UNPARALLELED, UNRUSHED GYNECOLOGIC CARE

At Chinn GYN, we believe that health & healing are directly related to the relationship a woman has with her care provider. We believe that each woman is a unique & complex individual & that each situation requires a novel approach. We do not believe that all women are equal, & we do not believe in a reductionist style of medicine that views women as conditions, or that treats their concerns only in the context of their reproductive parts. We view you as a human with many inter-related parts & pieces, one of which happens to be a vagina, & we are specialty trained to care for your vagina as much as we are to care for your heart. We believe in a truly integrative approach that takes into account the multi-faceted being that you are. We also believe that the healing process begins with sharing your story with other people who care. We offer our patients service that you simply will not find in other medical practices. Foremost among the amenities we provide is a model of care that is designed for women, by women, & is applicable to women in all phases & stages of life. We offer female biology-specific services, & we recognize that there is no adequate substitute for dedicated, genuine face-to-face time between patient & provider for discussion of important issues. We want to reserve sufficient time for your visit. You will not be rushed. All your questions will be answered.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

We provide a comprehensive array of women's healthcare services, including annual wellness care & screenings, problem gynecologic care, menopause care, contraceptive care, fertility care, sexual health care, & women's minimally invasive surgical services; many of our procedures for evaluation or management of concerns can be performed in our office with our all-female staff without the need to involve additional personnel in your personal care & with the utmost attention to your comfort. We offer thorough, complete evaluation & management of all presenting concerns. We are dedicated to partnering with each woman to achieve the best possible outcome for each individual & to craft wellness & treatment plans that are individually tailored & optimized to enhance each woman's health. We approach each concern as a unique event in the life of a unique woman, & we take into account all of the individually specific factors that contribute not only to the concern but also to finding the best possible solution.
