Women’s Health in Anchorage

Women encounter distinct health challenges related to their reproductive systems. While many choose to consult a gynecologist (OB/GYN) for these concerns, your internal medicine physician is also equipped to address these issues.

At Hillside Family Medicine, we emphasize the philosophy that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” a principle supported by extensive research. Regular well-woman exams are crucial for safeguarding against common health issues such as breast, ovarian, and cervical cancers, sexually transmitted diseases and infections (STD/STIs), and bone loss. These proactive measures help ensure a longer, healthier life. We recommend that women begin annual well-woman exams once they become sexually active or reach 18 years of age.

“I’ve been here to see both Dr. Julie Wilson and Dr. Julie Stewart for multiple health appointments and I would never go anywhere else. They are both wonderful and so informative. I recently had an IUD placed with Dr. Julie Stewart and she couldn’t have made the experience better. She wasn’t only efficient but made sure I was as comfortable as I could be and took extra measures to make somewhat of a painful experience laughable and quick. The doctors take extra time to make sure you leave feeling like all of your questions are thoroughly answered. The nurses there also have the best bedside manner and are very sweet. And for the girls at the front, me also working as a medical receptionist, I can tell it’s very busy up there for them but when you check in/out they’re sure to give you their full attention and handle it with grace and ease. Would give more stars if I could.”  RJ – Anchorage

“The entire staff is FANTASTIC! I only see female doctors, and every single one at this practice is understanding, patient, and helps you advocate for your own choice and education in your healthcare. The desk staff deals with everything efficiently and politely, even the most awkward health problems are just day to day and part of taking care of you. I would recommend Hillside to everyone!”  Anna – Anchorage
