Fiesta Lime Chicken

1 1/2 cups cooked long grain rice
3/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and heated
3/4 cup cooked corn, heated
1 large tomato, diced
1 large scallion, fine diced
2-4 tbsp chopped cilantro (to your liking)
1 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
salt to taste
In a large bowl, combine hot rice, heated corn, heated beans, tomato , scallion, cilantro, lime juice and salt if needed. Toss and serve

Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken

1 1/2 lbs raw skinless chicken tenders
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp oregano
1/8 tsp cumin
salt, to taste
16 oz roasted salsa verde (my favorite is Whole Foods 365 brand)

Season chicken with garlic powder, oregano, cumin and salt and place in bottom of the slow cooker. 

Cover with salsa verde, cover and cook HIGH 2 hours. Remove chicken, shred with 2 forks. 

Remove 2/3 cup of liquid from the slow cooker, and discard (unless you want over rice). 

Place shredded chicken back into slow cooker with remaining salsa and keep warm.

Can serve in taco shells or over brown rice with peppers, onion, tomato and avocado.

MONALISA TOUCH:

Revolutionary, Permanent,  & Life-Changing

Steven Nelson, MD discussing the MonaLisa Touch at Camelback Women's Health



Have you experienced changes in your 
gynecological health since menopause? Did you know that as many as 50% of post menopausal women suffer from these changes?

You don't have to suffer from the side effects of menopause any longer.  It's OK to talk about it! 

MonaLisa Touch is a "life changing" new treatment which uses laser energy to treat
atrophic vaginitis, vaginal dryness, vaginal burning, painful intercourse, and urinary incontinence.

MonaLisa Touch is a medical laser that delivers controlled energy to the vaginal tissue so cells make more collagen and produces more blood flow to the tissue to replace what's lost from the depletion of estrogen. 

No more need for messy and EXPENSIVE creams! 

It's FDA approved and safe for cancer survivors since it's estrogen free! 

Treatments are Simple and Safe :
  • Three <5 minute treatments at 6 week intervals
  • No anesthesia and virtually no pain
  • In-office procedure
  • Annual follow up treatment once a year
  • Available since 2012- thousands of positive results! 

Call now to schedule your consultation to see if the MonaLisa is right for you!

We are offering $500 OFF for all
  breast/ovarian cancer survivors!

DON'T LET YOUR BLADDER CONTROL YOU


The loss of bladder control, known as urinary incontinence, is extremely common for millions of people.  It is both embarrassing and frustrating.

If you can answer yes to any of the following questions,  you may also be suffering from TREATABLE urinary incontinence.

  • Do you immediately look for the location of the restroom everywhere you go?
  • Are you spending money on products to help conceal urinary leakage?
  • Do you have trouble controlling when/where you urinate?
  • Do you leak urine when you cough? Sneeze?Run or jump?
  • Do you have such sudden urges to urinatte that you worry you won't (or don't) make it to the bathroom in time?
  • Does a fear of wetting yourself or smelling of urine keep you from socializing or participating in family functions?
Urinary incontinence is not a normal part of aging or result of childbirth.  It is a TREATABLE medical condition. 

For more information, please schedule a consultation with one of our physicians or WHNP's.   We will help arrange urodynamic studies to help determine how well your bladder and support muscles work.  

Urodynamics Testing is covered by MOST insurance, including Medicare. 

Just think,  a n active lifestyle with:

No more pads!!!
No more sudden rush to the restroom!!!
No more embarrassment!!!  

It's time... 

SAVE VALUABLE TIME BY USING OUR PATIENT PORTAL 


We understand being on hold is one of the most frustrating and annoying things that can happen in the middle of a busy day. 

We do everything possible to make sure that our phones are answered by one of our receptionists during the day (rather than a cold automated system), but a big downside is being on hold until someone is able to complete calls ahead of you.

To help save time, you can:

  • Send questions/messages DIRECTLY to your MD, WHNP, or Staff 
  • Order prescription refills
  • Request appointments
  • Obtain test results
  • Review your account balance/payment history
  • Secure & Private
  • Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

*** Please use the portal for routine medical problems only... it is NOT intended for medical emergencies. 

HAVE YOU MET?

ANGEL 
(Sonographer)

Hi! I'm Angel. Being an Air Force brat, I'm not originally from Arizona but have been here for the past 24 years. I pretty much call Phoenix home now. 


I've been in the Medical Imaging field for 22 years with the last 12 in ultrasound. 


OB/GYN imaging is my passion and I love it at Camelback Women's Health. 


When having your ultrasound here, you'll be the hands of an experienced Sonographer. Your exam will be personalized, professional, and fun!

IT'S NOT JUST 'GETTING A MAMMOGRAM', IT'S GETTING PEACE OF MIND


Studies show that annual mammograms between the ages of 40-74 save lives.   

3D Mammograms, the most current technology, helps radiologists view images of the breast tissue layer by layer, rather than through the tissue all at once.  It's similar to how you read a book... page by page vs. trying to read all the pages through the cover.  

Scheduled and  SAME DAY  state-of-the-art 3D mammography services are available at our Tatum & Shea location, along with the traditional 2D mammograms for those whose insurance companies do not yet cover 3D technology, however, we are offering COMPLIMENTARY 3D upgrades for everyone! 
  
You will be able to have these done on the same day as your annual exam or you can schedule future appointments.  

We hope you will find this to be a tremendous benefit, both as a time savings and as a peace of mind. 


*BRCA testing for the breast cancer gene is available! 

** CWH is in partnership with Solis Mammography for the processing of images, analysis by board certified radiologists specializing in mammography, reporting, and certification of mammography staff and equipment with all appropriate regulatory agencies. 
KNOW THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF PRE-TERM LABOR
Love family healthy pregnancy concept. Close-up of belly of happy young pregnant woman standing on the street and caressing her belly. Future mom on her late pregnancy period. Unrecognizable person
You should be familiar with the signs and symptoms of pre-term labor.  The sooner problems are identified and addressed, the better the chances of prolonging the pregnancy!

  • Contractions or tightening of the belly muscles every 10 minutes or less
  • A low, dull backache
  • Belly cramps with or without diarrhea
  • Cramping resembling menstrual cramps
  • Feeling of pressure in the pelvic area
  • A change in vaginal discharge
If you have ANY of these symptoms before you're close to your due date (<37 weeks), contact our office AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.    

We have a physician on-call 24/7 for MEDICAL EMERGENCIES so if you're experiencing problems in the middle of the night, please don't hesitate to call.   

Any other routine or non-emergent matters can/should be addressed during normal business hours.
