A: Martha currently delivers at University Medical Center (U.M.C.) hospital only.   However, she is looking into delivering at other hospitals as well.  It should be noted that UMC has individual birthing rooms, the lowest rate of C-sections in Las Vegas, and offers a tea and video tour of their facility for before you deliver. Q: How soon can I schedule an appointment? A: It depends on the type of office visit.  If you need to come in for something like a urinary tract infection, we make every attempt to get you into the office on the same day.  If you would like to schedule a new patient annual exam/PAP smear which takes more time, it may take as long as 2 - 3 days to schedule, but please call the office to inquire.   We may be able to schedule you an appointment even sooner. Q: How long do appointments usually take? A: Depending on your type of office visit, it may take 15 minutes to an hour. Please inquire when you schedule your appointment. Q: How much do appointments cost? A: Please call the office to inquire.  This answer depends on your type of office visit. Q: I heard that I may be eligible for a free PAP smear and mammogram? A: Alternatives For Women is involved with a government program called Women's Health Connection (WHC).  This program covers breast and cervical cancer detection in women aged 40 - 64 without any health insurance and certain income requirements.   Please call WHC to see if you qualify: (702) 759-0707.  If you qualify for this program, please call our office to schedule an appointment and mention that you qualify for WHC. Q: What do I need to bring to my appointment? A: A picture ID (like your driver's license), and payment for your visit in the form of cash, Visa or Mastercard.  We no longer accept checks.  If you have medical records or test results from a previous PAP smear, mammogram and/ or ultrasound you can bring those too.  They may be helpful. Q: What is the difference between a Certified Nurse-Midwife and an OB/GYN? A: Please visit our About Us section or our Links section for more information about Certified Nurse-Midwives. Q: How many babies has Martha delivered? A: Hundreds.  She delivers 6 - 8 babies a month on average, and the office has been open since 1998.  She also had to deliver a lot of babies to obtain her certification, before opening Alternatives For Women. Q: I have moved and my new doctor needs my medical records.  How do I get them? A: You need to fill out a release form which you can then fax or mail to our office.  This is a form with your signature that states that we can release your records to a third party.   Without this form, it is against federal law to release your records to another doctor unless Martha has referred you to that doctor to coordinate your care (such as a referral to a radiology facility for a mammogram).  Then we can fax the records to your new doctor. If you want copies of your records, you must fill out a release form and there will be a charge assessed of $0.60/page. Please feel free to contact our office at 702-365-9929 if you have additional questions.
