request an appointmentWhat is women’s wellness care?
Women’s wellness care is specialized care that Dr. Devang Shah and Dr. Nimisha Shah designed specifically for their female patients. It includes general wellness care, helping you stay healthy, plus specialized screenings and treatments to protect the parts of your body that set you apart as a woman. Essentially, this model of care blends the general preventive care of a yearly physical with the targeted care of a visit to a gynecologist. Plus, as expert internists, Dr. Shah and Dr. Shah have expertise to prevent conditions, manage complex diseases, and more.
What does women’s wellness care include?
At Morgan Hill Internal Medicine, women’s wellness care includes:
- Annual wellness exams
- Pap testing
- Breast exams
- Cancer screening
- STD testing
Your women’s wellness care is tailored to you. Your personalized care includes the right screenings to help you protect your health on the right timeline for you. For example, if you’ve had a normal Pap test and you don’t have a heightened risk for cervical cancer, Dr. Shah won’t perform another one for three years. Similarly, it means starting colon cancer screenings once you reach age 50.
Dr. Shah also recommends screenings for any conditions for which you have a heightened risk based on your family health history.
The entire Morgan Hill Internal Medicine team is committed to keeping you healthy. Beyond preventive screenings, they also offer immunization guidance, ensuring you’re getting the right vaccinations to keep you healthy each year.
Can women’s wellness care help me get into a specialist?
Absolutely. The Morgan Hill Internal Medicine team partners with you to protect your health. That means they’re there to support you in getting additional care or treatment when you need it. To make it easy for you to get in to see the right medical professionals, they can provide you with:
- Request orders for labs
- Request orders for mammograms
- Request orders for dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
DEXA screens you for osteoporosis.
In other words, even when the screening or care you need isn’t directly available at Morgan Hill Internal Medicine, the team ensures you can easily get it somewhere else.
