Our Services
Women’s health through the lifespan
Services are offered in-person in Chestertown, Maryland, or as a telehealth option for presenting concerns that do not require an in-person visit for physical exam findings. Virtual appointments utilize a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform.
Gynecologic Care
The Nook Midwifery provides evaluation and management of common gynecologic concerns and complaints, including irregular or heavy menses, painful menses, urinary and vaginal symptoms, and peri-menopausal and menopausal concerns. Testing and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, including expedited partner therapy, are also available.
Well-person Care/Annual Wellness Exams
We provide annual wellness exams, including pap smears, HPV testing, physical exams, relevant lab work, and orders for mammogram and DEXA scan imaging as warranted by your age and medical history. While pap smears are no longer recommended on an annual basis for all people, a comprehensive annual well-woman or well-person exam includes far more than a pap smear.
Pregnancy Care
For an informed and empowered pregnancy and a well-supported adjustment to parenthood, personalized care is available prenatally and in the postpartum period. Pregnancy care at The Nook Midwifery offers the same options for prenatal testing and imaging as a traditional OB/GYN office, while also focusing on helping you maintain your optimal physical health and fostering your optimal psychological preparation for birth. Complete prenatal records are sent in advance of your due date to the hospital or facility you choose for your delivery.
Contraceptive Care
In this time of numerous contraceptive choices, from non-hormonal to hormonal and long-acting reversible options, The Nook Midwifery can partner with you in determining your personal best contraceptive option. We can prescribe contraceptive pills, patches, rings, and injections and/or place a contraceptive device (an IUD or an implant) in our office.
