I wish a courtesy call had been made regarding the co-pay and it would have been best if the front office staff had told me when I made my consultation appointment that I would have a pelvic exam. Overall the staff was really kind and Dr. Carroll was so informative and thoughtful.

To say Dr. Carroll was amazing would be an understatement. She is the best Dr. I have ever been seen by in my life. She was caring, attentive, listened to all my questions, answered all my questions and I told Her that her profession was absolutely her calling. EVERY Dr. should be like her. If I could have her as my PCP I would.

I interacted with at least 6 team members and I must say 4 were Phenomenal and 2 were good. In no way were they worthy of a complaint. They did the job as required or outlined in the company standards and expectations. They just did not stand out with enthusiasm like the others and it was noticeable. Great job to everyone who made my traumatic experience pleasant. I really appreciate you all!

Dr. Carroll is the perfect blend of knowledge and compassion in a doctor. I would highly recommend her and her practice. She truly is a special physician who cares about her job and her patients. While I'm sad she can't be my doctor forever, I'm so thankful for her and know she will continue to be a blessing to so many.

Dr. Carroll and her nurse are the most compassionate and supportive people I have met. They listened to me very carefully and reassured me through every step. Angeliea was amazing!! She was very thorough and she made me feel comfortable as if I was sitting talking to a long time friend. Dr. Carroll was equally amazing and did not talk down to me as if she was superior but talked to me woman to woman. I cannot thank her staff enough for the welcoming feeling I had as soon as I walked through the door. Customer service, communication and compassion was exceptional from the time I got there until the time I walked out the door from each person I came in contact with. Thank you sincerely!!

Lower Your Risk & Recognize Signs of Gynecological Cancer
In recent years, most cervical cancers have become completely preventable with a vaccine, and there are screening tests to identify it early. However, it’s important for women to understand the warning signs of gynecological cancers that don’t have screening tests, such as:
At your annual women’s health appointment, it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider about your family history and lifestyle choices that can make a positive impact on your health. Here are some ideas to consider lowering your risk for different types of gynecological cancer:
Share your family history with your healthcare provider. Only about 5 to 10% of gynecological cancers are genetic, according to Wellstar Gynecologic Oncologist Dr. Amy Carroll. However, some patients may benefit from genetic risk assessment, which looks for hereditary gene mutations that increase an individual’s risk for ovarian cancer.
Maintain a healthy weight or lose weight. Women who are overweight have a higher risk of being diagnosed with the most common type of endometrial (uterine) cancer– and for the cancer to return after treatment. This is a challenge for many people and your health providers want you to feel empowered–not embarrassed–to discuss your BMI, nutrition, weight reduction and wellness.
Stay tobacco-free or quit tobacco. Again, many health providers can help women with education and resources to quit smoking or vaping for the long haul. Quitting tobacco can reduce your risk for some gynecological cancers and many other health conditions.
Watch for changes in your body & talk to your doctor
Because there are no screening tests for gynecological cancers other than cervical cancer, it is important for women to be educated on the signs and symptoms—and to act on them.
“Unfortunately, there are many vague symptoms associated with a lot of gynecologic issues,” Dr. Carroll said. “Typically, I tell people if you have any symptom that doesn’t come and go but persists for a couple weeks or more, it’s worthwhile to talk to somebody about it.”
Dr. Carroll said that one symptom patients should always discuss with their provider is post-menopausal bleeding. Also, while most people experience occasional bloating, persistent bloating can be a sign of ovarian cancer and should be discussed with a provider, she said.
Signs & symptoms of gynecological cancer
Some gynecological symptoms to discuss with your doctor include:
Vaginal bleeding after menopause
Excessively heavy menstrual cycles
Abnormal bleeding between periods
Unexplained pelvic or abdominal pain, bloating or nausea
Discharge or pain with intercourse
Severe change in bowel or bladder habits
A heavy feeling in the pelvis
A sore or lump in your vulva
The highest level of treatment for gynecological cancer
The physicians and healthcare teams at Wellstar are focused on keeping women healthy and preventing and lowering the risk of cancer and other health conditions. However, when a woman does get gynecological cancer, she has access to a team of experienced and knowledgeable gynecological cancer experts close to home.
Our gynecologic cancer care program includes:
A gynecological cancer-specific multidisciplinary tumor conference where gynecological oncologists, radiation and pathologists meet to diagnose and plan treatment.
Gynecologic cancer surgeons who perform procedures robotically, laparoscopically or as open procedures, based on evidence-based practices that lead to the best outcomes.
A robust support network that includes cancer-specific nutritional counseling, genetic counseling, nurse navigation, psychological counseling and more.
Wellstar Research Institute and Northwest Georgia Oncology Centers work closely with select local and national partners to give patients access to the latest clinical trials without leaving their communities.
Most health plans cover preventative care services—like vaccines and screening tests—at no additional cost. For people without insurance, Wellstar practices have low-cost annual exams that include evaluation for cervical cancer and a Pap test if it is medically appropriate.
