Well Woman Exam in Princeton, NJ
When was your last well woman exam and did you actually leave feeling heard? Too many women walk out of routine visits with unanswered questions, rushed screenings, and no real conversation about how they are feeling. That is not the standard of care you deserve.
At Jersey Family Health, our annual well woman exam is a dedicated visit focused entirely on your health as a woman. Dr. Salman Saad, MD and Dr. Moizah Saad, DO provides comprehensive well woman health screenings for women of all ages at our clinic in Princeton, NJ addressing reproductive health, hormonal wellness, preventive screenings, and long-term well-being in one thorough appointment.
We accept most major insurance plans and offer a Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership — giving women consistent, unhurried access to the care they need without the frustration of long waits or impersonal visits.
Why the Annual Well Woman Exam Matters
Women’s health needs change over time and often involve many different factors. Hormones, reproductive health, heart health, bone strength, and emotional well-being all play a role and a well-woman exam brings everything together in one focused visit to make sure nothing is overlooked.
Many conditions that affect women most cervical cancer, breast cancer, osteoporosis, thyroid disease, and cardiovascular disease are far more manageable when caught early through routine well woman health screenings. Skipping annual exams does not mean nothing is happening. It means nothing is being caught.
Well Woman Care at Every Stage of Life
A woman’s health needs shift significantly across her lifetime. Our well woman exams are tailored to what matters most at each stage.
Young Women (18–39)
The focus at this stage is establishing healthy baselines, reproductive health, and early preventive care.
- Pap smear and HPV screening on the recommended schedule
- Contraception counseling and family planning discussions
- STI screening based on risk factors
- Menstrual health assessment — irregular cycles, painful periods, PCOS
- Mental health screening — anxiety, depression, stress
- Baseline blood pressure, cholesterol, and metabolic health labs
Middle-Aged Women (40–55)
Perimenopause, cardiovascular risk, and cancer screenings become central priorities at this stage.
- Perimenopause and hormonal health assessment
- Mammography referral based on risk and age
- Cardiovascular risk evaluation — blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes
- Thyroid function testing
- Colorectal cancer screening discussion
- Weight and metabolic health management
Older Women (55+)
Bone health, heart disease, and cancer surveillance take priority in the later years of a woman’s health journey.
- Menopause management — hormonal and non-hormonal options
- Bone density screening — DEXA scan referral when indicated
- Comprehensive cardiovascular risk management
- Continued breast and cervical cancer surveillance
- Cognitive health and mental wellness check-in
- Medication review and chronic condition management
Preventive family medicine reduces long-term complications and supports healthier aging.
What Is Included in a Well Woman Exam
Our well woman clinic visit is comprehensive covering every aspect of your health that matters at your specific stage of life. No two exams look exactly alike because no two patients are the same.
We review your full medical, reproductive, and family history including menstrual health, pregnancy history, contraception use, prior surgeries, chronic conditions, and any symptoms you have been experiencing. This gives us a complete picture before the physical examination begins.
A thorough head-to-toe physical examination covers vital signs, blood pressure, weight, BMI, thyroid, abdomen, and cardiovascular health. A pelvic exam is performed when clinically indicated based on your age and health history.
We perform Pap smears and HPV co-testing in line with current clinical guidelines — every 3 years for women aged 21–65, or every 5 years with combined HPV testing. We review your results with you directly and explain what they mean for your ongoing cervical health.
We conduct a clinical breast exam and assess your personal and family risk for breast cancer. Based on your risk profile and age, we provide guidance on mammography scheduling and refer you for imaging when appropriate.
We address menstrual irregularities, contraception, family planning, perimenopause, and menopause in a comfortable, open conversation. Hormonal concerns — including mood changes, fatigue, weight shifts, and libido — are taken seriously and discussed with clinical depth.
Confidential STI testing is available as part of your well woman visit. We screen based on your individual risk factors and provide results and next steps in a straightforward, non-judgmental manner.
We order age-appropriate lab work including a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, thyroid function, cholesterol, blood glucose, vitamin D, and iron levels. Lab results are reviewed with you at follow-up and integrated into your ongoing care plan.
Bone density loss accelerates after menopause and often goes undetected until a fracture occurs. We assess your bone health risk and refer for DEXA scanning when clinically indicated, along with guidance on calcium, vitamin D, and lifestyle factors that protect bone density.
