OB/GYN Associates of Columbus

The office of OB/GYN Associates of Columbus is open Monday - Friday from 8am - 4pm. Our office hours are by appointment. We have found over the years that this provides the most convenient and best service for you.

For your first visit, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment time so that we may obtain the information required for establishing your care.

• Each visit bring your insurance card with you as well as a list of your current medications.
• Please inform the front desk staff of any change in name, address, telephone number, employment or insurance.
• Always inform your physician of any changes in medical history.

If you have an urgent need to be seen, please call as soon as possible, and we will try to accommodate you. We do our best to stay on schedule, but emergencies may sometimes cause unexpected delays. You play a major role in helping us stay on schedule. If you are running late, please phone before you come, as we may ask you to reschedule your appointment so that our other patients are not inconvenienced. Occasionally, due to the nature of the specialty, the physician seeing obstetric patients may be called to the hospital for a delivery.

If you are unable to keep your appointment, please notify us as soon as possible.

Please extend these courtesies to others in our office: no smoking, no perfumes. Please turn off your cell phone when entering the office.

Gardasil Cervical Cancer Vaccine
OB/GYN Associates is offering Gardasil®, the first vaccine developed to prevent cervical cancer, precancerous genital lesions and genital warts due to human papillomavirus (HPV). The vaccine does not substitute for annual checkups.

Solving Stress Incontinence
Stress incontinence – releasing your bladder when you laugh, sneeze, cough or participate in physical activity – is discouraging. A urethral sling is one of the methods used to solve this potentially embarrassing problem, and the doctors at OB/GYN Associates are trained in the procedure.
