As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Haddox offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- 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.
- Ectopic Pregnancy: If a fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube or elsewhere outside the uterus, it's called an ectopic pregnancy, requiring urgent care from your OB/GYN.
- Ovarian Cysts: Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop on a woman's ovaries, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat them, often through monitoring or minimally invasive procedures.
- Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is when a baby in the uterus is not growing at the expected rate; your OB/GYN can help identify potential problems and develop a care plan.
- Miscarriages: Losing a pregnancy before it reaches 20 weeks is a miscarriage, and OB/GYNs provide medical attention, emotional support, and advice on future pregnancies.
- Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: Your OB/GYN is your partner in managing pregestational diabetes, providing care to minimize complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
- High Risk Pregnancy: A high-risk pregnancy means there are extra health concerns for the mother or baby during pregnancy, and an OB/GYN provides specialized care to manage potential complications.
- Blood Disorders in Pregnancy: Your OB/GYN can identify and manage blood-related problems that may arise during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, helping you have a safer delivery.
- Coagulation Defects in Pregnancy and Postpartum: OB/GYNs are trained to identify and manage blood clotting issues in pregnant and postpartum women, minimizing risks and ensuring healthy outcomes.
- Uterine Fibroids: OB/GYNs diagnose and treat uterine fibroids, offering various options like medication, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery depending on the severity and symptoms.
- Uterine Cancer: An OB/GYN plays a crucial role in the prevention, detection, and treatment of uterine cancer, offering regular check-ups and managing various treatment approaches.
- Genital Herpes: Painful sores or blisters in the genital area could be genital herpes, a sexually transmitted infection that OB/GYNs diagnose and treat, offering medication and advice for managing the condition.
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. Haddox offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Rh Incompatibility Screening: This blood test checks for Rh factor incompatibility between you and your baby, which could lead to complications if left untreated during pregnancy.
- Infertility Evaluation: This process involves medical history review, physical exams, and tests to assess the reproductive health of both partners, helping determine the cause of infertility.
- Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: By examining your genes, genetic screening can predict your likelihood of developing breast cancer, empowering you to make informed health choices.
- Fetal Cardiac Monitoring: Fetal cardiac monitoring tracks your baby's heartbeat during pregnancy to check for any irregularities.
- 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.
- Pregnancy Test: A pregnancy test detects the presence of a pregnancy hormone in your urine or blood.
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: Hysterosalpingo sonography is a non-invasive imaging test used to check for problems with your uterus and fallopian tubes that could be causing fertility issues or other reproductive concerns.
- Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: Vaginal prolapse surgery repairs weakened vaginal muscles and tissues that have fallen or protruded from their normal position, relieving discomfort and improving bladder and bowel function.
- Pregnancy Non-Stress Test: It's a routine prenatal test that uses fetal monitoring to check on your baby's health and identify potential issues.
- Amniocentesis: During amniocentesis, a needle is gently inserted into the pregnant belly to collect fluid that surrounds the baby, helping diagnose potential health problems.
- Vaginosis Screening: During a vaginosis screening, your doctor will take a sample from your vagina to look for abnormal bacteria and provide appropriate care.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Haddox:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Haddox, is a physician trained in both obstetrics (pregnancy, labor, and childbirth) and gynecology (overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception). They provide 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 visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This first visit is often just a conversation to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits, and a pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific problem.
- 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. Haddox 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 ultrasounds provide detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but are not used for medical diagnosis. These are optional services.
- 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 around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining your due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Haddox provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. We discuss the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and provide screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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 immediate evaluation. Dr. Haddox will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- 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 can cause 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.
