These are only a few of the services offered by Chena Obstetrics & Gynecology:

Obstetrics

We understand that pregnancy is a special time in a woman's life.  With Chena Ob-Gyn, the majority of deliveries will be attended to by your own physician rather than just the doctor on call.

Gynecology

Should you suffer from heavy periods a search for the root cause may be undertaken.  For treatment, hormonal management or an outpatient treatment called endometrial ablation can often be alternatives to hysterectomy.  

Infertility evaluation and treatment 

For couples experiencing difficulty conceiving, a consultation and an investigation into possible causes of infertility can be the first step in achieving pregnancy.  Intrauterine insemination is available. Dr. Hogenson is a regional access provider for Seattle Reproductive Medicine.

There are a number of solutions, surgical or medical, that may improve the quality of life for women who suffer with this problem.

Screening for gynecologic cancers/well woman care

We keep up to date on the recommendations for cancer and other screening recommendations so that you may benefit from early detection.

HPV vaccination

Girls and women aged 9 to 26 are eligible for the newest vaccine, the tetravalent (effective against 4 different virus subtypes) HPV vaccine.  HPV is the virus that causes cervical cancer, and some types cause genital warts.  Even women who have had abnormal pap smears may benefit from this vaccine.

Contraception

We have recently started offering the Essure procedure, a newer form of sterilization done without incisions. IUD placement available. Implanon is a contraceptive rod we can place that is effective contraception for 3 years.
