Dr. Steven
R. Goldstein MD is a top Gynecologist in
NYC providing individualized care to patients. At his practice, Dr
Goldstein is the only medical personnel you will see from beginning to end of
your visit. He personally performs all examinations and conducts all procedures
himself.
Current
guidelines state that women should have their first pap test at age 21 and have
one every two years. However, Dr. Goldstein strongly recommends women have a
Pap Smear exam done annually to help detect the presence of any cervical cancer
cells. Cervical cancer has been on the decline over the last decade thanks to
pap smears, however in 2016 13,000 women were diagnosed with invasive cervical
cancer.
Dr.
Goldstein performs pap smear exams in his office and evaluates patients with
abnormal pap smear results. All abnormal pap smears indicate is that there has
been a change in the cervical cells. This doesn’t necessarily mean there is
cancer present. Changes in the cervical cells can be due to infection,
inflammation, changes in the menstrual cycle, or in some cases pre-cancerous or
cancerous cells.
In these cases Dr. Goldstein will
carefully review your case and determine if further tests are needed or if
necessary advise of the best available non-invasive treatment options available
to you.
If you are
in need of a pap smear or have had a pap smear with abnormal results, then
contact Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD. In addition to being a top Gynecologist in
NYC, Dr. Goldstein is also a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at
New York University School of Medicine, Director of Gynecologic Ultrasound at
NYU Langone Medical Center and the author of over seven books on Gynecology. He
is regarded as one of the best Gynecologists in the US.
