Cervical Dysplasia

Cervical dysplasia

We understand that receiving a diagnosis of cervical dysplasia can be overwhelming. That's why we are dedicated to providing personalized care and effective treatment options that prioritize your comfort and well-being. We specialize in providing an innovative alternative to traditional treatments. Our clinic offers a unique approach using topical treatment, a non-invasive treatment option for cervical dysplasia. 


Compassionate Colposcopy

Our physicians offer colposcopy, an advanced diagnostic procedure for closely examining the cervix, vagina, and vulva to detect abnormal cell changes. With precision and personalized care, we prioritize your well-being throughout the process, providing timely intervention and support for optimal health. 


We are proud to utilize Histologic's Soft biopsy brushes for a kinder, more gentle colposcopy experience.

Topical Treatment

Unlike the commonly used LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure), our clinic focuses on utilizing topical imiquimod to target and eliminate abnormal cervical cells. Imiquimod works by stimulating the body's natural immune response, helping to fight off the abnormal cells and restore cervical health. 


One of the key advantages of our approach is that it is non-surgical and minimally invasive, reducing the risk of complications and promoting faster recovery times. Our experienced physicians will guide you through the entire treatment process, ensuring that you are well-informed and comfortable every step of the way.
