Effective & Compassionate Care for Women!

Targeted Health Care Services for Women

From the onset of the menstrual cycle in young teens to menopause and after, Ridgeline Medical provides women with comprehensive care for diagnosing, preventing, and treating female-specific health issues. Our health screenings, annual exams, and other services offer you a compassionate and effective choice for your personal care.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! According to the American Cancer Society, when breast cancer is detected early and is in the localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%! Monthly breast self-exams, regular clinical breast exams, and mammograms are essential for early detection. Here are some symptoms to watch out for when giving your self-exams:

1. A change in how the breast or nipple looks or feels. Tenderness, a change in the texture, or a lump should always be reported to your healthcare professional.

2. Any unexplained change in the size, shape, dimpling, unexplained swelling, recent asymmetry, or scaly, red areas should be reported.

3. Any nipple discharge when not breastfeeding should be checked by your healthcare professional.

Ridgeline Medical offers annual exams for women including pap smears and breast exams to help you stay on top of any health issues and in the best health possible. Some of the other services and treatments we offer for women are:

  • Vaginal health & discomfort treatment
  • Birth control
  • Contraceptive management
