Comprehensive Gynecologic Care in Southern Oregon
Searching for an OBGYN in Medford, Oregon?
When searching for an OBGYN, many women assume they need one for all aspects of women’s health. However, unless you are pregnant or planning to conceive, you may not need an obstetrician (OB).
We Specialize in Gynecologic Care for Women at Every Stage of Life—Except During Pregnancy.
Whether you're experiencing menstrual issues, navigating menopause, or simply need routine screenings, SOGYN is here to provide expert, compassionate care tailored to your needs. We are committed to being the top women's health clinic in Medford, Oregon.
OBGYN vs. GYN: What’s the Difference?
Understanding the Roles
An OBGYN is a medical specialist trained in both obstetrics (pregnancy and childbirth) and gynecology (women’s reproductive health). While OBGYNs can provide general gynecologic care, they often focus on pregnancy-related services. A GYN, on the other hand, is a specialist dedicated solely to gynecology, offering comprehensive care for all non-pregnancy-related women’s health issues.
Why Choose SOGYN?
At SOGYN, we understand that women’s health needs go far beyond pregnancy. Our team focuses exclusively on gynecologic care, providing specialized attention to a wide range of women’s health concerns. Whether you need routine screenings, treatment for menstrual issues, or expert guidance through menopause, SOGYN is the right choice for comprehensive care.

When You Need an OBGYN
