Southern Ob-Gyn Associates

Our medical group was first established in 1955 by Thomas H. Moseley, Sr., M.D. Today, our practice includes six quality-trained physicians, five nurse midwives, and two nurse practitioners. The team at Southern OB/GYN prides itself on providing care rooted in core family values, with a passion and vision to bring the latest in technological advancements to the region.

We take pride in detecting medical problems early and providing a comprehensive line of the most advanced treatments for a wide range of gynecologic conditions. From contraception to menopause, we thoroughly discuss all of the options to help you make the best decisions to meet your individual needs. To maintain your overall health, we encourage our patients to have annual exams for proper screening and evaluation.

Women should be prepared to discuss their family medical history and be ready for questions about their menstrual cycle. The pelvic exam, which includes a pap smear, only lasts a few minutes and the exam itself doesn't hurt. Your doctor will explain the process before beginning the exam. Your doctor will typically begin the annual exam with a breast exam to check for lumps that may be a sign of cancer. Your physician will then check the external genital area for irritations, cysts or other problems.

Birth control, also known as contraception, is any method used to prevent pregnancy. Choosing birth control is a personal choice, and it is important to learn as much as you can about the various methods - both hormonal and non-hormonal. Each has advantages and disadvantages, including effectiveness, side effects and health risks.
