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.

Dr Austin is a great doctor. She spent the time with me to go over my results and answer all my questions

Excellent explanation given with concern and compassion.

Dr. Grimes takes the time to listen, and explains everything

Karen makes it so easy to talk to her about any concerns and or questions that I have about my health. She does not rush my time with her. I always feel heard.

Gynecological Exams

Dr Bonvicino is very warm, understanding, kind and caring.

I feel I am receiving great care. Dr. Wiener is a great doctor, the U S tech was wonderful. I am impressed with the medical/nurse assistant , I think his name is Jason, I believe he is the only male tech in the office. He replied to my voice mail late on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving with a prescription and test results that I asked about. That was greatly appreciated!

Every visit I have is very thorough. I always feel listened to by Dr. Schad and she takes her time. The two visits I have had I left very happy.

I have found all the staff that I have interacted with to be caring, understanding, and respectful. It is easy to feel uncomfortable as a patient, due to the types of exams that may be given. The staff goes out of their way to make their patients feel comfortable and respected.
