Women of all ages can benefit from seeing their physician regularly. The goal is to prevent or manage problems early. A annual well woman exam is a good opportunity for you to discuss with your physician any problems or concerns you may have, whether they involve general health or gynecological issues. Dr. Pearson strives to provide you with the care and resources needed to resolve your concerns and avoid problems. We encourage you to work with your doctor on a regular basis to ensure your wellness and vibrancy!


Adolescent Care

Women’s healthcare should start early.  Whether a teenager is sexually active or not, there are still benefits to early gynecologic care in the teenage population.  Young women should feel comfortable and confident that they have a support system within their healthcare provider even before they need a provider.  At Joya, care of adolescents includes these common concerns: 
   -  Menstruation issues
   -  Sexually transmitted disease testing
   -  Contraception
   -  Lifestyle counseling regarding sensitive issues like weight, sexuality, and substance use

Early Adulthood

Early adulthood is a challenging period for every woman.  Some women are entering child bearing and a new role in motherhood.  Other women want to forgo pregnancy for some period of time.  Regardless, this is the period when women are finding themselves and building their lives.  It is a time when a health care provider can can be a partner in creating that life.  At Joya, we treat women in early adulthood for these common concerns as well as more advanced issues: 
    -  Contraception
   -  Sexually transmitted disease testing
   -  Menstrual cycle concerns 
   -  Cervical cancer screening
   -  Cervical dysplasia management

The Established Woman

At Joya, we are here to ensure whatever these changes are, they are normal, manageable and do not hinder your life.  Common concerns in this age group include: 
   -  Contraception
   -  STD testing
   -  Menstrual cycle concerns
   -  Cervical cancer screening
   -  Cervical dysplasia management
   -  Breast cancer screening
