Family Planning/ Contraception

Lifeline Medical Associates physicians can help you make informed decisions about when and if you want children. Understanding your options and planning for the family you want are important aspects of maintaining your health and well-being throughout all stages of your life.

Find A Provider

Why do you need family planning healthcare services?

About half of the pregnancies in the US each year are unintended. When you are better prepared for your pregnancy mentally and physically, you and your baby can get the quality preconception and prenatal care you both need to keep everyone safe and healthy.

Pregnancy spacing is another important aspect of family planning that a physician can help you plan. It’s recommended that pregnancies are spaced at least 18 months apart. Depending on your situation, you may need to, or want to, space your pregnancies even further apart.

If you have decided you do not want to have children, a professional healthcare provider will guide you through your options for birth control. Your physician will get to know you to develop a personalized plan that works for you, keeping in mind your medical situation as well as other factors in your life.

Breast Exam

Amazing bedside manner.

Office Visit / Follow-up

Jennifer Short is understanding, kind and knowledgeable.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Through exam

Gynecological Exams

Elena is very caring, personable and knowledgeable.

Always a welcoming office. Kind informative and nice.

The office staff was very friendly. Dr Azevedo was very friendly, professional, and efficient.

Regular visit..Dr. Steinbach was great as always but there were some issues with the computers and my patient info was not available when I arrived. Also, though I know I've updated my phone info, reminder texts were sent to my work landline. And the office didn't have my cell number on file. I've never noticed any kind of disorganization in the office before and I've been a patient for at least 15 years. I can totally sympathize with the difficulties of transitioning to a new info management system. I'm sure it will be resolved before my next visit.

Dr. Iammateo is the best! Always sincere and warm.

STI Testing / Treatment

She was very attentive. The dr was very knowledgeable about my concerns

Check in process was simple. My wait time was minimal. My appointment went well, all questions were answered and concerns discussed. Only hiccup is waiting at the end to check out. No notice of where to actually checkout. If there is a certain window to report to it, etc.

The appointment ran on time, comfortable and professional interaction. Thorough conversation.

The staffs treat me like family.

Friendly, listened and addressed concerns

I was very satisfied with my experience with the staff - the only thing that makes me rate less than a 5 star is that I had to wait about 20 minutes in the room by myself before the doctor came in

Excellent service when you come in, all personal services are so respectful generous and I love it most all the personal speak my language Spanish.

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

Courtney was very attentive and thorough as well as gentle during the internal examination

Attentive, friendly, puts me at ease and doesn’t rush during my appointment.

The waiting time was minimal which was great! Dr Patrusky is so pleasant and very caring

Birth Control Consultation
