- Labor and DeliveryThe team at Athens ObGyn believes the first-rate facilities at Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center and St. Mary’s Hospital are important patient resources. Both hospitals offer free tours for women who are going to give birth and have neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Pregnant women can also take parenting, breastfeeding and childbirth classes.
- Cervical CancerScreening for potential health conditions is another component of preventive care. Our physicians perform Pap smears and HPV testing to screen for cervical cancer. Our Athens ObGyns also recommend screening mammograms every year for women ages 40 and over. We offer 3D mammograms in our office, which provide improved screening for women with dense breasts and increased detection of certain breast cancers. We also offer BRCA genetic screening for women with certain risk factors.
