gynecological

The Women's Health Center of Lebanon offers comprehensive gynecologic services including routine health screenings, the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of medical problems and conditions, routine and complex gynecological surgeries as well as a number of gynecological procedures performed within our office.


Routine Health Screenings
Women in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are allowed to self refer themselves to their gynecologist for at least one exam per year. We, therefore, perform routine health screenings and physical exams for our patients as well as treating complex gynecological problems.

We recommend that each patient have a complete gynecological exam each year including a pap smear and a breast examination. After age 40, a mammogram is recommended on a regular basis. After age 40, we recommend that you have a hemocult yearly. You may choose which one of our providers you would like to see for your periodic check-ups when you call to schedule your appointment.

We now also have the ability to screen for osteoporosis right here in our office and to monitor your treatment for osteoporosis. We recommend that women who are at high risk for the disease get a baseline screening as early as possible.
