As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Griffin offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Eclampsia: During pregnancy, eclampsia causes dangerously high blood pressure and seizures, requiring immediate care from an OB/GYN to protect both the mother and baby.
- Endometriosis: With endometriosis, tissue that normally lines the uterus grows in other areas of the body, leading to painful periods and other issues, treatable with various strategies from your OB/GYN.
- Preeclampsia: Preeclampsia is a serious blood pressure condition that can develop during pregnancy, and OB/GYNs provide specialized care and monitoring to manage it and protect both mother and baby.
- Cervical Cancer: Your OB/GYN plays a vital role in preventing and treating cervical cancer, providing regular screenings like Pap tests to detect abnormalities early and offering appropriate medical care.
- Vaginal Cancer: An OB/GYN specializes in women's reproductive health, including diagnosing and managing vaginal cancer, a rare but serious condition.
- Mastodynia: OB/GYNs are skilled in managing mastodynia, helping women understand the potential causes of their breast pain and providing relief through medication, self-care techniques, or further investigation.
- Gonorrhea Infections: If you suspect you have gonorrhea, your OB/GYN can provide testing and prescribe medication to clear the infection.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection in the urinary system, and your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with antibiotics.
- 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.
- Malnutrition in Pregnancy: Insufficient nutrition during pregnancy can lead to serious complications; your OB/GYN can assess your nutritional needs and help you create a healthy eating plan.
- Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: Weakened pelvic floor muscles can lead to vaginal and pelvic prolapse, causing organs to protrude into the vagina; an OB/GYN offers various treatment options.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): OB/GYNs provide comprehensive care for STDs, including testing, diagnosis, treatment, and counseling on prevention strategies to protect your sexual health.
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. Griffin offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Mammography: A mammogram is a painless imaging test that uses X-rays to create detailed images of your breasts to screen for and detect breast cancer and other breast conditions.
- 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.
- Infertility Evaluation: If you're struggling to conceive, an infertility evaluation helps identify potential problems in either partner that may be preventing pregnancy.
- 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.
- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: A VBAC is considered a safe option for some women who have had a previous cesarean, but involves careful monitoring and assessment.
- Pap Smear: During a Pap smear, your doctor takes a small sample of cells from your cervix to detect any abnormalities or infections.
- Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): This surgery removes a suspicious area on the cervix, helping diagnose or treat problems such as cervical dysplasia.
- Colpopexy: This surgery uses stitches or mesh to support the pelvic organs and reduce discomfort from prolapse.
- Pregnancy Test: Whether you suspect you're pregnant or need confirmation, a pregnancy test can give you peace of mind.
- Vaginosis Screening: This screening helps identify an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina, allowing for early treatment to prevent complications.
- 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.
- Oophorectomy: Sometimes, an oophorectomy is performed to reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, especially in women with a high risk.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Griffin:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Griffin, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist specializes in the overall 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.
- 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 evaluation. Dr. Griffin will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- While some cramping is common during menstruation, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Griffin can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Griffin 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 often result in quicker recovery times.
- 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. Griffin can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Griffin 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 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 used for medical diagnosis. They are an optional service.
