Briseida Gordillo ARNP. Briseida Gordillo is a Cuban immigrant. She and her family planted their roots in South Florida when she was only one year old. Briseida is known by most of her family, friends and patients as “Bri” for short.

Bri always wanted to be a nurse. Since a very young age she knew that was her passion. As a teenager and through high school and college, she served countless volunteer hours at the Labor and Delivery Unit at Mercy Hospital. This granted her the Kathryn Menke Miller Community Service Award from Mercy Hospital Labor and Delivery Unit.

Briseida earned her Bachelors in Science in Nursing from Barry University. As a nurse, she has had experience in the units of Pediatric Critical Care, Neonatal Intensive Care and Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care at Miami Children’s Hospital. Following her passion for women’s health, Briseida held a position as a Labor and Delivery nurse and shortly after obtained her Masters in Nursing with a specialty in Family Practice from Barry University.

Bri is an active member of the Nurse Practitioner Council of Miami Dade County and is an active member of Sigma Theta Tau. She is certified from the American National Nurses Credentialing Center and she is an active member of the American Nurses Association. Bri has also served as clinical preceptor for future Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner Students from Florida International University, Barry University and Frontier School of Women’s Health.

Over the years Bri also has enjoyed providing expecting parents with childbirth education. Her primary vision is to change the way in which women’s healthcare is delivered. Her approach is to diagnose, treat and prevent illness, but also to help women making choices to prevent disease and enrich their lives. Bri has been in our practice since 2008. She has 11 years of clinical experience. She is fluent in English and Spanish.

When Bri is not taking care of patients, she enjoys spending time with her growing family and her husband, Hector. She enjoys photography and the joy of capturing special moments.

Obstetrics

Obstetrical Care

• Preconceptional Counseling

• Prenatal Care and Testing

• Childbirth Classes

• Care of Low Risk Pregnancies

• Care of High Risk Pregnancies

• Labor and Delivery Care

• Fetal Monitoring

• Postpartum Care

• Postpartum Depression

• Male Infant Circumcision

• Preconceptional Counseling.



Preconceptional counseling is an opportunity for your doctor to help you improve your health before you start trying to become pregnant. Important steps before becoming pregnant include:

1. Increasing your daily intake of folic acid. One of the most important vitamins needed before and during pregnancy is folic acid. Folic acid helps prevent neural tube defects (NTDs). The daily-recommended dose for all reproductive age women is 0.4 milligrams (400 micrograms). Women should start folic acid at least 3 months before becoming pregnant. Most prenatal vitamins contain this amount, or you can find folic acid by itself over the counter. Women with special conditions, like those who require some epilepsy medications and those who have a personal history of NTDs or have had a baby with a NTD require 4 mg of folic acid daily.

2. Making sure your immunizations are up to date

3. Controlling preexisting medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension or thyroid conditions

4. Trying to reach a healthy weight before you become pregnant

5. Starting an exercise routine.

It is best to have an exercise routine in place before getting pregnant. All individuals, including pregnant women, without a contraindication should exercise 30 minutes daily for at least five days of the week.

6. Avoiding smoking, alcohol consumption and drug use

7. Learning about your family health history and that of your partner’s

8. Seeking help for depression or anxiety

Congratulations on your Pregnancy or welcome if you are visiting to learn more about us. We know this is one of the most important times in a woman’s life and are delighted to be able to provide you and your family with excellent care all through these special months. Even though you will be experiencing a range of feelings, emotions, and physical changes, that are all new to you, we want to ensure we make you feel at ease through this beautiful process you are about to begin.

Prenatal care is an essential part of a healthy pregnancy and one of the best ways to promote a healthy birth. Regular doctor visits allow for the monitoring of you and your baby’s health and to spot problems early on if they were to arise. You should schedule your first prenatal appointment with one of our practitioners as soon as you think you are pregnant.

