Dr. Ravins and the team at Raveco Medical provided exceptional care throughout my pregnancy and labor. From the start, they were attentive, kind, and professional, always taking the time to address my concerns and make me feel confident and informed. When it came time for labor, Dr. Ravins and his team were incredible at the hospital, ensuring I was comfortable and calm.

Patient

Amazing experience having Dr. R as my Doctor. He did my C section. From the moment I met him before my procedure, I felt comfortable and confident. He was all about making me comfortable, listening and answering questions, along with reassuring regarding all my concerns. He has a great personality like you’ve known him forever and just that was very welcoming.

Patient

Dr Ravins is such an incredible and awesome surgeon. My C section went so smoothly that I barely had pain afterwards. I was up walking, taking care of my baby the next day. Staff members, anesthesiologists, nurses were so professional, carrying.

Patient
Liza Gorham

The care provided at Raveco Medical is definitely the treatment every pregnant woman deserves. I will never forget my first prenatal appointment with Dr. Steven Ravins, after he became aware that I was above advance maternal age his exact words were "we are going to take care of you" and that's what Dr. Ravins and Dr. Olkowski did.

Patient
Camila

This was an amazing hospital the nurse was very attentive, the whole team was supportive and knowledgeable. They walked me through my whole experience and supported me throughout my labor experience. I would encourage to do the epidural if you are in extreme pain because Dr.Khan was phenomenal and walked me through everything.

Patient
Brigitte De Paz

Dr. Ravins helped me and my partner during the whole process of delivering my baby and he offered me the epidural. It was amazing I felt no pain and I recommend you get the epidural to make the delivery much easier.

Patient
Sara Porchetta

My c section was everything I had hoped for and more. Dr. Ravins was highly recommended by my OB/GYN when I became aware that I would potentially be getting a c section. Dr. Ravins came in before the surgery and was very thorough with my husband and I, to alleviate any concerns and explain the procedure.

What You Should Know About Gynecology

What is gynecology care?
blue lineblue line

Gynecology care focuses on the health and well-being of your reproductive and pelvic organs. It includes yearly well-woman exams as well as diagnosis and treatment of issues including:

  • Yeast infection
  • STDs, such as chlamydia and herpes
  • Endometriosis
  • Bladder and pelvic floor dysfunction
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome
  • Bartholin's cysts that develop in the glands located at the vaginal opening

Birth control counseling, menopause care, and pelvic cancer screening are also part of the gynecology care offered at Raveco Medical.

What does routine gynecology care entail?
blue lineblue line

An annual well-woman exam is an important part of your overall gynecological health. This exam includes a pelvic exam, clinical breast exam, and any necessary screenings such as Pap smears or mammograms.

Routine gynecological care should begin in a woman’s early teens so she can learn about the changes that happen during puberty. The first visits offer a time for a girl to establish a relationship with a gynecologist and address any concerns about menstrual irregularities, sexuality, or unusual pelvic symptoms. A pelvic exam isn’t usually done until a girl reaches age 21.

Young girls benefit from vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted disease that can cause genital warts and, in some cases, cervical cancer. The vaccine works best before a girl becomes sexually active and is given in two doses over the course of six months.

What screening tests does regular gynecology care involve?
blue lineblue line
What surgeries are part of gynecology care?
blue lineblue line

In-office surgeries are available at all of the three locations of Raveco Medical. Examples of in-office surgeries include:

Endometrial ablation

If you have excessive menstrual bleeding or periods that last longer than seven days, endometrial ablation may be an answer. It removes the thin layer of tissue that lines the uterus (endometrium) to alleviate your symptoms.

Dilation and curettage (D&C)

A D&C removes tissue from inside of your uterus that may contribute to heavy menstrual bleeding or infection. It’s often performed after a miscarriage.

Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP)

LEEP is a treatment to remove abnormal cervical cells on the cervix discovered via a Pap smear. A special device is used to cut away the affected cells and a very small portion of the surrounding tissue.

The OB/GYN team can also provide more advanced gynecological surgery, such as hysterectomy or fibroid removal, at an affiliated hospital.

Call Raveco Medical for all of your gynecology needs. Alternatively, book an appointment online.
