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

• Amniocentesis: To proactively assess your baby's health, amniocentesis involves a small sample of amniotic fluid being taken to screen for chromosomal conditions and certain genetic defects.
• Pregnancy Test: Early detection of pregnancy, through a simple pregnancy test, empowers you to seek appropriate prenatal care promptly.
• Fluid Contrast Ultrasound: For a comprehensive assessment of your reproductive health, a fluid contrast ultrasound offers superior imaging, enabling your doctor to quickly identify and address potential problems, helping to prevent future complications.
• Salpingo Oopherectomy: To prevent certain cancers, a salpingo-oophorectomy involves the removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries, a preventative measure discussed with your doctor based on your risk factors.
• Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Proactively assess your breast cancer risk with genetic screening, which can detect inherited gene mutations that significantly raise your likelihood of developing the disease.
• Osteoporosis Screening: Don't wait for a fracture to discover bone problems; an osteoporosis screening empowers you to manage your bone health proactively and maintain independence.
• Trichomoniasis Screening: Regular trichomoniasis screenings are important for preventing long-term health problems associated with this common infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease.
• Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: Take control of your reproductive health with an IUD placement—a safe and effective method for long-term birth control that significantly reduces unplanned pregnancies.
• Breast Cancer Screening: Protecting your future health starts now: mammograms and other breast cancer screenings are crucial for early diagnosis and treatment.
• Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): This helps detect and remove abnormal cervical cells identified during a Pap smear or HPV test, significantly reducing your cancer risk.
• Pregnancy Ultrasound: A pregnancy ultrasound is a safe and painless way to monitor your baby's growth and development, helping to identify potential issues early on.
