      Philosophy of care | My philosophy revolves around optimizing quality of life through minimally invasive options. I was fortunate during my training to work with nationally recognized surgeons, leading to experience in complex gynecologic care and allowing me to be an early adopter of minimally invasive options. Such advances give patients same-day options that allow them to return to their busy lives faster. I have advocated in many hospital systems for laparoscopy, robotics, minimally invasive procedures for incontinence and office-based procedures. Minimal pain, faster recovery and cutting-edge technology is the platform for all my patient care. Many are not aware that a simple solution exists for what is often an embarrassing topic to discuss. | Why I entered medicine | As a child, I was inspired by my father, who practiced medicine. As I pursued a medical career, I recognized immediately how much I was drawn to surgery and women's health. As a doctor and working mother, I focused on learning approaches that would bring more women back to their family life expeditiously. Today I have the privilege of making a profound impact on the lives of my patients. Through my ongoing pursuit of the latest in research, innovation and technology, I strive to limit pain, cure disease and improve the overall health and well-being of many women. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with family. I am fond of the outdoors, enjoying activities such as skiing, hiking, biking, paddleboarding and kayaking. I also love to cook, travel and read in my free time. Dr. Ailawadi is highly rated in 4 conditions, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are Rectocele, Stress Urinary Incontinence, Uterine Prolapse, and Urinary Incontinence.

      Philosophy of care | I strongly support patient autonomy. I see part of my job as providing information, discussing treatment options and helping women make choices they feel is best for them.

I'm compassionate and practice evidence-based medicine. | Why I entered medicine | Obstetrics and gynecology provides an opportunity to practice lifelong continuity, preventive medicine, primary care and medical-surgical treatment. Sharing the experience of childbirth with a family is tremendously rewarding. | Community involvement | I spent a total of 12 years in the U.S. Army, eight of those years as an OB/GYN. The leadership and training I received were invaluable and provided me with a solid foundation. Along with other LVHN heath care providers, I have visited Haiti twice in 2017 working with The Haiti Health Trust. I also participate in the Haiti Medical Education project and video-lecture medical and nursing students as well as OBGYN residents throughout Haiti. | Personal interests | In my spare time, I do whatever my kids ask me to do. If I were not practicing medicine, I would be a tornado chaser or auditioning for the E Street Band. Becoming a super-delegate would also have perks.

      Philosophy of care | I have two young daughters and had a complicated pregnancy myself, so I understand what my patients are experiencing. I feel that it is very important to involve them in their care. I take the time to ensure that they understand their diagnosis, what it means to them and their baby, and what options are available. Together, we can then make decisions that are truly in the patient's best interests. | Why I entered medicine | My parents tell me that I've wanted to be a doctor since I was 4 years old. My pediatrician was most influential. She was gentle and caring, including me in everything she did. I loved using her stethoscope and looking in her ears. I remember wanting to be just like her. I entered medical school planning to be a pediatrician but found myself drawn to obstetrics. There was something very special about caring for pregnant women and being part of their nine-month journey. It was my natural path. | Community involvement | I am active in my church, and I participate in many activities that support children and families, such as Toys for Tots, the March of Dimes walk and community clothing drives. | Personal interests | When I am not working, I love to spend time with my husband and two young daughters.

      What is an OB-GYN? 

      An obstetrician-gynecologist (OB-GYN) is a doctor specializing in the reproductive health, pregnancy, and childbirth of individuals assigned female at birth. Obstetricians focus on care during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum, while gynecologists manage conditions affecting the female reproductive system, like menstrual disorders or infections. Most OB-GYNs are trained in both fields, which allows them to handle a wide range of health needs. Gynecologists who are not also obstetricians do not deliver babies, while OB-GYNs typically provide this service. 

      What are the different types of OB-GYNs?      

      OB-GYNs can specialize in various areas, depending on their training and focus: 

      • General OB-GYNs: Provide comprehensive reproductive health care, including routine exams, contraception, and pregnancy care. 
      • Gynecologic Oncologists: Specialize in diagnosing and treating cancers of the female reproductive system. 

      How often should I visit an OB-GYN? 

      The frequency of visits depends on your health and circumstances

      • Individuals who are not pregnant: Should visit an OB-GYN once a year for preventive care, including pelvic exams and screenings. 
      • Pregnant individuals: Typically have monthly visits during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy, biweekly visits from weeks 28 to 36, and weekly visits from week 36 until delivery. 

      Your doctor might recommend more frequent visits if you have a high-risk condition. 

      What age should an individual start seeing an OB-GYN?     

      People assigned female at birth should schedule their first visit to an OB-GYN between the ages of 13 and 15. This initial visit is often a conversation about health, development, and any questions or concerns. Pap smear screenings for cervical cancer generally begin at age 21, although earlier screenings may be recommended based on individual health needs, such as having a family history of cervical cancer. 

      Can OB-GYNs perform surgeries?    

      Yes, OB-GYNs are trained surgeons capable of performing a wide range of procedures. Common surgeries include cesarean sections (C-sections), hysterectomies, laparoscopic surgeries for conditions like endometriosis, and removal of ovarian cysts. They also perform minimally invasive procedures like dilation and curettage (D&C) or tubal ligation for sterilization. Some OB-GYNs focus heavily on surgical care, depending on their specialization or patient needs. 

      When should I see an OBGYN near Allentown, PA?

      There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

      • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
      • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
      • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
      • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
      • You want a second opinion.  

      What should I consider when choosing a OBGYN near Allentown, PA?

      It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

      How does MediFind rank OBGYNs near Allentown, PA?

      MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

      What types of insurance are accepted by OBGYNs near Allentown, PA?

      Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

      How can I book an appointment online with a OBGYN in Allentown?

      MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the OBGYN search results page. 

      Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different OBGYN?

      Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

      How can I prepare for my appointment with a OBGYN near Allentown, PA?

      Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

      • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
      • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
      • Family history of disease 
      • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
      • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
      • List of questions and concerns 
      • Your insurance card 

      You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

      What questions should I ask my OBGYN?

      Here are some sample questions: 

      • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
      • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
      • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
      • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
      • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

      How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my OBGYN may know about?

      MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

      MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

      Can I filter my search to show male or female OBGYNs near Allentown, PA?

      Look for the filter feature on the left side of the OBGYN search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

      Can I filter my search to find a OBGYN that offers video calls?

      Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the OBGYN search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
