiencing vaginal dryness, burning, or itching, especially after menopause, it might be atrophic vaginitis, which your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat with various methods.
- Uterine Prolapse: Uterine prolapse is when the uterus slips down into the vagina, sometimes causing discomfort or pressure.
- Endometriosis: With endometriosis, tissue that normally lines the uterus grows in other areas of the body, leading to painful periods and other issues, treatable with various strategies from your OB/GYN.
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus): HPV is a common virus that can infect the genitals and cause health problems, including cervical cancer, and your OB/GYN can provide screening and treatment.
- Preeclampsia: If you develop dangerously high blood pressure during pregnancy, it could be preeclampsia, requiring close observation and treatment from your OB/GYN.
- Multiple Gestation: If you're pregnant with multiples, your OB/GYN will help you navigate the unique challenges, offering frequent check-ups and personalized care to ensure a safe delivery.
- Gestational Diabetes: If you're pregnant and have gestational diabetes, your OB/GYN will work with you to monitor your blood sugar levels and ensure a healthy pregnancy and 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. Parker offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Birth Control: An OB/GYN can help you choose from various birth control options, including pills, IUDs, and implants.
- Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Knowing your genetic risk for breast cancer through screening can inform decisions about preventative steps like increased mammograms or even preventative surgeries.
- Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Delivery (VBAC): VBAC is attempting a vaginal birth after having a previous cesarean delivery.
- Pregnancy Non-Stress Test: It's a routine prenatal test that uses fetal monitoring to check on your baby's health and identify potential issues.
- Nuchal Translucency Screening: This prenatal test measures fluid at the back of the baby's neck to help identify a higher chance of conditions like Down syndrome.
- Fetal Ultrasound: This non-invasive test uses sound waves to generate images of your unborn baby, giving you and your doctor valuable information throughout your pregnancy.
- 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.
- STD Screening: STD screening tests check for sexually transmitted infections to help identify and treat infections early.
- C-Section: C-sections are performed to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby during childbirth.
- Incontinence Sling Procedure: Women with stress urinary incontinence, where leakage occurs with activities like coughing or sneezing, may benefit from this minimally invasive surgery.
- Rh Incompatibility Screening: A simple blood test, Rh incompatibility screening, helps determine whether you need treatment during pregnancy to prevent potential problems related to blood type differences between you and your baby.
- 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.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Parker:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Parker, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist focuses on the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Parker 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 initial visit is often a conversation about healthy habits and building a relationship with your provider. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern or reason.
- 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. Parker will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- 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 requires evaluation. Dr. Parker 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. Parker can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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 appointment is typically scheduled around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This visit is important for confirming your pregnancy, determining your due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- While some cramping is common during menstruation, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal. These symptoms could indicate underlying conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Parker can diagnose the cause and recommend appropriate treatment options.
