Self examinations help women detect changes in their breast tissue before potential problems arise. During a self examination, it is important to look for any of the following signs that could potentially indicate a future problem. It is important to speak to one of our doctors right away if you find that any of these signs are present during a self examination.
If you are sexually active and not wanting to become pregnant it is important to use some form of birth control, or contraceptive care. There are many different types of contraception available, but not all types are appropriate for all situations. The most appropriate method of birth control depends on an individual's overall health, age, frequency of sexual activity, number of sexual partners, desire to have children in the future, and family history of certain diseases.Women may also make choices about contraception based on factors like safety, effectiveness, affordability, and acceptability.

The doctors are amazing! The office staff and the patient software that is used is quite the opposite and is never consistent. I've been going here for almost 10 years and every time I have an appointment there is an issue. Office processes and procedures are constantly changing and there is no communication of such changes prior to the appointment to ensure preparedness. I wish the admin team had the compassion, patience and understanding that the medical team has!

I've been going to Dr. Kaminski for the last few years. After my previous doctor retired, I started seeing Dr. Kaminsky. From the moment you walk in the door, you feel you are important. The front desk staff are awesome. The nurse who takes you back is easy to talk to and interact with. Dr. Kaminsky listens to you, she's informative, and she's thorough. I would recommend the Raleigh Gynecology group to any female looking for a good doctor.

Let's be honest. This type of appointment isn't fun for anyone. BUT. I genuinely look forward to my annual checkups with Ginny. She is patient, thorough (but fast), kind, proactive AND smart. She's a gem, and I couldn't imagine seeing anyone else. As far as the front office goes, they are all so kind and sweet. It has never been this easy. Get scheduled, in and out within 30 minutes every time for me.

I came to this practice long after I was finished with the OB part of OB/GYN care (my kiddos are teenagers now). This office is so much calmer and meets my current needs much better than my previous OB/GYN practice. I love it, and I'm so glad I made the switch. Dr. Kaminski is wonderful. She's sympathetic, approachable, and also no-nonsense. She explains things well, including doing your own part in your healthcare. I always appreciate her perfect blend of efficiency and compassion. She's just terrific, and the staff is friendly as well.

I cannot say enough good things about dr. Lorena Benavides and Raleigh Gynecology & Wellness. My PCP made the referral knowing that I would benefit from a gynecology-only office and they were right! My interactions with the office and nursing staff have been highly professional yet personable. Dr. Benavides, where have you been!? I wish i hadn't waited so long to ask for this referral from my PCP. I will be moving my women's care to Raleigh Gynecology & Wellness.

You know how sometimes you're sitting in a doctor's office and you just know in your heart you're in the right place? This was the right place. My original gynecologist closed their practice and referred me to someone else, and although it never really felt like a good fit I'd kept going for the last few years because of the pandemic and all. I finally made the decision to switch practices and had my first appointment with Dr. Benavides yesterday.
She is truly wonderful in every way, as is her entire staff. I felt heard, understood, and completely comfortable and cared for from beginning to end. So very happy with my experience.

I would highly recommend this practice to friends and family. I had changed my insurance this year and my previous doctor was no longer in network. I needed to schedule an appointment with an ob/gyn and did some research and found this practice. They have exceeded my expectations, from my new patient visit, to my in office procedure, I am highly satisfied.
I didn't have to wait longer than 5 mins to get called to the back after check in, every staff member I interacted with was friendly and Dr. Benavides made a potentially stressful procedure comfortable by really listening to everything I had to say and talking me through everything she was doing. I could not praise this practice enough, thank you to all the staff for your kindness and care!

I saw Dr. Kaminski for a colposcopy procedure. She was so kind and really made me feel like I mattered. She took her time telling me about what to expect, answered any questions I had, and talked me through the entire procedure. I couldn't have asked for a better doctor. I also have nothing but good things to say about the practice in general. The front desk was helpful and the nurse didn't make me feel rushed and also had great bedside manner. I will definitely be recommending this practice to friends/family and will be a patient myself in the future.

I always have a great experience at this practice! From the moment I walk in, I feel like I have stepped into a genuine caring and warm place! The receptionist at the front are always so kind and welcoming. The nurses get you back in a timely fashion and take time with you in a genuine and caring manner. The doctors are just amazing! They take the time to get to know you, not just the condition, but you as a person and what's going on in your life, which helps them better know how to care for you as a whole person in our vulnerable states. Dr. Benevides is honestly the best physician I have ever seen, across many specialties of medicine.
I am so grateful and blessed to have found this practice and practitioners several years ago. I always leave feeling better, no matter what is going on. Thank you to Raleigh Gynecology and Wellness for all that you do for so many women in this community, for promoting wellness in all area of our lives, and for your commitment to genuine compassionate care. , Gracen Morris
