As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Davis offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- 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.
- Menstrual Disorders: Irregular, painful, or excessively heavy periods are examples of menstrual disorders, and an OB/GYN provides care to manage these conditions.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: OB/GYNs specialize in women's reproductive health, so they are the best healthcare providers to help you manage and treat vaginitis or vaginosis, which affect the vagina.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: Lower estrogen levels can cause atrophic vaginitis, leading to discomfort and changes in the vagina; your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat this condition effectively.
- Chronic Vaginitis: Your OB/GYN is the best resource for managing chronic vaginitis, a condition characterized by ongoing inflammation and irritation of the vagina that requires medical attention.
- Uterine Fibroids: Heavy periods, pelvic pain, or frequent urination might be signs of uterine fibroids, which your OB/GYN can evaluate and create a personalized treatment plan for.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): UTIs cause painful urination and other symptoms, and an OB/GYN can provide accurate diagnosis and prescribe appropriate medication.
- Breast Abscess: OB/GYNs can diagnose and manage breast abscesses, which are painful lumps often caused by infection, by providing treatment to relieve symptoms and prevent complications.
- Uterine Prolapse: Uterine prolapse is when the uterus slips down into the vagina, sometimes causing discomfort or pressure.
- 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.
- Ovarian Cysts: OB/GYNs are the specialists who diagnose and manage ovarian cysts, which are fluid-filled pockets on the ovaries that may cause pain or other symptoms.
- Fallopian Tube Disorders: Fallopian tube disorders can prevent pregnancy or lead to complications, and an OB/GYN provides comprehensive care for diagnosis and treatment, including surgery if needed.
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. Davis offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Open Hysterectomy: If you have a uterine condition that requires removal, an open hysterectomy is a surgical option involving a larger abdominal incision, allowing direct access to the uterus.
- Hysterectomy: This surgery removes the uterus, sometimes including the cervix and nearby tissues, to treat various health issues.
- Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Genetic screening can help determine if you're at increased risk for breast cancer, allowing for early detection and preventative measures.
- Tubal Ligation: It's a type of birth control where a doctor closes or cuts the tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus, making pregnancy impossible.
- 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.
- Gynecologic Cancer Screening: Gynecologic cancer screening involves tests to detect cancers of the female reproductive system early, when treatment is most effective.
- STD Screening: STD screening involves simple tests that can provide peace of mind and allow for early treatment if needed.
- Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): To diagnose or treat cervical abnormalities, a portion of the cervix may be surgically removed during this procedure.
- Operative Hysteroscopy: This procedure involves a small telescope inserted into the uterus to visually examine and perform minor surgeries to correct issues within the uterine cavity.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections Screening: During an STI screening, your doctor will discuss your sexual history and conduct appropriate tests to identify any infections, ensuring you receive the necessary treatment and counseling.
- 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.
- Mammography: To screen for breast cancer, a mammogram takes pictures of your breast tissue to identify any suspicious areas that might need further investigation.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Davis:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Davis, 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. Davis 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 about healthy habits and establishing a relationship with the provider. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern or medical issue.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Davis provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause. This includes managing symptoms, discussing HRT options, and performing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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.
- 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 is preferred every 5 years. Dr. Davis will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool used to assess fetal growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasound provides detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but is not used for medical diagnosis. These images are not typically needed for medical decisions.
- 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 for around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This first visit is crucial for confirming the pregnancy, determining a due date, and planning a healthy pregnancy.
- 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. Davis can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
