Your First Time At the Gynecology Office

02 Mar Your First Time At the Gynecology Office

Going to the Gynecologist for the first time can be scary to a lot of young women In fact over 2/3 of women report feeling anxious about visiting a gynecology office. The hustle and bustle of a traditional office, the average time spent with the healthcare provider only 7 – 12 minutes, can add unnecessary stress and anxiety to the visit. Add these factors to the first time and it is easy to see how this significant event in a female’s life can become a negative experience.

With the recommended age of the first visit to be between the ages of 13 and 15, it is important that it be relevant, non – threatening, educational and relaxing. A time for celebrating you womanhood. That is why we have developed the First Time program.

Customized to the needs and wants of young women, this approach ensures a positive experience with the very best care and consideration at this important milestone. All in a private, female only, spa – like setting.
