OB/GYN in The Bay Area

Advanced Medicine from Our Team of Obstetrician-Gynecologists

At Washington Township Medical Foundation, we’re proud of our team of OB/GYNs and the compassionate care they provide to our patients. We emphasize advanced, non-invasive techniques in a patient-centric environment run by a team of all-female practitioners, as we realize many women feel more comfortable working with female providers. Your OB/GYN will help you determine how often you should see them based on your age, overall health, and sexual history.

Our OB/GYNs treat a variety of female health concerns such as:

• Abnormal vaginal bleeding
• Heavy periods
• Pelvic pain
• Hormonal disorders
• Endometriosis
• Pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
• Urinary incontinence
• Infertility
• Family planning and contraception
• Sexually transmitted infections/diseases (STIs/STDs)
• Pre-conception planning
• Prenatal care, labor, delivery, and postpartum care
• Menopause

Should I See an OB/GYN?

Women should see OB/GYNs as a way to safeguard their health through yearly checkups and screenings. During your OB/GYN appointments, you may need to undergo certain evaluations to collect specimens to check for specific diseases, such as Pap tests that check for cervical cancer. Your OB/GYN will determine which tests are appropriate for you depending on your unique circumstances. We encourage women to see an OB/GYN once they are 18 years old or they become sexually active, whichever is sooner, and for pregnancy, menopause, or any time they have sexual health concerns.

Patient Resources

We provide high-quality women’s healthcare in a modern facility staffed by friendly practitioners who keep current with the latest procedures and technology. Our doctors highlight the importance of prevention such as screening tests and family planning through all aspects of gynecology. We are proud of our reputation inside and outside the operating room and perform minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures and alternatives to hysterectomies to allow women a more rapid return to their everyday lives.

Washington Hospital is home to our Birthing Center, which offers facilities and accommodates both natural and high-risk births. Women travel from all around the San Francisco Bay Area and the Central Valley to deliver their babies here.

Through our affiliation with UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, Washington Hospital operates an 11-bed intermediate intensive care nursery. This Special Care Nursery provides ongoing care for infants with special needs. UCSF neonatal and pediatric specialists lead the unit and deliver the finest neonatal and specialty care available.
