Avenues for Health is proud to provide the highest quality healthcare for women. Our physicians and staff understand the unique and evolving needs of women today as they pass from adolescence through young adulthood to midlife, the menopause transition and beyond.

Lead by an experienced team of gynecologists and internists, a broad scope of problems is confidently and thoroughly addressed on a regular basis. These include basic gynecologic issues such as vaginal infections, contraception, premenstrual syndrome, painful periods, breast complaints and abnormal bleeding as well as the more complex management of the perimenopause, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction and urinary incontinence.

At Avenues for Health, we also provide comprehensive nongyncologic primary care for women, with the vital understanding that certain disease conditions have different manifestations and require unique management approaches for women as compared with men. Commonly treated conditions include hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, asthma, thyroid disease, depression, anxiety, chronic headaches, musculoskeletal pain, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel disease and much more.

Our physicians offer a wide variety of treatment approaches in order to accommodate every woman's preferences. In addition to the best in traditional care, we incorporate more natural therapies, such as the use of Western and Chinese herbs, nutritional guidance, acupuncture and a general appreciation for the mind-body connection.

Since prevention remains the mainstay of health and wellness, we routinely focus on screening and preventive measures such as PAP smears, mammography, bone densitometry and flexible sigmoidoscopy. We avidly promote and provide guidance for smoking cessation, instituting an exercise program, weight control and nutritional awareness.

As a practice devoted to the care of women, we distinguish ourselves most importantly by the amount of time we spend with patients. Time is spent on individualizing care and on educating the patient, thereby empowering her to make the best-informed decisions regarding her health care.
