  5. Pregnancy testing and referrals for optional services.
  6. Screening, diagnosis and treatment of STD's and vaginitis. Same day appointments are usually available for women experiencing symptoms.
  7. Routine testing may also be arranged.

Also, patients who are scheduling a Yearly Exam will be asked to fill out the Women's Health History Form and Health Risk Profile before an appointment with the Women's Clinic.
