As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Neal offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Endometriosis: Endometriosis is a disorder characterized by the growth of uterine-like tissue outside the uterus, often causing pelvic pain and other symptoms that an OB/GYN can help manage.
- Menstrual Disorders: Your OB/GYN is the right doctor to see if you're experiencing problems with your period, like changes in flow, frequency, or pain, as they can help manage your menstrual health.
- Preeclampsia: OB/GYNs are essential in diagnosing and treating preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and potential organ damage, ensuring the health of both the mother and baby.
- Vaginal Cancer: Vaginal cancer is a disease where cancerous cells form in the vagina, and an OB/GYN is crucial for diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring.
- Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure.
- Eclampsia: During pregnancy, eclampsia causes dangerously high blood pressure and seizures, requiring immediate care from an OB/GYN to protect both the mother and baby.
- Tubal Pregnancy: If a fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube instead of the womb, it's called a tubal pregnancy, a serious condition requiring your OB/GYN's expertise for diagnosis and treatment.
- Breast Lump: OB/GYNs are trained to detect and manage breast lumps; they can explain the next steps, offer reassurance, and coordinate your care with other specialists if necessary.
- Ovarian Cysts: Your OB/GYN is the best healthcare provider to detect, manage, and treat ovarian cysts, ensuring your reproductive health is protected.
- Adenomyosis: Adenomyosis is a condition where the inner lining of the uterus grows into its muscular layer, leading to painful periods and heavy menstrual bleeding; an OB/GYN provides diagnosis and management.
- Ovarian Cancer: Ovarian cancer develops in the ovaries and is diagnosed and treated by OB/GYNs who provide comprehensive care throughout the process.
- Maternal Anemia: During pregnancy, anemia means a lack of iron or other nutrients resulting in low red blood cell count, which your OB/GYN can diagnose and manage with dietary changes, supplements, or medication.
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.

- Laparoscopic Surgical Procedure: Laparoscopic surgery allows doctors to examine and treat conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, or ectopic pregnancies with smaller cuts and faster recovery times.
- Hysterectomy: This surgery removes the uterus, sometimes including the cervix and nearby tissues, to treat various health issues.
- Salpingo Oopherectomy: If you have a high risk of ovarian cancer or other gynecological conditions, your doctor might recommend a salpingo-oophorectomy.
- Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: This test analyzes your DNA to see if you have gene mutations linked to a higher chance of getting breast cancer.
- Pregnancy Test: Whether you suspect you're pregnant or need confirmation, a pregnancy test can give you peace of mind.

- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Vaginal delivery is a common and often preferred method of childbirth, aiming for a safe and natural birth experience.
- 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.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: During pregnancy, an obstetric ultrasound allows doctors to see the baby, assess its development, and identify potential issues.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Neal:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Neal, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist specializes in the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Neal 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 to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern or medical issue.
- 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. Neal can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- 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. Neal 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 have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is something we take very seriously. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal and should be evaluated. These symptoms can sometimes indicate treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids, and Dr. Neal can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- 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. Neal will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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. Dr. Neal will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
