Personalized OB Care
During your obstetrical years, we provide complete OB care through a collaborative physician/nurse midwife team. “We focus on helping women enjoy their pregnancy and birthing process, and fully support our patients’ desires to design their own birth plan. By providing the necessary resources, even women facing high-risk pregnancies can enjoy their experience,” explains Dr. Yockey. We offer alternative birthing options such as hydrotherapy and family-inclusive delivery rooms, and deliver at three different local hospitals for your convenience.
Minimally Invasive Surgical Options
If surgery is a necessary or desired option, Dr. Yockey prefers minimally invasive therapies when possible. She says, “Our goal is to offer patients the best surgical outcomes through the least invasive procedure, which cuts recovery time and minimizes discomfort to quickly get them back to their daily activities.” Dr. Yockey uses the da Vinci® robotic surgical system to offer state-of-the-art minimally invasive surgery. We also offer innovative pain management for surgical patients with the On-Q Pump device, which helps alleviate the need for medication and shortens the hospital stay. For heavy bleeding
we offer NovaSure® Endometrial Ablation, and in-office Urodynamics and Emsella chair for incontinence.
Skin care, Weight Loss and Menopausal Care
In addition to traditional and preventive medicine, we go beyond to help you look and feel your best. As women, we understand the fluctuations that cause inevitable changes within our bodies. Weight management and menopausal care options (including bioidentical and natural therapies such as BioTE™ and DiVA Laser Vaginal Therapy) are available to help you through changes over the years that may leave you feeling a bit “off” or “not yourself”. We also have an exciting line of skin care options through our Revive MedSpa, including BBL laser treatments, hair removal, fillers, facials, microdermabrasion, microneedling, and body sculpting plus skincare products for younger/healthier skin, longer/thicker eyelashes, and Botox® and Xeomin® to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
