As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Miller offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Venous Thrombosis and Phlebitis in Pregnancy: OB/GYNs play a critical role in managing venous thrombosis and phlebitis, dangerous blood clots that can occur during pregnancy, ensuring both your and your baby's well-being.
- Vulvar Leukoplakia: Vulvar leukoplakia is a condition causing white patches on the vulva, and an OB/GYN can diagnose it and recommend treatment options.
- 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.
- 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.
- Adenomyosis: Experiencing intensely painful and heavy periods? Adenomyosis, a condition where uterine tissue grows into the uterine muscle, may be the cause, and your OB/GYN can help you find relief.
- Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition where organs such as the bladder or rectum descend into the vagina; your OB/GYN can assess your condition and recommend appropriate care.
- Breast Atrophy: If you've noticed a decrease in breast size and fullness, it could be breast atrophy, a condition your OB/GYN can evaluate and discuss potential treatment approaches if needed.
- Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: A tubo-ovarian abscess is a serious infection affecting the female reproductive organs; your OB/GYN is the specialist to manage this condition, using antibiotics and potentially surgery.
- Vaginal Cancer: OB/GYNs play a key role in detecting and treating vaginal cancer, a type of cancer that affects the vagina, through exams, biopsies, and other procedures.
- Vaginal Yeast Infection: A vaginal yeast infection is a common fungal infection in the vagina that causes itching, burning, and discharge; your OB/GYN can diagnose it and prescribe medication to clear it up.
- Asymptomatic Post-Menopausal Status: This refers to a woman who has completed menopause without experiencing symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, or vaginal dryness, and her OB/GYN monitors her overall health.
- Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: Your OB/GYN is a great resource for understanding and managing the physical and emotional changes associated with menopause and the years that follow.
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. Miller offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Vulvectomy: A vulvectomy is surgery to remove all or part of the vulva, the outer part of the female genitals, often to treat cancer or precancerous conditions.
- Fetal Ultrasound: Fetal ultrasound scans are used to detect potential problems with your pregnancy early on, enabling timely intervention and better outcomes.
- Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: If you experience a bulging feeling in your vagina or have trouble emptying your bladder or bowel, vaginal prolapse surgery may be an option to correct the anatomical problem and improve your quality of life.
- Hysteroscopy: A hysteroscopy allows your doctor to visually inspect the inside of your uterus, helping diagnose and treat conditions affecting your reproductive health.
- First Trimester Screening: During your first trimester, this screening uses blood tests and an ultrasound to estimate the chances of chromosomal abnormalities in your developing baby.
- Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Delivery (VBAC): A VBAC is a planned vaginal birth for women who previously had a cesarean birth.
- Pregnancy Non-Stress Test: The pregnancy non-stress test is a painless way to assess your baby's health and detect potential problems.
- Endocervical Curettage: An endocervical curettage (ECC) is a procedure where a doctor gently scrapes cells from the cervix's inner lining to test for abnormalities or infections.
- Destruction or Excision of Vaginal Lesions: To diagnose or treat conditions like precancerous or cancerous growths, doctors may perform a procedure to remove or destroy abnormal vaginal tissue.
- Tubal Ligation: If you're certain you don't want more children, a tubal ligation is a permanent surgical option to stop your ability to conceive.
- Nuchal Translucency Screening: Nuchal translucency screening is an ultrasound test performed early in pregnancy to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in the baby.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections Screening: Sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening tests check for common STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhea, helping diagnose infections early for effective treatment.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Miller:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Miller, 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. Miller 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 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 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. Miller will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Miller provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing HRT options, and performing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary medical tool used to assess the baby's growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasounds provide detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but are not typically used for medical diagnoses.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is a concern, and it's important to have it evaluated. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal. Dr. Miller can diagnose the cause, which could include treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and offer solutions.
- 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'm pregnant. When should I schedule my first prenatal appointment?
- Call our office as soon as you have a positive home pregnancy test. The first prenatal visit is typically scheduled for 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.
