Welcome to Women's Health Associates. The information on this web site is intended to introduce you to us, to answer some of your questions and to explain some of the routines we use.

Our physicians are all female and all are Doctors of Medicine (M.D.'s). They are all Board Certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Each of our physicians is qualified to provide care for all routine obstetric and gynecologic problems, including surgical procedures. When more specialized care or consultation is required, they can advise and assist with referrals to an appropriate source. We utilize Portsmouth Regional Hospital for all obstetric and gynecologic care. We see patients Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM through 4:30 PM, by appointment only.

Women's Health Associates' practice is almost evenly divided between obstetrical and gynecological patients. We have developed some procedures which we believe help us take the best care of all our patients, and we'd like to share some of them with you.

You will be asked to select one physician within our group as your "primary OB/Gyn" physician. That physician will do your annual examinations as well as coordinate whatever other care you may need. If you are pregnant, that is the physician whom you will see most often during your pregnancy.

Your telephone call will initially be answered by a member of our office staff. If you have a medical concern, your call will be given either to our nurse-practitioner or to one of our experienced office nurses, who will either take your call then or return your call as soon as possible. Your concerns will be reviewed with your doctor, and either the nurse or the nurse-practitioner will call you back or your doctor will call you directly.
