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

• 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.

• Colporrhaphy: Colporrhaphy is a surgical option to address vaginal wall weakening, improving quality of life by preventing prolapse and its associated symptoms.
• Pap Smear: Invest in your well-being with a routine Pap smear; it's a simple procedure that screens for cellular changes in your cervix, leading to early diagnosis and intervention if needed.
• First Trimester Screening: Ensure your baby's well-being with first trimester screening—a combination of tests that check for potential genetic issues and chromosomal abnormalities during the critical early stages of pregnancy.
• Oophorectomy: As a proactive measure, an oophorectomy may be recommended to remove one or both ovaries, often to lessen the chance of developing ovarian cancer or to manage other health issues.
