Dr. Eden Yelverton is passionate about women’s health care. She lives out that passion every day by helping women take great care of their bodies and educating them on how the female body functions, what to expect during different stages of life, and how to address problems when they arise.
After working for years in the traditional healthcare system, Dr. Eden felt led to open Her Health, a gynecologic clinic designed for women to receive personalized medical care without the time and insurance constraints that often accompany traditional care. “I felt led to open Her Health because I want to have more time with patients and to be able to discuss alternative treatments that there was not necessarily the time to talk about in an insurance or hospital-based system” shares Dr. Eden. “What led me here is freedom to have more time with my patients and to do more for them.”
At Her Health, patients experience personalized visits that give Dr. Eden the opportunity to get a holistic view of their health journey as well as develop a customized care plan. With that in mind, appointments usually last longer than traditional appointments and can take between half an hour to a full hour. The clinic offers a wide range of comprehensive health services for women including annual exams, cancer screenings, sexual health screenings, hormone management, vaginal health testing, and pelvic ultrasound.
“I also help women achieve pregnancy, if they need help, and see women up to 10 weeks of pregnancy,” she explains. “I can confirm a pregnancy, make sure it's healthy, and then we will transfer them to an obstetrician who will do the delivery. I also offer ultrasounds for gynecology reasons or obstetrics reasons below 10 weeks.”
Patients also benefit from Dr. Eden’s experience with robotic surgeries for hysterectomies and myomectomies as well as in-office procedures such as hysteroscopy, which provides a detailed look at the uterus. “Hysteroscopy is a camera that passes through the cervix to look into the uterus,” she says. “It is the gynecologist version of a stethoscope and a way that I can look in the uterus and tell someone what is going on. Not everybody needs that, of course, but it's something that is great and I can do in the office without having to go to the hospital.”
Because she knows so many women struggle with vaginal health issues, Dr. Eden is especially excited about the technology provided through a new vaginal rejuvenation device that works to improve urinary incontinence, vaginal prolapse, and pelvic floor disorders.
“Our whole focus is giving freedom to women from their pain and problems. So many women have pain and they have been to several different doctors, or they are struggling through perimenopause and have done every supplement out there,” she shares. “There are so many problems where women just get bounced around, and when they finally are with me, I may not have the answer right away, but I'm going to walk with them through it until I find an answer.”
The clinic operates on a fee-for-service model, offering transparent billing and support for insurance reimbursement. “The bill we produce at the end of a visit is called a superbill, and it is created with insurance codes so that if a woman wants to submit their superbill to their insurance to get reimbursement, they can,” Eden explains. “We also use a platform called Reimbursify and we send women the link at the end of their visit. This makes it very easy for women to upload their insurance information and the superbill, then the platform will do the rest for them. It’s quite simple.”
