How We Care for You

We offer comprehensive, state-of-the-art care for women and birthing people. This includes both pregnancy care and a full range of gynecology services.

Many of our patients are referred to us by community clinics across San Francisco for specialized gynecology care, but you don’t need a referral to see us. We also welcome patients who come to us directly for routine visits, like Pap smears, STI testing, and annual gynecology check-ups.

If you’re pregnant, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Most patients start prenatal care between 8 and 12 weeks of pregnancy. At your first visit, a nurse will review your medical history and help create a personalized care plan.

We serve our whole community by providing full-time translator services in 23 different languages and gender inclusive care. You will be treated with dignity and respect.

We have a diverse, multidisciplinary team that includes fully licensed physicians, midwives, nurse practitioners, social workers, behavioral health workers, and more.

Sexual and Reproductive Care (Outside of Pregnancy)

We are experts in routine care, such as pap smears and birth control.

Pregnancy Care

You can choose to receive care from a doctor, certified nurse-midwife, or nurse practitioner. You can decide whether you prefer individual appointments or group care through our Centering Pregnancy program.

  • Ultrasounds

  • Social work support
  • Pregnancy education classes
  • Community health navigators to help guide you through your care

Understanding Your Options for How You Receive Care

Physician Service

Our physicians are board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology.

When a pregnant patient has medical problems or complicated pregnancies, they are referred to one of our obstetricians (perinatologists) with specialized training in high-risk obstetrics.

Midwifery Service

Nurse-midwives provide holistic prenatal care for low-risk pregnancies.. We arrange for the patient to be cared for by the same nurse-midwife throughout their pregnancy. This helps ensure a safe delivery of their baby at the hospital. We are proud to provide full-time, hospital-based nurse midwifery service in San Francisco.

Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs)

NPs and PAs are licensed clinicians with advanced training in care during pregnancy and after childbirth. The same NP or PA will see you throughout your pregnancy and can continue to see you for gynecology and family planning care after you deliver your baby.

Centering Pregnancy

We provide prenatal care in groups staffed by nurse-midwives. This model of care gives the patient an opportunity to meet other people at the same stage in pregnancy, spend more time discussing health education topics, and share about the highs and lows of pregnancy and parenting in a nonjudgmental space. We offer groups for Spanish-speaking and Black-identified patients.

Team Lily

Team Lily is a multidisciplinary care team providing person-centered, trauma-informed, wrap-around services to pregnant and postpartum people. We support pregnant people experiencing significant barriers to accessing clinic-based prenatal care, including those experiencing homelessness, substance use disorders, incarceration, intimate partner violence, and/or mental illness.

HIVE

HIVE Clinic provides multidisciplinary preconception, prenatal, gynecologic, and sexual health care to people living with and affected by HIV. This includes serodifferent couples (when one partner is living with HIV and the other is not).
