As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Tabor offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Vaginal Prolapse: Weakening of the muscles and tissues supporting the vagina can cause a prolapse, where organs descend into the vagina; OB/GYNs specialize in managing this condition.
- Female Infertility: If you're having trouble getting pregnant, an OB/GYN can diagnose the cause of female infertility and offer various treatment options like medication, surgery, or assisted reproductive technologies.
- Cervicitis: Don't ignore unusual cervical symptoms. Cervicitis, inflammation of the cervix, is diagnosed and treated by your OB/GYN to prevent complications and restore your health.
- Ectopic Pregnancy: OB/GYNs specialize in managing ectopic pregnancies, a serious condition where the embryo develops outside the womb, potentially causing complications.
- Gonorrhea Infections: Your OB/GYN is the right doctor to see if you're experiencing symptoms of gonorrhea, a common STI, for diagnosis and treatment.
- Fallopian Tube Disorders: Your OB/GYN is the specialist to see if you're experiencing pain or fertility problems potentially related to your fallopian tubes; they can perform tests and recommend treatments.
- Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: Your OB/GYN is your partner in managing pregestational diabetes, providing care to minimize complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
- Uterine Prolapse: Your OB/GYN can help manage uterine prolapse, a condition where the uterus sags or drops from its normal position.
- 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.
- Mastodynia: Breast pain (mastodynia) can be uncomfortable, but your OB/GYN can help determine if it's related to your menstrual cycle, a benign condition, or something requiring further evaluation and treatment.
- Pelvic Abscess: OB/GYNs manage pelvic abscesses, which are painful pockets of infection near the reproductive organs, often requiring drainage and antibiotics.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Abnormal uterine bleeding can signal various health issues. Your OB/GYN can perform tests to identify the problem, such as hormonal changes or structural abnormalities, and provide effective management.
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. Tabor offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:

- Gynecologic Cancer Screening: Gynecologic cancer screening may include Pap smears, pelvic exams, and imaging tests like ultrasounds to look for abnormalities.
- 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.
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: This ultrasound test helps your doctor assess the health of your uterus and fallopian tubes by gently inflating them with fluid and using sound waves to create an image.
- Fetal Cardiac Screening: This test uses sound waves to create images of your baby's heart, allowing doctors to detect any potential problems early on.
- Ovarian Cancer Screening: Regular ovarian cancer screening can help identify this disease early on, leading to better treatment outcomes.
- Hysteroscopy: During a hysteroscopy, your doctor can diagnose and treat certain uterine conditions, such as removing polyps or scar tissue, all within a single procedure.
- 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.
- Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove a woman's uterus through small incisions, often used to treat conditions like fibroids or endometriosis.
- Pregnancy Care: Pregnancy care involves regular checkups and tests to monitor your health and your baby's development throughout your pregnancy.
- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Vaginal delivery is the natural process of giving birth, where the baby passes through the vagina.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Tabor:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Tabor, 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. Tabor provides comprehensive 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.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Tabor performs a variety of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, for faster recovery times.
- What are my options for birth control?
- Birth control options include hormonal methods like pills, patch, and ring; long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as IUDs and implants; barrier methods like condoms; and permanent options like tubal ligation. Dr. Tabor will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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), a virus that 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. Tabor 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. Tabor 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 tool used to assess the baby's growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasound provides detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but it's not used for medical diagnosis.
