What is Gynecological Care and How Does it Work?

What Is Gynecological Care?

Gynecological care includes the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions that affect the female reproductive system—vagina, uterus, ovaries, cervix, and breasts. But at Pollard Preventative, it’s more than clinical.

Dr. Pollard’s approach integrates physical, hormonal, and emotional health to provide whole-person care in a safe, nonjudgmental space. Whether you’re coming in for an annual exam or seeking advanced diagnostic support, we treat every visit as an opportunity to listen, educate, and empower.

How Does Gynecological Care Work at Pollard Preventative?

Your care begins with a conversation. We start by listening to your concerns, your symptoms, and your goals. Based on your age, history, and needs, we may recommend:
  • A routine well-woman exam with Pap smear and breast exam
  • Pelvic ultrasound or imaging
  • Hormonal lab work
  • STI testing and contraception counseling
  • Endometrial biopsy or diagnostic procedures
  • Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS)
As a board-certified OB/Gyn with decades of surgical and diagnostic experience, Dr. Pollard brings unmatched expertise and personalized care to every patient interaction.

MIGS vs Traditional Gynecological Surgery

Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery (MIGS) offers a modern alternative to traditional open surgeries.
