Common GYN Conditions

Suction dilation and curettage (D&C) is a procedure involving the insertion of a thin, plastic tube inserted through the cervix into the uterus. The tube is attached to a suction device or vacuum, which is used to suction tissue out of the uterus through the tube. Dilation refers to the opening of the uterus, while curettage refers to the removal of tissue within the uterus with an instrument called a curette. This procedure is performed as a treatment for miscarriage or retained placenta after delivery. The procedure may be done in the Women First office with a local anesthetic. You can usually go home within an hour or two of the procedure.

Dr. Miller is my doctor and I can't say enough good about her and any of the staff I have interacted with. I highly recommend them.

I love Dr. Brown. Hands down, she is an Angel on Earth. I literally would not be here today without her. She always tells me exactly what I need to hear, she stands up for her patients, and has believed in me when I don’t believe in myself. Woman’s health isn’t just gynecological. It’s mental. It’s having someone there to hold your hand when you’re alone. And Dr. Brown continues to hold my hand and I can’t thank her enough. I will forever be indebted to her and will love her forever. I will miss her incredibly and deeply when she retires. Thank you Dr. Brown, for everything. -Tiffany Enriquez

Only positive things to say about Women’s First! I always receive excellent communication from support staff and I’m very grateful for the doctor-patient relationship I have with Dr. Rebecca Booth. I frequently speak highly of and recommend this practice to friends, family, and colleagues!
