General Practitioners

Warts
Medical Weight Loss
Weight loss for any obesity present is the most effective method of improving fertility, and with a low carbohydrate diet and regular exercise, many women are able to treat the disorder effectively. If diabetes or insulin resistance are part of the problem, medications to decrease blood sugar may be used. To help with excess new hair growth and acne, standard oral contraceptive pills are often. Combating fertility problems may involve the use of oral or injectable medications to aid ovulation. Long-term risks for diabetes and heart disease are important to address, since these can affect longevity and health in the future.
Male Infertility
Obstruction in the male tubes such as those that can be caused by varicose veins in the testicles, are thought to contribute to male fertility problems. Surgery to correct or repair the problem is possible in many cases.
Emergency Care
When you get emergency care or are treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from balance billing. In these cases, you shouldn't be charged more than your plan's copayments, coinsurance and/or deductible.
Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence, or loss of bladder control, is a common problem in women, ranging in severity from slightly bothersome to totally debilitating. Your physician can help to evaluate what type/types of urinary incontinence account for your symptoms so that the condition can be treated or improved. Treatments can range from exercises/training to medications, to surgical procedures.
Pneumonia
Immunizations
Influenza, largely preventable by annual seasonal vaccination, causes up to 50,000 deaths and 200,000 hospitalizations annually, racking up over $10 billion in costs each year.

Gynecology
Two of the most common fertility treatments used in general gynecology are ovulation induction with clomiphene (Clomid, Serophene) and intrauterine insemination (IUI). Both of these inexpensive and low-risk methods are utilized at Health Central, and can be used alone or combined.
Female Infertility
Ovulatory Dysfunction can prevent proper release of eggs from the ovaries. Irregular menstrual pattern can suggest this problem. Your physician may be able to treat this condition with medication.
Obstetrics
I have trusted Health Central for the past 14 years through various stages of my life, from being a newlywed to the birth of my children to the decision for tubal ligation. The entire staff always made me feel like I was their most important patient. Whether itâ€™s your first gynecology exam or youâ€™re experiencing the onset of menopause, Health Centralâ€™s leading physicians will walk with you through all of lifeâ€™s stages. Board Certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, our doctors cater to your unique healthcare needs.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a common condition in which the tissue that behaves like the cells lining the uterus (endometrium) grows in other areas of the body, causing pain, irregular bleeding, and possible infertility. Endometriosis is present in 10-15% of women, and is more common in relatives of patients with endometriosis. Often women have no symptoms or effects from endometriosis, but in some patients the symptoms can be debilitating.
Pelvic Pain
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) refers to an infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. This infection leads to inflammation and scarring that may affect any or all of these female organs. PID is one of the most serious complications of sexually transmitted diseases. Women at risk to contract PID often have multiple sexual partners, are not using contraception, have menstrual periods, and live in an area where the diagnosis is frequently made. The most common bacteria that cause PID are gonorrhea and chlamydia. The most common symptoms are abdominal pain and foul smelling discharge. This illness is treated with antibiotics. If the condition is severe enough it may require IV antibiotics, hospitalization and surgery. Some possible long-term effects of PID include tubal (ectopic) pregnancy, infertility and chronic pelvic pain from scar tissue.
Pregnancy
Women can rely on our Frisco and Dallas Ob/Gyns to manage their high-risk pregnancy with expertise and compassion
Labor and Delivery
Stress incontinence occurs when sneezing or coughing movements put pressure on the bladder and cause leakage. This can be caused commonly by the physical changes from pregnancy, childbirth and menopause or hormonal changes.

