As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. George offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Uterine Fibroids: These benign tumors in the uterus, called fibroids, can lead to problems with periods and fertility, and an OB/GYN can help manage them.
- Preeclampsia: High blood pressure and protein in urine during pregnancy signal preeclampsia, a condition your OB/GYN will carefully manage to prevent complications.
- Hyperemesis Gravidarum: If you experience persistent, intense vomiting during pregnancy, you may have hyperemesis gravidarum; your OB/GYN can help alleviate the symptoms and prevent dehydration and nutritional deficiencies.
- Endometriosis: Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and sometimes infertility, and an OB/GYN can help manage symptoms and treatment options.
- High Risk Pregnancy: Certain factors, such as age or medical history, can lead to a high-risk pregnancy classification, prompting specialized care from an OB/GYN to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
- Gonorrhea Infections: If you suspect you have gonorrhea, your OB/GYN can provide testing and prescribe medication to clear the infection.
- Gestational Diabetes: During pregnancy, some women develop gestational diabetes, a temporary condition where their bodies don't use insulin effectively; your OB/GYN can provide care and guidance to manage this.
- Adenomyosis: Adenomyosis is a condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, causing heavy bleeding and pain, and an OB/GYN can help manage symptoms with medication or surgery.
- Acute Vaginitis: Acute vaginitis is a condition marked by rapid onset vaginal inflammation; your OB/GYN will determine the underlying cause (like infection) and recommend appropriate care.
- Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: From hot flashes to bone loss, an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions related to menopause and the postmenopausal period.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: Vaginal dryness and thinning, known as atrophic vaginitis, is a common problem after menopause, and your OB/GYN can provide relief and treatment options to improve comfort.
- Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: Pregestational diabetes is diabetes that a woman has before becoming pregnant, and an OB/GYN helps manage it to ensure a healthy 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. George offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Gynecologic Cancer Screening: Gynecologic cancer screening involves tests to detect cancers of the female reproductive system early, when treatment is most effective.
- Endocervical Curettage: If your doctor suspects a problem in your cervix, an endocervical curettage might be used to take a tissue sample for analysis in a lab.
- 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.
- Colposcopy: If your Pap smear shows abnormal results, a colposcopy allows your doctor to get a closer look and take a small sample for testing.
- Vaginosis Screening: Vaginosis screening is a quick check-up that can help determine if you have an infection needing treatment and to prevent future issues.
- Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): A LEEP or similar procedure is used to take away abnormal cells from the cervix that might be precancerous.
- 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.
- C-Section: C-sections are performed to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby during childbirth.
- Amniocentesis: Amniocentesis is used to diagnose genetic and chromosomal conditions in the unborn baby and is typically performed between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy.
- Fetal Ultrasound: To assess your baby's health and your pregnancy's progress, your doctor will likely use a fetal ultrasound, a painless and safe imaging technique.
- Fetal Cardiac Monitoring: This non-invasive procedure uses sensors to monitor your baby's heart rate, providing important information about their health throughout pregnancy and labor.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: During IUD placement, a doctor inserts a tiny, T-shaped device into your uterus to provide highly effective birth control.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. George:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. George, is 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. Dr. George 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 gynecologist visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This first 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.
- What are my options for birth control?
- Birth control options include hormonal methods like pills, patches, and rings; long-acting reversible contraceptives such as IUDs and implants; barrier methods like condoms; and permanent options like tubal ligation. Dr. George will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. George performs a variety of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. He is skilled in minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, often resulting in quicker recovery times.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- While some cramping is common, 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. George can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- I'm pregnant. When should I schedule my first prenatal appointment?
- Call our office as soon as you have a positive home pregnancy test. The 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 creating a plan for a healthy pregnancy.
- 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. George can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- I found a lump in my breast. Should I call my OB/GYN?
- Yes. While most breast lumps are benign, any new lump or change warrants immediate evaluation. Dr. George will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
