Comprehensive Women's Healthcare
Obstetrics refers to the branch of medicine and surgery relating to pregnancy and childbirth. Each year our doctors deliver hundreds of babies. We work hard with our patients to ensure that every one of those babies gets the best possible start. This is accomplished with an individual approach to each woman’s pregnancy, a safe and satisfying delivery experience, and after-delivery care. The doctors and nurse practitioners of Comprehensive Women’s Healthcare chose to practice obstetrics because they feel strongly that every mother and child deserve the best in prenatal care and continue to appreciate the wonder of this process with each patient and family.
Obstetrical care at Comprehensive Women's Healthcare is special because we provide:
- An appointment early in pregnancy to provide an initial evaluation and introduction to your pregnancy care. This initial appointment is a time to review your personal and family medical history, review your individual concerns about your childbearing experience, and begin your pregnancy year journey.
- Nutrition, exercise guidance, and education.
- Fast, easy access to your own doctor for your regular prenatal appointments.

Vaginal Rejuvenation
Bearing children, hormonal changes and gravity can take a toll on a woman’s most private areas. Vaginal dryness, painful sex, vaginal laxity and urine leakage can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. CWH offers a painless, nonsurgical treatment for these conditions called Votiva Forma V. Votiva uses radiofrequency energy to tighten tissue and stimulate the production of collagen, which is the protein in your vaginal tissue that provides strength and elasticity. The energy Votiva produces also improves circulation to the tissue to restore moisture and health.
This painless procedure directly treats the vaginal tissue, and improves pelvic floor muscle tone. The procedure involves inserting a lubricated probe into the vagina and a 15 minute painless treatment is performed.
The sensation is described as being similar to having a hot stone massage. The package typically consists of 3 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. If you are interested in learning if you could benefit from this revolutionary procedure, schedule a consultation today!
Weight Management
Obesity is a complex medical condition that affects 42% of American adults, and is associated with numerous health problems including heavy and irregular periods, infertility, pregnancy complications, diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, and certain types of cancer.

Hormone Therapy
Women in the US are living longer and placing a greater emphasis on staying as healthy as possible through diet, exercise, and good medical care. We are all aware of decreasing hormone levels as we age. This can have a detrimental effect on us physically and mentally, affecting our daily lives. We want to sleep better, be more vibrant, decrease fatigue, increase sexual desire, and have a more enjoyable sexual experience.
CWH has always been committed to evaluating, counseling, and treating the female patient to significantly improve her life. The advent of bio-identical hormone pellets has given our providers the ability to achieve excellent hormone blood levels resulting in improvements in hot flushes, sleep quality, energy levels and sexual desire. CWH is not a “med-spa”, but a group of board certified OB/GYN surgeons and nurse practitioners who have spent years studying the complex female hormonal system. Dr. Mechelke is now seeing male patients for low testosterone (Low T). If you interested in learning if you can benefit from hormone pellet therapy, schedule a consultation today!
