-
A well-woman exam with Dr. Tackore typically includes a review of your personal and family health history, a clinical breast exam, a pelvic exam, and — depending on your age and screening history — a Pap smear, HPV testing, and STI screening. Every visit also includes time to discuss contraception, menstrual health, and lifestyle guidance.
-
Most women should start Pap smear screening at age 21 and repeat every 3 years. Starting at age 30, screening every 5 years combined with HPV testing is also an option. Dr. Tackore will recommend the right interval for you based on your history and prior results
-
Under the Affordable Care Act, most insurance plans cover one well-woman exam per year at no cost — no copay, coinsurance, or deductible. Coverage can vary by plan, so it's worth confirming your specific benefits before your visit. Call 754-764-2555 if you have questions about coverage.
-
Most women benefit from starting annual well-woman visits around age 21, or earlier if they become sexually active, have menstrual irregularities, or have specific health concerns. Dr. Tackore tailors the visit — not every exam requires a pelvic exam at every age.
-
An abnormal Pap smear doesn't necessarily mean cancer — it often reflects HPV or minor cell changes that may resolve on their own. Dr. Tackore will explain your specific result and recommend next steps, which may include repeat testing, HPV testing, or a follow-up procedure called a colposcopy
-
STI testing isn't automatic at every visit — it's based on your risk factors, symptoms, and personal history. Dr. Tackore offers confidential, judgment-free STI screening and counseling as part of preventative care whenever it's appropriate for you.
-
A typical well-woman exam takes about 20–30 minutes, though your first visit or a visit that includes more in-depth counseling may run longer. Dr. Tackore prioritizes unhurried, personalized time with each patient.
Care That Builds a Relationship
Preventive care works best when it's consistent. Seeing the same doctor year after year means Dr. Tackore truly knows your history, notices subtle changes, and can offer guidance rooted in a genuine understanding of you — not just your chart.