Cervical Cancer
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) â€“ This virus may present as genital warts or cervical dysplasia (abnormal cells on the Pap smear), and some strains are known to cause cervical cancer. Genital warts are diagnosed by clinical exam and/or biopsy, and they may be destroyed by applying a destructive agent to the visible wart or cervix. Strains of HPV can result in the development of dysplasia of the cervix, or cervical cancer in the worst cases. None of these viruses can be eradicated once contracted, but parts of the cervix affected by cervical cancer or precancer can be removed if the disease is detected early, which can prevent cervical cancer from developing or spreading. The HPV vaccine can prevent patients from contracting some of the most dangerous strains of HPV.
Colon Cancer
Symptoms may be discussed with your physician and the pair of you may decide whether treatment for these symptoms should be considered. Hormonal and non-hormonal options exist to make the transition through menopause more comfortable. The menopausal transition is also a natural time for you and your physician to consider medical risks going forward, such as osteoporosis, high blood pressure, breast cancer, colon cancer, and heart disease.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
Health conditions â€”These include high blood pressure; diabetes; kidney disease; autoimmune diseases, such as lupus; thyroid disease; obesity; HIV/AIDS and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Ultrasound
Although the symptoms and severity vary, associated features are obesity, trouble with ovulation and irregular menses or even lack of menses, and excessive effects of masculinizing hormones. Diabetes and insulin resistance are strongly correlated, as well as heart disease in the long-term. The diagnosis is frequently made by history and exam alone, although a clinician may order blood tests to look for other disorders or causes. Ultrasound to look for cystic changes of the ovaries is not necessary for diagnosis, since not all women with PCOS have cysts.
MRI
Radiology
When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers can bill you is your plan's in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can't balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed.
X-Rays
Mammography
Two tests are commonly used by health care providers to screen for breast cancer before any symptoms present themselves: Mammography and Clinical Breast Exam. Screening can be helpful in finding cancers early, with the goal of decreasing the chance of dying from breast cancer. Other screening tests are currently being studied in clinical trials.
Chemotherapy
Radiation Therapy

Minimally Invasive Surgery
If specific problems are found by the gynecologist, such as endometrial polyps or fibroids, sometimes these can be specifically addressed with a minimally invasive surgery to remove only the polyp or fibroid, depending on the location.
Vasectomy
Sperm allergy is an uncommon cause of infertility, in which the male or female produces antibodies that kill sperm. This is most common after a male vasectomy. Assisted reproductive technologies are frequently used to help the couple improve their chance to conceive.
Hysterectomy
In many patients, a drop in estrogen occurs during menopause or after a hysterectomy. However, breastfeeding mothers and patients undergoing ovarian or breast cancer treatment can also experience a drop in estrogen and the accompanying symptoms of vaginal atrophy.
Endometrial Ablation
Endometrial ablation refers to a technique whereby the endometrial lining of the uterus (the part that bleeds) is scarred or partially destroyed by various techniques, such as freezing/hot water/radiofrequency electricity/microwave/laser/heated laser ball. Most gynecologists have experience with one or more of these methods of ablation and choose the type of ablation that would fit the patient based on familiarity/safety/convenience factors, as well as the specific shape/size of the patientâ€™s uterus being treated. These procedures are usually outpatient or office procedures with some sedation or anesthesia needed.
Laparoscopy
Surgery for ectopic pregnancy may involve a dilatation and curettage of the uterus. It most commonly involves laparoscopy to visualize the fallopian tubes, where an ectopic pregnancy is usually easily seen. More urgent cases or cases involving a ruptured fallopian tube may require a large incision in order to obtain enough visualization to complete the procedure safely. The ectopic pregnancy (which has no chance of surviving) may be treated by removal of the pregnancy from the tube or removal of the entire tube, depending on the circumstances. If the patient has no desire for future fertility, a concurrent tubal sterilization may be performed, although usually every attempt is made to preserve future fertility, if the patient so desires.

Plastic Surgeons

Laparoscopic Surgery
With laparoscopic surgery, a tiny keyhole incision in the abdomen can bring into view your entire abdomen and pelvic area. If we need to treat fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis or an ectopic pregnancy, doctors may recommend performing minimally invasive laparoscopic day surgery.

Acne Treatment
Cyst
Ulcer
Syphilis â€“ An organism called Treponema pallidum causes syphilis. The initial presenting sign is a painless ulcer. The patient can later develop a rash or neurological problems. Diagnosis is made by blood testing. The mainstay of treatment is penicillin. This disease can be passed on from mother to child. For this reason, all women are screened during pregnancy. Partners should be notified and treated.
Lesions
The CO2 laser gently creates â€œindistinguishable micro-lesionsâ€ on the vaginal wall. These micro-lesions trigger a neocollagenesis process to produce new collagen. In addition to promoting the tissue regeneration process, the micro-lesions also help reestablish the mucosal layer of the vagina.
