Well-Woman Exams
Well-Woman Exams in Frankfort, Illinois
Comprehensive, physician-led women's health care at every stage of life
A well-woman exam is one of the most valuable appointments you can keep for yourself. It is a dedicated visit focused entirely on your health as a woman, from cervical and breast cancer screening to hormones, reproductive planning, menopause, and the everyday concerns that too often go unspoken. At Sina Medical Direct Primary Care, these exams are the cornerstone of comprehensive female health, delivered with the time, privacy, and continuity that rushed insurance-based visits rarely allow.
Dr. Syeda Farheen Ali, MD believes women's health care should be empowering, not intimidating. With a triple board-certified background in Internal Medicine, Obesity Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine, plus certification in menopause and women's hormone therapy, she brings a whole-person perspective to every visit. You are never a chart number here. You are a patient who is truly known by her physician.

What We Treat
Who Should Consider a Well-Woman Exam
Annual well-woman visits are recommended for women at every stage of life, from the teen years through the reproductive years, the transition into menopause, and beyond. They are especially important if you are managing a chronic condition, planning a pregnancy, navigating perimenopause, or simply want a trusted physician tracking your health over time.
You should also schedule a visit if you are noticing new or bothersome symptoms such as pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, changes in your breasts, irregular cycles, or the hot flashes and mood shifts that can signal hormonal change. Catching concerns early often makes them far easier to treat.
Because Dr. Ali provides both primary care and women's health in one relationship, your well-woman care is never disconnected from the rest of your health. Your blood pressure, weight, metabolic health, and hormones are all considered together, as they should be.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have a well-woman exam?
Most women benefit from an annual well-woman visit, though the specific screenings vary by age and risk. Cervical cancer screening with a Pap smear typically begins at age 21 and is often repeated every three to five years, while clinical breast exams and mammography guidance become more central after age 40 or earlier if you are at increased risk. Dr. Ali will recommend the right schedule for you.
Is the well-woman exam covered by my membership?
Yes. Your well-woman exam and the physician's time are included in your flat $89/month membership, with no copays and no insurance billing. Any labs or tests you need are offered at wholesale pricing, so there are no surprise bills.
Can any of this be done by telemedicine?
Many parts of women's health care can be handled virtually, including health history discussions, result reviews, contraception guidance, menopause management, and symptom evaluation. Physical screenings such as the Pap smear, pelvic exam, and clinical breast exam do require an in-person visit at our Frankfort clinic. Dr. Ali serves patients across all of Illinois by secure telemedicine.
Is my visit confidential?
Absolutely. Every well-woman visit is private and judgment-free. Because we do not bill insurance, your care stays between you and Dr. Ali, and you can speak openly about any concern, including sexual health, contraception, and sensitive symptoms.
Do you offer menopause and hormone care?
Yes. Dr. Ali is certified in menopause and women's hormone therapy and provides individualized management for perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, sleep changes, mood shifts, and more. She will discuss the options that fit your health and goals.
Is the membership HSA-eligible?
Starting January 1, 2026, direct primary care memberships like ours are HSA-eligible under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, meaning you may be able to use HSA funds toward your monthly membership. We are happy to answer questions about how this applies to you.
