As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Reyes offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Breast Abscess: A painful, pus-filled lump in your breast might be a breast abscess, a condition your OB/GYN can effectively diagnose and treat with medication or a minor procedure.
- Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: If you have a painful infection near your fallopian tubes and ovaries (a tubo-ovarian abscess), your OB/GYN can provide diagnosis, treatment with medication and/or surgery, and monitor your recovery.
- Placenta Previa: Placenta previa is a pregnancy complication where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, potentially causing bleeding and requiring specialized OB/GYN care.
- Tubal Pregnancy: An OB/GYN specializes in diagnosing and treating ectopic pregnancies (tubal pregnancies), which are dangerous and require prompt medical intervention.
- Breast Lump: Finding a lump in your breast can be concerning, but your OB/GYN can perform exams and order imaging tests to diagnose the lump and provide appropriate care.
- Genital Herpes: Genital herpes is a viral infection affecting the genitals, causing painful sores and blisters; your OB/GYN can provide testing, treatment options, and counseling to help manage this STI.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): If you experience symptoms like frequent, painful urination, your OB/GYN can determine if you have a UTI and offer effective treatment.
- Uterine Carcinoma: Cancer of the uterus, known as uterine carcinoma, is diagnosed and managed by OB/GYNs using various methods like surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
- Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Noninflammatory cervical disorders are problems with the cervix that aren't caused by infection, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat these issues, often with minimally invasive procedures.
- Ectopic Pregnancy: An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube, and needs immediate medical attention from an OB/GYN.
- Cervical Cancer: Cervical cancer develops in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus, and your OB/GYN is crucial for prevention, early detection, and management of this cancer.
- Gynecologic Cancer: If you're diagnosed with a cancer of the female reproductive system, your OB/GYN will coordinate your care, often working with other specialists.
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. Reyes offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Salpingo Oopherectomy: If you have a high risk of ovarian cancer or other gynecological conditions, your doctor might recommend a salpingo-oophorectomy.
- Colpopexy: For women experiencing organ prolapse, colpopexy offers a surgical solution to restore the normal position of the uterus or vagina and improve their quality of life.
- Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): If abnormal cells are found on your cervix, this procedure might remove them to prevent cancer.
- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: VBAC, or vaginal birth after cesarean, is attempting a vaginal delivery after a previous C-section.
- Tubal Ligation: This surgery involves severing or blocking the fallopian tubes to prevent fertilization and future pregnancies.
- Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: This surgery involves removing the uterus using a laparoscope (a thin, lighted instrument) and small incisions, resulting in less pain and scarring than traditional surgery.
- 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.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: IUD placement is a quick procedure to insert a small device into your uterus for effective, long-term birth control that can be easily reversed.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections Screening: Regular STI testing can prevent serious health problems by detecting infections before symptoms appear, allowing for prompt treatment and reducing the risk of complications.
- Hysterectomy: A hysterectomy is major surgery used to treat uterine diseases and conditions; it permanently ends the ability to have children.
- Hysteroscopy: If you're experiencing abnormal bleeding or other uterine issues, a hysteroscopy might be used to find the cause and potentially remove any abnormalities.
- Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: This surgery addresses a condition where pelvic organs (like the uterus or bladder) bulge into the vagina, causing symptoms like pelvic pressure or urinary problems; it aims to restore organ support and reduce symptoms.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Reyes:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Reyes, is 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. Reyes is trained in both and 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 typically not needed unless there is a specific concern.
- 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. Reyes can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Reyes 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 quicker recovery for patients.
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Pap smear guidelines have changed. For most women ages 21-29, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years. Women ages 30-65 should typically have a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Reyes 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 evaluate fetal growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasounds provide detailed, photo-like images, but are not used for medical diagnoses and are an optional service for keepsake purposes.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Reyes provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. She discusses the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and provides screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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. Reyes will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
