Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Alexandra Berger offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Colposcopy: Taking a proactive step towards cervical health, a colposcopy allows your doctor to closely examine your cervix for precancerous changes, allowing for early intervention.
• Pregnancy Ultrasound: Protect your baby's health with a pregnancy ultrasound; this imaging test allows for early diagnosis of birth defects and other potential problems.
• Hysteroscopy: Taking charge of your reproductive health, a hysteroscopy allows your doctor to visually inspect your uterus for abnormalities like polyps or fibroids, potentially preventing future complications.
• Obstetric Ultrasound: Protecting your baby's well-being starts with an obstetric ultrasound; this simple scan helps detect birth defects, multiple pregnancies, or placental issues early on.
• Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: Proactively manage your family planning by choosing IUD placement, a convenient and reliable form of contraception that can last for years.
• Birth Control: Proactively manage your menstrual cycle, reduce the risk of unplanned pregnancies, and improve overall reproductive health by choosing a suitable birth control method.

• Tubal Ligation: Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure that serves as a permanent and proactive method of birth control.
• Colporrhaphy: To proactively address pelvic floor issues, colporrhaphy strengthens the vaginal walls, reducing the risk of uncomfortable symptoms like organ prolapse and incontinence.
• Myomectomy: To manage bothersome uterine fibroids and maintain your reproductive health, a myomectomy is a procedure that surgically removes these growths.
• C-Section: A C-section can be a planned or emergency procedure, and discussing your options with your doctor helps prepare you for different birth scenarios.
