As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Spears offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- 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.
- Coagulation Defects in Pregnancy and Postpartum: Coagulation defects are blood clotting disorders that can cause excessive bleeding during pregnancy and after childbirth, and OB/GYNs help manage these risks and complications.
- Fallopian Tube Disorders: Fallopian tube disorders affect the tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat issues like blockages or infections that may impact fertility or cause pain.
- Ovarian Cysts: Your OB/GYN is the best healthcare provider to detect, manage, and treat ovarian cysts, ensuring your reproductive health is protected.
- Venous Thrombosis and Phlebitis in Pregnancy: During pregnancy, you're at higher risk for developing blood clots called venous thrombosis and phlebitis; your OB/GYN is trained to identify and treat these dangerous clots.
- 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.
- Twin Pregnancy: A twin pregnancy is when a woman carries two babies at the same time, requiring specialized care from an OB/GYN to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery for both mother and babies.
- Miscarriages: Miscarriage refers to the spontaneous ending of a pregnancy, and your OB/GYN can help manage the physical and emotional aspects.
- Symptomatic Menopause: Menopause isn't always symptom-free; symptomatic menopause refers to the experience of troublesome physical and mental changes during this transition, which your OB/GYN can help you navigate.
- Pap Smear Abnormalities: If your Pap smear comes back abnormal, it doesn't automatically mean you have cancer, but your OB/GYN will order more tests to find out what's causing the abnormality.
- Multiple Gestation: If you're pregnant with multiples, your OB/GYN will help you navigate the unique challenges, offering frequent check-ups and personalized care to ensure a safe delivery.
- 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.
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. Spears offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- 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.
- Fetal Cardiac Monitoring: Fetal cardiac monitoring tracks your baby's heartbeat during pregnancy to check for any irregularities.
- Fetal Ultrasound: This non-invasive test uses sound waves to generate images of your unborn baby, giving you and your doctor valuable information throughout your pregnancy.
- Birth Control: Birth control can help regulate periods and reduce menstrual symptoms.
- Hysterectomy: Hysterectomy is a treatment option for conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or heavy bleeding that don't respond to other therapies.
- Pap Smear: It's a routine test to screen for changes in the cells of your cervix, helping to prevent cervical cancer.
- Menopause Evaluation and Treatment: If you're experiencing symptoms of menopause, this evaluation will help diagnose the cause and recommend hormone therapy or other treatments to ease your transition.
- Rh Incompatibility Screening: If you're pregnant or planning a pregnancy, Rh incompatibility screening identifies any potential blood type mismatch that could affect your baby and allows for preventative measures.
- 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.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: During IUD placement, a doctor inserts a tiny, T-shaped device into your uterus to provide highly effective birth control.
- 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.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Spears:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Spears, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist specializes in the health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Most OB/GYNs provide 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. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern or problem.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Spears 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, both boys and girls, at age 11 or 12, and can also be given to young adults.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Spears performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which often result in quicker recovery times.
- 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 photo-like images for keepsake purposes but are not typically used for medical diagnosis. They are an optional service.
- 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. Spears will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, like a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- 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 visit 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.
