How often do I need a pap smear, mammogram and bone density? American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends a pap smear every year after age 21 or 3 years after becoming sexually active, whichever comes first; a baseline mammogram between age 35-40, then yearly after age 40; bone density screening when menopausal or if you have risk factors for osteoporosis. It is always good to discuss your personal risk factors and family history with your physician to gauge when these tests should be done for you.
I just found out that I am pregnant. When do I need to schedule my first OB appointment? We like to see our new OB patients between 7-8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This is the best time for a first visit with ultrasound to visualize the baby. Of course, if you are having concerns or problems, we will see you sooner.
At which hospital do you deliver? We deliver at Cedar Park Regional Medical Center (click here), which is adjacent to our office.
Do you share an on-call schedule with anyone else? We share call with four Ob-Gyns at Austin Regional Clinic, which is located in the same building as our office.
