Health FAQs

Whether you are planning your first gynecology appointment, or simply have women’s health questions, our Gynecology and Women’s Health FAQs can be helpful and informative. Within our FAQs section, we strive to answer in great detail the questions and concerns that women may have about their bodies. From questions about fertility and menopause to questions about minimally invasive surgery procedures, we aim to educate our patients to the best of our abilities.

Check back often, as we will update with even more common questions that we hear often from our patients, prospective patients, and women in Arizona. If you have a specific question, feel free to let us know and we may feature that question below so that other women can also benefit from the answers and resources we provide
