About this clinic

The Colposcopy Clinic provides diagnosis and treatment for women with abnormal screening results to prevent cervical cancer.

Procedures at the clinic include:

• Colposcopic examinations to visually examine a woman’s cervix, vagina and vulva. The procedure uses an instrument called a colposcope that has a magnifying lens and a light. 
• Loop electrosurgical excision procedures (LEEP) and other minor excision procedures. LEEP uses a wire loop heated by electric current to remove abnormal cells and tissues in a woman’s vagina and vulva.

Patients must be referred by a doctor or nurse practitioner’s office.

Physician: Dr. R. Geoffrion

Advances in treatments are all thanks to medical research. While participating in research is a decision you should make for yourself in consultation with your care team, there is much activity in this area so please ask us about our research programs if you’re interested.

By taking part in research, you can help us all learn more about advancing health outcomes and find better ways to help people live and thrive. While you cannot assume benefit to yourself, your participation can make a difference in improving care for future patients.
