As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Dalati offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: An OB/GYN specializes in diagnosing and treating noninflammatory cervical issues, which may involve painless conditions or those with symptoms that need medical attention; they offer various management strategies.
- Mastodynia: Don't suffer in silence with breast pain. Your OB/GYN can provide a thorough examination, discuss potential causes of your mastodynia, and develop a personalized plan to manage your discomfort.

- Female Infertility: Struggling to conceive? An OB/GYN can conduct thorough tests to identify the reasons for infertility and recommend therapies, from lifestyle changes to advanced fertility treatments.
- Yeast Infections: A yeast infection is a common fungal infection of the vagina that causes itching, burning, and discharge; your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with antifungal medication.
- 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.
- Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: OB/GYNs provide care for various health issues women experience before, during, and after menopause, including managing symptoms and hormone changes.
- Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: Your OB/GYN can help manage vaginal and pelvic prolapse, a condition where organs in your pelvis slip down and out of place, often causing discomfort or symptoms.
- Fallopian Tube Disorders: Your OB/GYN is the specialist to see if you're experiencing pain or fertility problems potentially related to your fallopian tubes; they can perform tests and recommend treatments.
- Adenomyosis: With adenomyosis, uterine tissue invades the uterine muscle, leading to painful periods and heavy bleeding; your OB/GYN can offer various treatment options to alleviate these symptoms.
- Encounters for Normal Pregnancies: An OB/GYN provides regular prenatal care during a healthy pregnancy, ensuring both mother and baby remain well.
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. Dalati offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Birth Control: Birth control can help regulate periods and reduce menstrual symptoms.
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: Hysterosalpingo sonography (or SIS) is a type of ultrasound that uses a saline solution to check the shape of your uterus and if your fallopian tubes are open.
- Fetal Ultrasound: Fetal ultrasound scans are used to detect potential problems with your pregnancy early on, enabling timely intervention and better outcomes.
- Tubal Ligation: It's a type of birth control where a doctor closes or cuts the tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus, making pregnancy impossible.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: This imaging technique provides detailed images of your pregnancy, helping your OB/GYN track your baby's development and identify any potential complications.
- Myomectomy: Experiencing heavy bleeding or pain from uterine fibroids? A myomectomy surgically removes these growths to lessen your symptoms.
- Hysterectomy: If other treatments fail to resolve uterine problems, a hysterectomy might be recommended to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
- Salpingo Oopherectomy: Salpingo-oophorectomy is a surgery that removes the ovaries and fallopian tubes, leading to the end of menstruation and a reduction in certain cancer risks.

- Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove a woman's uterus through small incisions, often used to treat conditions like fibroids or endometriosis.
- Fetal Cardiac Monitoring: This test uses a device to listen to and record your baby's heart rate, helping your doctor monitor their health.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Dalati:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Dalati, is a specialist 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. Dalati 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 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 or problem.
- 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. Dalati will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- 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. Dalati will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- 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 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.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Dalati performs a variety of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can often result in a faster recovery.
- 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 is recommended for all preteens (both boys and girls) at age 11 or 12, and can be given to young adults as well.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Dalati provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. We discuss the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and provide screenings for bone density and heart health.
