What Women’s Health Services Does Dr. Oldham Provide?
Dr. Oldham covers the full range of women’s health care that falls within family medicine with obstetrics: annual well-woman exams, Pap smears and cervical cancer screening per USPSTF guidelines, contraception counseling and management (oral contraceptives, IUDs, implants, injections), prenatal care from the first positive test through delivery, hospital deliveries (including high-risk pregnancies such as preeclampsia), postpartum follow-up including mood screening for postpartum depression, perimenopause and menopause symptom management, osteoporosis screening and prevention, and breast cancer screening referrals (mammography). Dr. Oldham’s additional OMT training means pregnancy-related back pain, pelvic dysfunction, and rib pain can be treated during a prenatal or postpartum visit rather than through a separate referral.
How Does Dr. Oldham Handle Prenatal Care and Delivery?
Prenatal care follows the standard schedule: monthly visits through 28 weeks, biweekly through 36 weeks, and weekly until delivery. Each visit includes weight, blood pressure, fundal height, fetal heart tones, and a review of labs and screening results. Dr. Oldham orders first-trimester labs (CBC, blood type, Rh, hepatitis B, HIV, rubella, STI panel), the glucose tolerance test at 24-28 weeks, Group B strep culture at 35-37 weeks, and ultrasounds as indicated.
Dr. Oldham delivers at Mountain View Hospital in Payson, Intermountain Spanish Fork Hospital, and Intermountain Utah Valley Hospital in Provo. Because the same physician manages prenatal care and performs the delivery, the patient doesn’t meet a stranger in labor and delivery. That continuity extends to postpartum care and newborn visits, all within the same practice.
What Contraception Options Does Dr. Oldham Offer?
Dr. Oldham provides counseling and management for the full range of reversible contraceptive methods: combined oral contraceptives, progestin-only pills, the hormonal IUD (Mirena, Kyleena, Liletta), the copper IUD (Paragard), the subdermal implant (Nexplanon), injectable contraception (Depo-Provera), the vaginal ring, and the patch. IUD insertion and removal and Nexplanon placement are performed in the office. Dr. Oldham discusses effectiveness, side effects, and patient preference before recommending a method. See the contraception and IUD page for details.
How Does Dr. Oldham Manage Menopause Symptoms?
Perimenopause and menopause bring a range of symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep disruption, vaginal dryness, and bone density loss, that many women tolerate for years without treatment. Dr. Oldham evaluates each patient’s symptom burden, medical history, and risk profile before recommending a management plan. Options include hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for appropriate candidates per the North American Menopause Society guidelines, non-hormonal alternatives (SSRIs, gabapentin, ospemifene), lifestyle modifications, and bone density screening (DEXA scan) for osteoporosis prevention.
Dr. Oldham has found that Spanish Fork patients going through menopause often benefit from a single long appointment where symptoms, lab work, bone health, cardiovascular risk, and mental health are all addressed together, rather than addressing each concern at a separate visit.
What Is a Well-Woman Exam and How Often Do You Need One?
A well-woman exam includes a breast exam, pelvic exam when indicated, Pap smear on the USPSTF schedule (every 3 years for ages 21-29 with cytology alone, every 3-5 years for ages 30-65 with cytology or HPV co-testing), STI screening based on risk, contraception review, and a general health assessment covering blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid, and mental health. Dr. Oldham recommends an annual well-woman visit even in years when a Pap is not due, because the visit covers much more than cervical screening.
Does Insurance Cover Women’s Health Services?
Under the ACA, well-woman exams, Pap smears, mammography referrals, contraception counseling, and prenatal visits are classified as preventive care and covered at no additional cost on most plans. The practice accepts 30+ insurance plans. Medicaid covers prenatal care and delivery in full. Call (385) 265-6060 to verify your specific coverage before scheduling.
