Capital Women's Care
from Frederick Faces
With care centers located in Frederick, Urbana and Mount Airy, as well as appointment availability during lunch, evening and weekends, Capital Women’s Care makes healthcare even more accessible for women at all stages of life. The practice offers a wide range of services beginning in adolescence and following through retirement years. Care provided to patients is always individualized and centered on their needs.
During an annual examination as a part of gynecology services, practitioners focus on multiple areas of women’s health, including contraceptive options, breast care and additional testing. Providers are able to give guidance and treatment for menopause and osteoporosis.
For those starting a pregnancy journey, the practice has partnered with Frederick Health for obstetrical care. Practitioners are able to provide care for normal pregnancies as well as those with medical challenges. Sonograms are performed onsite throughout the pregnancy. Following labor and delivery, postpartum services are also available.
Once a patient reaches the recommended age, mammograms become part of the annual exam visit. Instead of having to book two separate appointments, the Frederick location allows patients to have an annual exam and mammogram with little to no wait.
When issues arise, the staff is ready to provide care for a number of gynecological challenges including irregular periods, pelvic pain, ovarian cysts, sexually transmitted diseases and uterine fibroids.
Specialized care focusing on the treatment of urinary tract problems and voiding difficulties is available through Urogynecology services. Treatment options such as medication, in-office procedures, bladder physiotherapy and surgical techniques may be used to help treat symptomatic patients.
The Frederick location also hosts the Ambulatory Surgical Center, which provides a full range of gynecological procedures in an outpatient setting. The site is also home to the Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) bone density scan. This technology recognizes early degradation of bone mass and helps to evaluate favorable outcomes of treatment. Usually only offered by radiology centers, this technology in private practice is a huge benefit to patients as their doctors can read the scans to treat appropriately. -
With a diverse group of providers including doctors and nurse practitioners, each follows the highest medical and ethical standards. Many are long-standing providers with the practice and each creates an environment that nurtures the spirit of caring in every woman.
“In a world where women put themselves last, we put women first,” says Megan Davis, BHA, Practice Specialist. “Our practice is very progressive in the services that we offer. We understand that women’s health is not cookie cutter. While we offer basic services, we are also very progressive. We are constantly continuing our education as practitioners and providers.”
Founded in 1998, Capital Women’s Care has more than 55 locations in the Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., region. With more than 200 practitioners, Capital Women’s Care is the largest private OB/GYN practice in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Through the group's vast network, Capital Women's Care is able to exchange ideas and information between physicians across the region, increasing their standards of clinical experience.
