Legacy Women’s Health Services Overview
Legacy Women’s Health provides specialized care through our board-certified obstetricians and gynecologists. Our experts focus on women’s unique health needs during every stage of life.
Legacy Women’s Health: Complete OB/GYN Care
Our gynecologists deliver customized care from routine check-ups to advanced treatments.
Our specialized services include endometriosis management, fibroid treatment, and minimally invasive surgeries. We also offer advanced surgical expertise, covering procedures like hysteroscopy, laparoscopic surgery, and robotic gynecologic interventions.
Specialized Maternal-Fetal Medicine
Our maternal-fetal medicine team’s perinatologists hold board certification in both maternal-fetal medicine and obstetrics-gynecology.
These specialists excel in high-risk pregnancy care and provide complete monitoring and treatment for conditions like heart disease, preeclampsia, and diabetes.
Genetic counseling services are available for women 35 and older, patients with abnormal prenatal screening results, and couples who have a family history of genetic conditions.
Preventive Health Screenings
Preventive screenings are the lifeblood of women’s healthcare. We recommend:
- Mammograms starting at age 40 for most women
- Cervical cancer screenings from age 21, with Pap tests every three years for women aged 21-29, and Pap and HPV co-testing every 3-5 years for women aged 30-65
- Bone density testing and genetic screening at the time appropriate
Our wellness assessments include blood pressure monitoring, heart health evaluation, and diabetes screening.
This all-encompassing approach to preventive care helps us detect and treat conditions early, which ensures the best health outcomes for our patients.
Legacy Women’s Health: Using the Legacy Health Patient Portal
MyHealth, our secure patient portal, puts your healthcare at your fingertips. This digital platform makes your interactions with our medical team and services smooth and easy.
Scheduling Appointments Online
MyHealth lets you schedule appointments with ease and convenience. You can book new appointments or change existing ones anytime.
The portal sends you appointment confirmations and reminders to help you stay on track with your healthcare schedule.
Accessing Medical Records
MyHealth gives you quick access to your health information, especially test results and visit summaries.
You can ask for detailed medical records through the portal. Oregon facilities process requests within 30 days, and Washington facilities complete them within 15 days.
Here are the guidelines to access family member records:
- Parents can see records for children under 14
- Children 14 and older must give written permission
- Your spouse or partner needs your permission to access records
Communicating with Your Care Team
The portal makes shared, round-the-clock communication with your healthcare providers possible. Your care team usually responds within one to three business days. Most routine messages come at no cost, including:
- Requests to schedule appointments
- Prescription refill needs
- Questions after recent visits
- Brief updates that need no response
Medical questions that take more than five minutes of provider time might need insurance billing. This matches standard telehealth practices and ensures you get the attention you need while we maintain quality care standards.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first step toward women’s healthcare might seem overwhelming. Let me walk you through what happens during your original visit to Legacy Women’s Health.
Required Documentation
These items are needed before your appointment:
- Medical and family health history records
- Current medications list, including over-the-counter drugs
- Insurance information and identification
- List of questions or concerns to discuss
- Previous medical records, if applicable
Initial Consultation Process
Our digital system, Phreesia, starts with a pre-registration that cuts down waiting time and paperwork. You’ll fill out forms about your health history and specific concerns once you arrive.
Your first consultation helps us understand your overall health needs. We’ll talk about your general health status, menstrual cycle patterns, and sexual health. This discussion includes everything in your lifestyle that could affect your health.
The consultation covers these key areas:
- Mental health and emotional well-being
- Current medications and allergies
- Family planning needs or concerns
- Preventive health screening requirements
Patients visiting for pregnancy care will receive detailed information about prenatal care and answers about their pregnancy trip. Our San Antonio OBGYNs make sure you leave your first appointment feeling confident and informed.
This visit builds the foundation for your ongoing care. Please ask questions and share your concerns openly – no question about your health is ever embarrassing.
