As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Roberts offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Pelvic Abscess: OB/GYNs manage pelvic abscesses, which are painful pockets of infection near the reproductive organs, often requiring drainage and antibiotics.
- Pregnancy Hemorrhoids: Pregnancy hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum and anus that are common during pregnancy, and your OB/GYN can recommend ways to manage discomfort and prevent complications.
- 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.
- Cervix Carcinoma: Cervical cancer is a disease where abnormal cells in the cervix grow and can spread to other parts of the body, and OB/GYNs provide crucial diagnosis, treatment, and management.
- Encounters for Normal Pregnancies: OB/GYNs manage routine prenatal care for uncomplicated pregnancies, providing education and support to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
- Ectopic Pregnancy: Your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat an ectopic pregnancy, a dangerous condition where the fertilized egg grows in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus.
- Cervicitis: Experiencing unusual vaginal discharge or bleeding? Cervicitis, an infection or irritation of the cervix, could be the cause, and your OB/GYN can provide the necessary testing and treatment.
- Breast Lump: A breast lump is a solid mass or area of thickened tissue in the breast that may be painless or tender, and an OB/GYN can evaluate it to determine the cause and recommend treatment.
- Ovarian Cysts: Many ovarian cysts are harmless and disappear on their own, but an OB/GYN can monitor them or recommend treatment if there's a cause for concern.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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. Roberts offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Delivery (VBAC): VBAC involves trying to deliver a baby vaginally after a prior cesarean section, under close medical supervision.
- Vaginal Hysterectomy: If you have uterine issues like abnormal bleeding or prolapse, a vaginal hysterectomy might be suggested; it involves removing the uterus through the vagina.
- Nuchal Translucency Screening: Nuchal translucency screening is an ultrasound test performed early in pregnancy to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in the baby.
- First Trimester Screening: First trimester screening is a group of tests offered during your first three months of pregnancy to check for potential health problems in your baby.
- Pregnancy Test: Pregnancy tests are available at home or through your doctor to help you determine if you're expecting.

- Fetal Monitoring: Fetal monitoring tracks your baby's heartbeat and other vital signs during pregnancy to ensure a healthy development.
- Fetal Cardiac Monitoring: This non-invasive procedure uses sensors to monitor your baby's heart rate, providing important information about their health throughout pregnancy and labor.
- Tubal Ligation: Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure to permanently prevent pregnancy by blocking or cutting the fallopian tubes.
- STD Screening: Regular STD screenings are important for preventing the spread of infections and protecting your sexual health.
- 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.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Roberts:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Roberts, 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. Roberts 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 visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This initial 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 medical problem.
- 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 evaluation by a healthcare professional right away. Dr. Roberts will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Roberts 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 can often result in a quicker recovery.
- 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.
- 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. Roberts can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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 isn't used for medical diagnoses. These are optional services.
- 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. Roberts will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
