Primary care for women: the role of the obstetrician-gynecologist.

It is critical to understand that "one size does not fit all" in health care. Each patient is unique and involved in her own destiny. Our goal should be to maximize her health status, to provide health education, and to advocate for her health and well-being. We must implement a spectrum of primary care in the office to further expand the excellent health care that obstetrician-gynecologists have always provided to women.
