Colposcopy
Receiving news that you need a colposcopy can feel overwhelming, but at VitaCare OBGYN, we're here to guide you through this important diagnostic procedure with expertise, compassion, and clear communication. Dr. Sattari's 14+ years of experience in women's health includes extensive training in colposcopy, ensuring you receive the most accurate evaluation possible.
A colposcopy is a specialized examination that allows us to take a closer look at your cervix when screening tests indicate changes that need further investigation. While the word "abnormal" can sound frightening, it's important to understand that most cervical changes are not cancerous and can be effectively monitored or treated when detected early.
What makes our colposcopy service exceptional:
Before your procedure, we take time to explain exactly what will happen, why it's necessary, and what we're looking for. We believe that understanding the process helps reduce anxiety and enables you to be an active participant in your care. Dr. Sattari uses the most advanced colposcopy equipment and techniques to ensure accurate results while minimizing discomfort. She performs surgeries in Cortellucci Vaughn and Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospitals.
During the examination, we maintain open communication, explaining what we're seeing and answering any questions that arise. If a biopsy is needed, we discuss this thoroughly and ensure you're comfortable with the process. Our gentle approach and attention to your comfort make what could be a stressful experience as manageable as possible.
Following your colposcopy, we provide clear, understandable results and work with you to develop an appropriate follow-up plan. Whether that means routine monitoring, additional treatment, or simply returning to regular screening, we ensure you understand your next steps and feel confident in your care plan.
We also recognize that abnormal screening results don't just affect you medically – they can also impact your emotional well-being. Dr. Sattari and our team provide ongoing support and education, helping you understand your results in context and maintain your overall health and peace of mind.
At VitaCare OBGYN, colposcopy is performed with the highest level of clinical expertise while never losing sight of the person behind the procedure. Your comfort, understanding, and confidence in your care are our top priorities.
