The OB/GYN clinic provides comprehensive women's health care, which consists of low and high risk obstetrics, gynecology, and family planning services. The clinic provides a continuum of services to women of all ages (adolescent to geriatric).
UCLA has been designated a National Center of Excellence in Women's Health by the US Department of Health and Human Services, one of only thirteen centers nationwide. This distinction recognizes UCLA as a model for women's healthcare, uniting research, clinical care, medical training, public health education and the promotion of women's health issues.
The OB/GYN Department of the David Geffen School of Medicine ranks 7th in National Institutes of Health (NIH) research funding, with our patients benefiting from quick translation of research into world-class treatment. As a part of this world class team of professionals, the OB/GYN Clinic is committed to providing the highest level of patient care and outstanding training to the next generation of physicians.
For nearly five decades, UCLA Medical Center has provided both routine and specialized care for millions of patients from the greater Los Angeles community as well as from around the world. The Medical Center is the primary teaching hospital for the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. It has been judged the best hospital in the Western United States for the 16th consecutive year - and moved up to No. 3 in the nation -according to U.S. News & World Report.
Comprehensive women's healthcare, including annual wellness visits, routine screenings, and prenatal care, are provided for women of all ages. Routine screenings include pap smears to detect cervical cancer. For women who receive an abnormal pap test result, the clinic offers colposcopy, a procedure that allows specialists to use a high-powered microscope to carefully evaluate the cervix. Physicians may perform a LEEP or cryotherapy procedure to remove abnormal tissue from the cervix.
The clinic offers comprehensive cervical cancer screening and treatment options. Your physician will advise you on the best options for your care.

We provide first and second trimester pregnancy terminations utilizing various methods; a fertility control consultation is included with each encounter. Our physicians will help you determine the appropriate method:
-
Non-surgical terminations using a combination of medications are offered
to appropriate patients up to 63 days gestation. This procedure uses two medicines to end a pregnancy. The first pill, mifepristone, is taken in the office with the physician. The second medication, misoprostol, is inserted vaginally at home. These two medications work together to end the pregnancy and empty the uterus. You will experience cramping and bleeding similar to a heavy period. Spotting and bleeding usually lasts for two weeks. A return visit is needed to ensure the termination is complete.
-
This procedure is performed in the clinic and takes 5-10 minutes.
A combination of agents is used to gently prepare the cervix and empty the uterus; ultrasound is used to ensure the procedure is successful. Pregnancy terminations after 17 weeks and medically complex cases are performed in the UCLA Medical Center operating room. Genetic testing of pregnancy tissue is performed in cases of abnormal pregnancy.
