Women’s Health Specialists of Birmingham provides the highest quality prenatal to postpartum care for expectant mothers and newborns in a caring, comfortable environment.
Women’s Health Specialists of Birmingham offers high-risk pregnancy care, advanced labor and delivery services and educational resources for new parents.
However, one of the most important services Women’s Health Specialists of Birmingham offers — and one that more women should take advantage of — is preventive care.
“The well-woman visit, or annual exam, gives providers an opportunity to counsel patients about healthy lifestyle habits and health risks,” said Dr. Alexia Novara.
Well-woman exams are critically important because the physician can determine if the patient may have a potentially life-threatening condition.
Routine screening can find cervical and breast cancer in “earlier stage disease that typically makes treatment options less invasive and more likely to be successful,” Dr. Novara said. “It’s so important for women to have both a primary care physician and an OB/GYN in order to get well-rounded care.”
Dr. Novara grew up in Vestavia Hills, has an undergraduate degree from Auburn University, completed medical school at UAB School of Medicine and finished her OB/GYN residency at Ochsner Clinic Foundation in New Orleans.
She believes strongly that patients should choose Grandview for their OB/GYN care.
“We pride ourselves in giving excellent care to our patients, and our clinical team and staff work day in and day out to care for our patients in a way that is unlike any that I have seen before,” she said.
