As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Casiano offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Ovarian Cancer: If you have concerns about ovarian cancer, your OB/GYN can provide screenings, diagnosis, treatment options, and ongoing health management for this condition affecting the ovaries.
- 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.
- Vaginal Yeast Infection: Vaginal yeast infections, caused by an overgrowth of yeast, lead to discomfort and irritation; an OB/GYN can provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment options.
- 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.
- Maternal Hypotension Syndrome: Low blood pressure in pregnant individuals, known as maternal hypotension syndrome, is a serious condition requiring the care of an OB/GYN to prevent complications.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: OB/GYNs specialize in women's reproductive health, so they are the best healthcare providers to help you manage and treat vaginitis or vaginosis, which affect the vagina.
- Uterine Cancer: OB/GYNs are key in detecting and managing uterine cancer, a type of cancer affecting the womb, through screenings, treatments like surgery and chemotherapy, and monitoring.
- Breech Position: Breech position means a baby is positioned feet or buttocks first in the uterus instead of head down, and your OB/GYN will monitor and discuss potential delivery methods.
- 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.
- Endometriosis: Endometriosis is a disorder characterized by the growth of uterine-like tissue outside the uterus, often causing pelvic pain and other symptoms that an OB/GYN can help manage.
- Preeclampsia: If you develop dangerously high blood pressure during pregnancy, it could be preeclampsia, requiring close observation and treatment from your OB/GYN.
- Tubal Pregnancy: During a tubal pregnancy, the embryo grows outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube, and your OB/GYN can provide treatment options to prevent complications.
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. Casiano offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:

- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: Hysterosalpingo sonography is a non-invasive imaging test used to check for problems with your uterus and fallopian tubes that could be causing fertility issues or other reproductive concerns.
- 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.
- Oophorectomy: This surgery involves the removal of the ovaries, which are part of a woman's reproductive system, often to treat certain conditions.
- Vaginosis Screening: During a vaginosis screening, your doctor will take a sample from your vagina to look for abnormal bacteria and provide appropriate care.

- Incontinence Sling Procedure: Women with stress urinary incontinence, where leakage occurs with activities like coughing or sneezing, may benefit from this minimally invasive surgery.
- 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.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Casiano:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Casiano, 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. Casiano 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 to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- 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.
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Pap smear guidelines have changed. For most women, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years for ages 21-29. For women ages 30-65, the preferred approach is a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Casiano will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Casiano provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and performing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is a concern, and it's important to have it evaluated. While some cramping is common, severe pain or excessive bleeding that interferes with daily activities is not normal. Dr. Casiano can diagnose the cause, such as endometriosis or fibroids, and recommend appropriate solutions.
- 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. Casiano 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. Most breast lumps are benign, but any new lump or change warrants immediate evaluation. Dr. Casiano will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
