OBGYN / Obstetrics & Gynecology

Dr. Melvin Thornton, an OB/GYN practicing in Trumbull, CT, provides thorough care for the reproductive system in women across two intersecting specialties: obstetrics & gynecology. Obstetrics is the word for women's care during the prenatal & expectant states, while gynecology refers to the care for general women's health in a non-pregnant state. OB/GYNs can care for a great deal of conditions, & can work as primary care doctors for women.
