As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Harper offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Mastodynia: Mastodynia, or breast pain, is a common condition that an OB/GYN can help diagnose and treat, often recommending strategies for pain management and lifestyle adjustments.
- Asymptomatic Post-Menopausal Status: After menopause, some women don't experience any problems; this is called asymptomatic post-menopause, and regular monitoring by an OB/GYN is still important.
- 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.
- Placenta Previa: If the placenta covers your cervix during pregnancy (placenta previa), an OB/GYN provides specialized care, including monitoring for bleeding and planning delivery.
- Breech Position: During pregnancy, if your baby is in a breech presentation (feet or bottom down), your OB/GYN will guide you on management options to ensure a healthy delivery.
- Ovarian Cysts: Many ovarian cysts are harmless and disappear on their own, but an OB/GYN can monitor them or recommend treatment if there's a cause for concern.
- Maternal Anemia: If you're pregnant and have low levels of hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells), you may have maternal anemia, something your OB/GYN will help you treat to improve your and your baby's health.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Vaginal infections like vaginitis and vaginosis can be effectively diagnosed and treated by an OB/GYN through examinations and sometimes lab tests.
- Encounters for Normal Pregnancies: OB/GYNs manage routine prenatal care for uncomplicated pregnancies, providing education and support to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
- 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.
- Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: Having diabetes before pregnancy (pregestational diabetes) needs careful management by your OB/GYN to reduce risks during pregnancy and delivery.
- Blood Disorders in Pregnancy: From monitoring blood counts to recommending treatment, your OB/GYN plays a crucial role in managing blood disorders to protect both your and your baby's health during pregnancy.
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. Harper offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:

- Mammography: A mammogram is an X-ray of your breasts used to detect early signs of breast cancer, often before you can feel any lumps.
- Menopause Evaluation and Treatment: Get personalized care to address hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and other challenges that come with menopause; treatment options will be discussed and tailored to your needs.
- Infertility Evaluation: An infertility evaluation aims to diagnose the underlying cause of infertility so a treatment plan can be developed to improve the chances of getting pregnant.
- Rh Incompatibility Screening: Rh incompatibility screening helps prevent serious health risks for your baby by identifying if your blood type is different from your baby's, potentially causing complications.
- Fetal Cardiac Monitoring: By tracking your baby's heartbeat, fetal monitoring helps identify potential problems and allows for timely interventions if needed.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Harper:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Harper, 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. Harper 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 about healthy habits and building a relationship. A pelvic exam is not usually necessary unless there's a specific concern.
- 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 visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining a due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- 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 it is not typically used for medical diagnosis. These are optional services.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Harper provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and providing 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 (boys and girls) at age 11 or 12, and can be given to young adults as well. This vaccine helps prevent these serious health issues.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Harper performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can result in a faster recovery for patients.
- 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. Harper can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
