General
Teenage girls should set up an appointment to meet their gynecologist some time between the ages of 13 and 16. Although pelvic exams are usually not required during the first visit, this visit allows a teen to become familiar with the doctor or nurse and establish a medical and sexual history. This is a good opportunity to educate teenage girls about contraceptives and sexually transmitted disease. Once a woman is sexually active, she should begin exams.
Yes. But please allow 7- 10 business days after signing release. Please be aware that provision of some records may incur a charge.
Yes. We will call you 2 days before your appointment. This way, if you have to cancel, we are able to offer that appointment time to another patient who needs it.
Also, please give a 24 hour notice if you must cancel an appointment.
Courtview stopped delivering babies in 2012. So while we certainly can help our patients prepare optimally for pregnancy, and evaluate and treat any problems they may encounter in early pregnancy, we cannot provide continuing care beyond early pregnancy.
Most doctors recommend exams every 1 to 2 years, depending on your age and health.
We are open on Monday-Thursday from 8:30 am – 5:00 pm.
Friday we are open 8:30 – 12:00 pm.
There is a doctor available 24 hours a day. If you call the office after office hours you will be directed to one of our on call nurses. If you need to speak to the doctor on call, the nurse will contact the doctor for you. Chronic problems, prescription refills, and appointments are not appropriate reasons to call after hours.

Lab results are not routinely left on an answering machine or voice mail. But if you request, you can document that in writing and we will do so.

Many women will experience leakage of very small amounts of urine on rare occasions. This is normal. But when the amount or frequency of urine loss becomes embarrassing, or causes a woman to avoid activities she would normally enjoy, it is no longer normal, and she should see a doctor for help.
There are many types of contraception, and no single method is the best one for all women. The key to successful birth control is finding the best option for your individual needs. Some methods can provide both effective birth control AND reduce or eliminate other problems, such as cramps, irregular cycles, heavy flow, migraine headaches, and more.

3D Mammography provides 3D Mammograms through a procedure called Tomeosynthesis.
In about the same time a 2D mammogram lasts, 3D captures multiple image slices of the breast at different angles. These images then create a crystal-clear 3D reconstruction of the breast. Our professionals are then able to review the digital reconstruction one thin layer at a time, like turning pages in a book. It makes it easier for doctors to see if there are any areas to be concerned about.
