Ultrasound

Ultrasound

Our high-tech, high-touch approach includes the latest in ultrasound technology. Ultrasound enables us – and you – to see your baby as he or she grows throughout your pregnancy. It is a safe and painless test that uses sound waves to create images showing the baby’s position and shape.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends having at least one ultrasound during your pregnancy. Depending on your situation, you may need additional ultrasound tests as your pregnancy progresses. Ultrasounds can safely be done in the first, second, or third trimester.

An ultrasound will help your healthcare provider:

  • Detect whether your pregnancy is outside the uterus
  • Confirm your expected date of delivery
  • See whether there might be more than one baby
  • See whether your baby is growing at a normal rate
  • Record your baby’s heartbeat and breathing movements
  • Check the amount of amniotic fluid in your uterus
  • Check the position of the placenta in the late stages of your pregnancy.

The doctor was willing to spend time talking and helpful in some new health challenges I have that will be addressed by another specialist in a couple of weeks.

Miscarriage Care

Dr. Lechner approaches all of my visits with care, sensitivity- makes sure I know what to expect and processes afterwards so I always understand my options and where I’m at whether it’s pregnancy related or just wellness visits.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Elizabeth was very nice and thorough. I would have given my review 5 stars, except the nursing staff seemed rushed, not organized, and generally annoyed with their jobs. This is not the usual experience I have during my annual appointments.

Review for Lindsey Thornton, DO

STI Testing / Treatment

I always have a great experience with the office staff and especially with Joanne Beecher-Van Horn, she is literally the best. However, I wish someone would have called me to let me know my copay was going to be $245. I recently got laid off and had to scrabble to find short term insurance coverage which I know is not the greatest coverage but I had no idea my visit was going to be SO expensive. I unfortunately can't afford that right now and I appreciate that the office accepts payment plans but it was definitely a shock to hear that amount when I checked in. That would have been a lot for me even when I had a job let alone now that I am unemployed.

Review for Joanne Beecher-Van Horn, FNP-C

IUD Insertion / Removal

Pleasant doctor and staff staff who do their utmost to make the experience pain-free.
