Why Do We Recommend an Annual Exam?

Exams are recommended annually at UWH of Texas as a regular check-in with your care team. These consistent checkups allow our team to track your health over time and catch potential concerns before they become serious.

  • Annual Exams Help You Receive the Right Care
    Annual exams help detect health concerns early with a focus on preventive care and health guidance specific to your age and phase of life. Regular visits help us monitor your reproductive health, breast health, and overall wellness.

    If you experience changes in your reproductive health, notice new symptoms, or if you're due for specific screenings, we recommend that you schedule your visit sooner. Our providers are here to support you whenever you need us.
  • Build a Trusting Relationship with Your Provider
    A strong provider-patient relationship is key to receiving personalized care that evolves with your health needs. By visiting regularly with your care team, we can work together to stay proactive about your well-being and build a strong, trusting relationship over time.

What Happens During an Annual Exam?

During your annual exam, your provider will review your health history, discuss lifestyle and wellness goals, and perform a physical and pelvic exam. We’ll recommend certain screenings, such as a Pap smear or a mammogram, based on your age and risk factors. This is also your chance to discuss birth control, reproductive health, or menopause symptoms with your provider.

We Address Women's Health Needs at Every Life Stage

Your health evolves over time, and so do the focus areas of your annual exams. Each woman has her own priorities and concerns, which may evolve over time. Our annual exams address the many areas of your health, including:

  • Reproductive Health: Annual exams help us check-in with your reproductive health, detect areas of concern early, and discuss fertility based on your goals.
  • Health Screenings: Your provider can recommend screenings for fertility, family planning, and breast health to monitor changes in your body over time.
  • Menopause Care: As hormone levels fluctuate and you begin to enter perimenopause, annual exams help address any related symptoms.
  • Postmenopause Care: Care postmenopause continues with bone health checks and any age-related changes, such as increased risks for osteoporosis or certain cancers.

At every age, regular exams help us be proactive about your health and provide you with the support you need to stay well through every phase of life.

Answers, while positive for my situation, were very vague and brief. I had to be the one to pose the questions for much of the conversation

Review for Kathryn Holloway, MD

IUD Insertion / Removal

No wait time at all. Went in to have birth controlled removed, was painless and effortless.

Review for Shaheen Jacob, MD, FACOG

Blood Draw

No trouble finding vein. Very professional and a short wait time. Randall has always been understanding. It is common as an older woman to often be dismissed and treated as a throwaway. Randall has always treated me as if I just might have something to offer and am able to grasp health information. I have always appreciated his readiness to listen and include me in my health decisions.

Review for Randal Morgan, PA-C

Review for Bethany Herrera, FNP

Childbirth / Labor & Delivery

Best OBGYN

Review for Viviana Ellis, MD

Pap Smear

Dr was 30 mins late, so could not be rated a 5. Also, really don't appreciate that insurance pressures won't allow the Dr to generally care for a women holistically anymore at yearly well check up. Makes me feel like just a procedure no longer a person. It's a shame for younger women who likely only see their GYN, no other Drs during the year as they are healthy.

Review for Paula Bilica, DO

Annual Well Woman Exam

Everything was good Dr Ellis is great

Review for Viviana Ellis, MD

Perimenopause Treatment for Women

I was extremely happy with Yasmin. She was personable, thoughtful, and helpful. The lab tech, on the other hand, was very dismissive which made for an unpleasant experience. To make a long story short, I had warned her about approaching my blood draw (as I have 50 years of experience knowing how my veins behave.) She dismissed what I said and ended up having to attempt the draw multiple times. Had she been more attentive to me from the moment she called me in the lobby, she would've been more successful the first time and made for a much more pleasant experience.

Review for Yasmin Rahman, APRN, FNP-C
