Some issues Mrs. Lisa M. Garcia, CNM, ARNP can help you with:

Biopsy

A biopsy is a procedure performed to remove a small sample of cells for testing. The cells are examined in a laboratory to check for disease, or sometimes to see how badly a known disease is affecting them. Biopsy can be performed on any part of the body.

Although biopsy is most often associated with cancer, it can also be used to check for other diseases, such as infections. A biopsy sample can be scraped, cut, collected with a needle, taken with a machine that punches out a tiny piece, or removed with the tiny tools in an endoscope.

In most cases, a biopsy is a simple outpatient procedure. Depending on the procedure, patients may need to stop taking certain medications beforehand, such as blood thinners. It is important for patients to tell doctors if they are pregnant, as certain biopsies require the use of x-rays to guide the needle to the right location. There is usually very little pain associated with a biopsy. Patients will have to wait a few days to hear the results.

Pessary

A pessary is a device that is inserted into the vagina to relieve symptoms associated with mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse, a condition in which the womb, bladder, or rectum bulges into the vaginal canal. This device is made of either rubber or plastic and is a safe, nonsurgical way to provide support for prolapsed organs.

Pessaries come in different shapes and sizes, and finding the right one can take some trial and error. Before a pessary fitting, patients will be examined and evaluated based on prolapse-related symptoms they may be experiencing, which may include discomfort, urine leakage when sneezing or coughing, and trouble keeping tampons in.

The following tips can help guide the process of finding the right fit:

Once in place, patients should not be able to feel the device at all. If there is even slight pressure, patients should let their healthcare provider know, and she will find a pessary of a different size or shape.
The pessary should not fall out with sneezing, coughing, jumping, or squatting. While getting fitted, patients should try jumping or squatting to see if the device will fall out. If it does, a different pessary will be inserted until they find one that stays in place.
Patients and their healthcare providers should make sure the device is improving symptoms by having a check-up 5 to 15 days after it is inserted. If there is no improvement, patients may have to be re-fitted with a different pessary, or patients may be asked to consider surgical options.

The device should be kept clean to avoid issues like vaginal odor, discharge, or irritation. To clean a pessary, it must be taken out and washed with soap and water. Healthcare providers will instruct patients on how to remove and reinsert the device. If patients are unable to do this on their own, they will need to get it done at the doctor's office at least once every two months.

Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress urinary incontinence is a disorder in which the bladder leaks urine during activities that require exertion, such as lifting, laughing, coughing, and sneezing. Leakage occurs because the muscles responsible for holding urine have become weak. This type of incontinence will affect about one in three women at some point in their lives. It is particularly prevalent in women who have given birth vaginally, have been pregnant, are extremely overweight, or are in menopause. Although more women than men suffer from stress incontinence, men who have had prostate surgery are also at risk of developing this condition.

Treatments vary based on the severity of the incontinence. Mild to moderate leakage may be controlled by doing pelvic floor exercises, avoiding foods that can irritate the bladder, or taking medication. For severe incontinence, however, surgery may be necessary. The most common procedures for stress urinary incontinence are bladder suspension, artificial urinary sphincter surgery, and sling surgery.

Each of these procedures takes about an hour to an hour and a half. Patients will likely wake up with a catheter, a tube that drains urine, as swelling after surgery makes it difficult to urinate. Taking slow, short walks to keep the blood flow moving is usually encouraged within hours of the surgery. Although patients may return to work within seven to ten days after certain procedures, strenuous activities such as running and working out are not recommended for at least four to six weeks. In addition, patients should avoid lifting objects over 15 pounds for three months after any of these operations.

Lisa Garcia is a truly outstanding individual and health care provider. I researched lots of reviews of professionals in deciding who to see and chose Lisa on the basis of her glowing reviews. She deserves all the praise and recognition she receives. She is very kind and welcoming, she listens and really works to understand my issues and health status, and she presents all the options to me in a very clear and helpful manner. She is very organized and knowledgeable - very cutting-edge up-to -date. I feel extremely lucky to have found such a caring and skilled practitioner. She is one of the very best health care professionals I've seen over many years. Really appreciate her efforts and expert guidance in helping me optimize my journey through the transition into menopause. Lisa Garcia is outstanding! Thank you.

I have been searching for a doctor to listen to my needs. And I have been to a few providers in trios and Kadlec. No one was as good as this dr. She listened. She actually cared about my issues and how I felt. She came up with a solution to my issues and even said "if this doesn't work we will find something that does" she knows what being a doctor is all about. If all doctors were as great as she is the medical community would have so many patients that aren't scared to go. The time and effort dr Garcia put into my appointment was something I have been looking for, for the last 3 years

As always, Lisa is wonderful. She leads the midwives team and I have complete respect and trust with her. She's a wonderful asset to Kadlec in how much care and attention she provides with each time I see her. I've had the best interactions with her and the other midwives- the APW team can learn so much from her bedside manner and general way she provides information and actually show she cares- that you're not just another number/patient/client etc. Pay her more :-)

20 weeks pregnant, I switched from the regular APW providers to the mid wives and this is the first time I feel like I'm getting sufficient care and a provider who actually cares about me and my baby. This is also the first time during my pregnancy I have been asked what I would like or prefer rather than just being told what to do with minimal explanation. I highly recommend this office and Lisa Garcia.

Lisa is the best provider I've ever had the experience of dealing with. She is attentive, gives you the time and concern that is rare these days. Leaving appointments actually is a reassuring and enjoyable process. I would recommend her to any woman in need of midwife care or general OB needs. In fact I already have recommended her. SHE IS WONDERFUL- pay her more!

Lisa Garcia is kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. I felt like she genuinely cared about me and the issue at hand. She explained what was going one, gave me all my options and then validated my decision. I have seen Lisa Garcia over the last 10 years for my gynecological issues and she is the same then as she is now. I truly appreciate her care.

The moment Lisa walked in, she made me feel comfortable. She explained in detail any questions/concerns I had. She also made sure to sit right in front of me and my partner and made eye contact throughout the entire time spent with her and this reassured me that she was listening to us. She was very respectful and understanding.
