Women's Health Services

Dr Sheryl Kaplan leads our Women's Health service which includes a number of female GPs with special expertise in this important area. EdgCARE provides a number of weekly Women's Health clinics during which we can assess any of the common problems which come up in Women’s Health. These include period problems, pelvic pain, menopausal symptoms, contraception and HRT.
Please book in with either Dr Sheryl Kaplan, Dr Melissa Holz or Dr Tammy Nisner to access these services. Please note that currently only Dr Kaplan is offering a coil and implant service.
Dr Stacey Hofmann is also available to offer Cervical Smears as part of our Women's Health team.
Contraception Reviews, Coil & Implant Insertion
Run by Dr Kaplan, this service includes a pre-procedure assessment to decide which is the best coil to fit for you. It also includes the follow up appointment which is necessary after fitting a coil. Prices depend on the type of coil selected.
Contraceptive coils can also be removed at EdgCARE.
Please ensure that you abstain from sexual intercourse or use barrier contraception eg condoms, for one week before the coil fittings or removals otherwise there could be a risk of pregnancy.
Menopause Care
Consulting with an experienced and sympathetic doctor for symptoms occurring before, during and after the menopause can be crucial to ensure you get the right care during this important time. Our team can initiate HRT or review your current treatment. We are also able to check your hormone levels.
Cervical Smears
Cervical smears can also be taken at EdgCARE. Options include the standard HPV detection smear or an enhanced service which includes cervical cell analysis (cytology).
Cervical Smear Testing can not be performed within 1 week of the menstrual period commencing (or if you are still bleeding) or within 3 months of an inadequate smear test result.
