Gynecology
Caring for women through every stage of their lives.
A woman’s life is expansive and nuanced– her health care should be, too. At Siouxland Women’s Health Care, we practice preventative care in addition to treating a wide spectrum of gynecologic issues, including infections, irregular bleeding, abnormal pap smears, polyps, fibroids and cysts. We perform minor procedures, like biopsies, treatment for abnormal pap smears, and IUD insertions, here in our office. We perform minimally invasive and major surgeries at our affiliated hospitals.
We provide a full range of gynecologic services for women from the teenage through post-menopausal years. The foundation of our gynecology practice is preventative or ‘well woman’ care. Most of our patients see us for an annual check-up, which consists of a comprehensive review and update of their overall health, a full exam, a discussion of any findings or concerns, routine lab tests, referrals for other services, and recommendations for health maintenance.

“Haven’t had a Pap smear done for more than 25 years. Had a bad experience once and I was so anxious, had almost cancelled. But meeting Jodi was the best. She was so gentle, very genuinely caring. I recommend her 100%. Thank you Jodi you are the best! It felt like I was talking to my best friend!"
Preventative Care
Annual check-ups play a vital role in women’s health. Visits include a comprehensive review and update of overall health status, a full exam, a discussion of any findings, routine lab tests, referrals for other services, and recommendations for health maintenance. Most women don’t need to have a Pap smear every year. Your annual visit remains essential for preventive health care.

Contraception
At Siouxland Women’s Health, we believe that women should be in control of their reproductive health. Beyond preventing pregnancy, contraception provides other benefits for patients seeking to regulate their cycle, prevent side effects such as menstrual migraines or heavy flow, or assist in the treatment of health conditions like endometriosis or polycystic ovarian syndrome. We offer a range of contraceptive options; ask our doctors about a treatment plan that matches your goals.

If you’re having trouble getting pregnant, you’re not alone. Over 10% of couples in the United States suffer from infertility today. If your dreams of starting a family aren’t happening, our caring physicians understand. We’re experienced in addressing the many different causes of infertility.

Adolescents & Teens
A teen’s first visit to the gynecologist can be a milestone– and also a bit intimidating. At Siouxland Women’s Health Care, we take the time to guide young women through their first annual exam and answer any questions she may have. We offer the Gardasil® HPV Vaccination for teens, which protects against the HPV virus (which can result in cervical cancer and genital warts).
“We were very impressed with Dr. LaFavor! She was very thorough and knowledgeable, but also kind and personable. She really knew how to connect with my teenage daughter! This was a great first experience! Highly recommended!”
Perimenopause, Menopause & Healthy Aging
Just like puberty, perimenopause and menopause can be a time of intense transition. We provide expert support, information and care for women during perimenopause, menopause and beyond.
