As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Wheeler offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- 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.
- Fallopian Tube Disorders: Problems with your fallopian tubes, such as ectopic pregnancy or damage, can be diagnosed and managed by an OB/GYN who offers various treatment options.
- Female Infertility due to Ovulatory Disorder: Difficulty getting pregnant can sometimes stem from irregular or absent ovulation; an OB/GYN specializes in diagnosing and managing these ovulatory disorders to help you achieve pregnancy.
- Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids are muscular tumors that develop in the uterus and can cause a range of symptoms; your OB/GYN is best equipped to diagnose and treat them.
- Breech Position: Your OB/GYN will assess if your baby is in a breech position, where it's positioned feet or buttocks-first, and recommend the best delivery plan.
- Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: A tubo-ovarian abscess is a pus-filled pocket that forms near a woman's fallopian tube and ovary, and an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with antibiotics or surgery.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): If you're concerned about an STD, your OB/GYN can perform tests to determine if you have an infection and provide effective treatment options to manage it.
- Coagulation Defects in Pregnancy and Postpartum: OB/GYNs are trained to identify and manage blood clotting issues in pregnant and postpartum women, minimizing risks and ensuring healthy outcomes.
- Vulvar Leukoplakia: Vulvar leukoplakia is a condition causing white patches on the vulva, and an OB/GYN can diagnose it and recommend treatment options.
- Miscarriages: If a pregnancy ends naturally before 20 weeks, it's called a miscarriage; OB/GYNs offer medical care and guidance following this experience.
- Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: A prolapse occurs when the tissues and muscles supporting the pelvic organs weaken, causing them to bulge into the vagina; an OB/GYN can diagnose and treat this condition.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): UTIs cause painful urination and other symptoms, and an OB/GYN can provide accurate diagnosis and prescribe appropriate medication.
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. Wheeler offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Myomectomy: If you have uterine fibroids causing problems, a myomectomy is a surgery to remove them, helping to improve your quality of life.
- Obstetric Ultrasound: To monitor your pregnancy, your doctor may recommend an ultrasound scan to check your baby's heartbeat, position, and overall well-being.
- Birth Control: An OB/GYN can help you choose from various birth control options, including pills, IUDs, and implants.
- Pregnancy Ultrasound: A pregnancy ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of your baby in your womb, helping to check its growth and development.
- Laparoscopic Myomectomy: Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove fibroids (benign tumors) from the uterus.
- 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.
- Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: VBAC, or vaginal birth after cesarean, is attempting a vaginal delivery after a previous C-section.
- Colposcopy: A colposcopy helps your doctor detect and diagnose precancerous changes in the cervix, allowing for early treatment if needed.
- Hysterosalpingo Sonography: If you're having trouble getting pregnant, this ultrasound-guided procedure can help your doctor determine if there are any blockages in your fallopian tubes or abnormalities in your uterus.
- Endometrial Ablation: This procedure is a treatment option for women with heavy menstrual bleeding that hasn't responded to other treatments, offering a less invasive alternative to a hysterectomy.
- 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.
- C-Section: A Cesarean section, or C-section, is a major surgery used to deliver a baby when vaginal birth is risky or impossible.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Wheeler:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Wheeler, is a medical doctor specializing in both obstetrics (pregnancy, labor, and childbirth) and gynecology (overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception). They are trained to 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 visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This initial visit is often a conversation about healthy habits and building a relationship with your provider. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern or medical issue.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Wheeler provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, including managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, discussing hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and providing screenings for bone density and heart health.
- 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. Wheeler can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- 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. Wheeler will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Dr. Wheeler performs a variety of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can 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 for assessing fetal growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasounds provide detailed, photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but are not used for medical diagnoses.
- 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. Wheeler can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
