Herman, RNC GONP, Lisa Largent, RN-C, WHNP, ANP, Jennifer Ferrara, ANP, and Janese Trivette, FNP
perform yearly checkups and PAP smears. We believe that the yearly exam & PAP smear is extremely
important. If you feel you may need to discuss other problems during this visit, let our appointment
scheduler know you may need the extra time. If your additional problems are significant, we may need to
either schedule another visit to be able to give them adequate time or if we have time, an additional
charge may apply. We feel strongly that education and information about your body and how to keep it
healthy is our duty to our patients.
Dr. Lovin is not presently performing routine physicals and PAPs, but she is available to see you upon
referral from our other providers or if you were to need surgery.
In keeping with this goal, we encourage our patients to use our Explain Patient Education system while in
our office to find answers to their questions and to obtain information on how to stay as healthy as
possible. And of course, all of our clinical staff are here to personally answer your questions and direct
you to additional sources of information!
A Woman's View is now using the
new improved Thin Prep® PAP
test. The cells from the cervix are
obtained basically the same way
as in the past, but instead of
immediately smearing the cells
onto a slide, the swabs are placed
in a solution which is then sent to
the lab for processing. Previously
the smear was often obscured by
blood or inflammation, but the new
Thin Prep® process removes the
debris from the cervical cells,
allowing them to be evaluated
more accurately. The cost of this
test is approximately $20 more
than the old one and is covered by
most insurance (if annual PAP
smears are covered).
