What Is an Irregular Period?
In an ideal world, your periods arrive on time each month, don’t pose any issues in terms of flow, and quietly go away until the next round. But for up to one-quarter of women, periods fall far short of this ideal.
Join Dr. Willen as he reveals the latest treatments to breeze through menopause!
Tahoe Women's Care is happy to announce that we are now providing Covid-19 screening for symptomatic and asymptomatic patients.
To schedule a screening you must call our office at 775-267-6700, answer a brief verbal questionnaire and will be swabbed in our parking lot upon arrival. We do not bill insurance for this service and patients will be charged at the time of visit.
Tahoe Women's Care is actively working towards a healthier community and is excited to provide this service to the members of our community
Please know that we are still serving our patients,
although a bit differently now.
Women still have health problems and concerns that need to be addressed. If you need to see us, know that for your safety and for the safety of our employees, we have made the following changes:
➤ FIRST - WE DON'T SEE SICK PATIENTS IN OUR OFFICE - NO ONE COMES TO US FOR THEIR RESPIRATORY ILLNESS.
➤ WE DO, HOWEVER, REALIZE THAT YOUR HEALTH CONCERNS MAY REQUIRE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR HOME AND COME TO OUR OFFICE AND THEREFORE WE WILL TAKE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR YOU AND FOR OUR STAFF.
We understand if you prefer to remain at home and we will happily reschedule your appointment. If, however, you have health concerns, please know that we are here to care for you.
STAY SAFE, WASH YOUR HANDS, AND DON'T TOUCH YOUR FACE!!!
