What is a Well-Woman Exam?

A Well-Woman Exam is a critical component of preventive healthcare for women at all stages of life, focusing on early detection of diseases and overall wellness. These exams are comprehensive, including a pelvic exam, pap smear, breast exam, and general health evaluation to address concerns like sexual health, reproductive health, and common issues such as incontinence and hormonal imbalances. These visits are tailored to each phase of a woman’s life, ensuring personalized care.

How Does a Well-Woman Exam Work?

During a Well-Woman Exam, Dr. Geer conducts several assessments to monitor your health. The exam typically includes a general physical exam, a pelvic exam to check gynecologic health, a breast exam for early detection of cancer, and a pap smear for cervical cancer screening. Additional tests like mammograms, colonoscopy and bone mineral density testing may be recommended based on age and risk factors. These exams are crucial for identifying potential health issues early on and maintaining long-term health.

What our clients are saying

Dr. Cheryl Geer is very knowledgeable and really nice. There are a couple of things about her practice that really stand out. First, she and her staff are kind, attentive, approachable, knowledgeable, and put you at ease the whole time. Second, it works! That’s the main thing, right? She addressed and fixed the problem I was having, and explained what caused it and how to prevent it in the future. Her Gainswave treatments are a miracle. Never thought the functionality would return to what it was in my 20s. If you’re having issues you have got to go! Dr. Geer, I thank you and my wife thanks you!!

Dr. Cheryl Harris Geer has been my Women’s Wellness doctor for many years. She is a very knowledgeable, kind, caring doctor and has always been sensitive to my needs. She takes the time to patiently listen and respond to my questions and concerns. On one visit a few years ago, she suggested that I see a specialist to find out if I had developed kidney cancer; her diagnosis was correct and I was able to have the cancer spot removed. I trust her advice and guidance regarding my health care.

Dr Geer is a wonderful doctor and has been taking care of me for more then 10 yrs now. I had fibroids that got to be dangerous and Dr Geer performed the surgery to remove then. My husband Steve was impressed with her because she explained everything pre and post surgery, and how he needed to take care of me once I got home. It’s easy to feel safe and secure with Dr Geer. I will be her patient and her friend.
—Healthgrades Review
Overall, I have been with Dr. Geer and team for over 20 years. I would not want to go anywhere else. Dr. Geer is fully present and shows such a deep sense of care and empowers her patients to make healthy changes mentally and physically. She is so supportive and speaks life. I am deeply grateful for the work she does, it helps not just me but those I care for. I extend what I learn from her to others.