We provide general obstetrical services and offer care for women with low as well as high-risk pregnancies, including women with some preexisting medical conditions, complicated pregnancies and multiple pregnancies. We are proud to count with the support of excellent High Risk or Perinatology practices that provide our patients with the additional support and State-of-the-Art testing if the need for these services arises.

We hope to develop a strong partnership with you, and to work together to ensure a happy, safe and successful delivery. We know becoming a parent is a major commitment filled with many challenges, rewards, and choices and want to make this a memorable and unforgettable journey.

Please consult our Prenatal Care link to get acquainted with the process. So you will be familiar with all of our providers and in order to make you feel at ease and comfortable, you will be scheduled for at least one appointment with each one of them.

Safe Medications.

No drug can be considered 100% safe during pregnancy. Here you will find a list of over the counter (OTC) medications that are considered safe for you to use. Please always ask your doctor about any medications you are about to take. Your situation and possible complications may be different. If you are on any medications or would like to take a medication not on this list, check with your doctor to make sure it is safe.

Do not take more than the recommended doses and, if possible, avoid taking anything during the first trimester, when the baby is most vulnerable.

• Care of Low Risk Pregnancies

• Care of High-Risk Pregnancies

All pregnancies have some degree of risk, but high-risk pregnancies carry more risks to the mother and developing baby. A high-risk pregnancy may be the result of a preexisting medical condition or the onset of a new condition during pregnancy. With close follow up, most women with high-risk pregnancies deliver healthy babies.

Some of the medical conditions that make a pregnancy high-risk include cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney problems, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, thyroid disorders, substance abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV or AIDS.  Gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, eclampsia, preterm labor and placenta previa, are some of the conditions that may develop during pregnancy and turn and otherwise normal pregnancy into a high-risk one. Also, pregnancies in women over the age of 35 are classified as high-risk. 

Women with high-risk pregnancy are monitored closely. This means that they may required to be seen more frequently than women without high risk pregnancies, and undergo more ultrasounds or blood tests.

In some cases, women with high-risk pregnancy may need to have a C-section or be induced for labor.

If we determine that you have a high-risk pregnancy you will be referred to the Materno-Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialist. We are proud to count with the support of excellent High Risk or Perinatology practices that provide our patients with the additional support and State of the Art Testing if the need for these services arises.

Depending of the time of the day or the nature of your emergency we may ask you to come to be examined or to go to OB Triage 2nd floor at Baptist hospital.

After office hours, and for emergencies only, please call the office’s main line at (305) 661-7766. You may leave a detailed message with the nature of your emergency and a phone number where we can reach you. Please make sure you are able to receive calls from blocked numbers.

Labor Instructions (PDF)

If You Are Less Than 36 Weeks, please go to the hospital if you have:

1. Contractions – Contractions feel like menstrual cramps. You should go to the hospital if you have more than 6 contractions in an hour, even after you have rested and drank at least 16 ounces of water.

2. Vaginal Bleeding – You have bleeding requiring the use of a pad.

3. Leaking Fluid – Sometimes it is obvious when your water breaks causing a huge gush of fluid. However, many times it may be much more subtle. You should go to the hospital if you have constant leakage of fluid from your vagina, enough to soak a pad when you are walking around.

4. Decreased Fetal Movement –If you think that your baby’s movement is decreased, eat a snack and rest on your left side in a quiet room for one hour.  If you still have not felt the baby move more than 6 times in that hour go to the hospital.

If You Are Over 36 Weeks, go to the hospital if you have:

1. Contractions– Contractions feel like menstrual cramps. True contractions come every few minutes and get more frequent over time. You should go to the hospital if you have strong and uncomfortable contractions you are unable to talk through (every 5 minutes for an hour if it is your first baby, or contractions every 7 minutes for an hour if you have had a baby before). Each contraction should last from 30 to 60 seconds

2. Bleeding– Bleeding during pregnancy is not unusual, mostly near the end. Spotting near labor is frequent, however if you have heavy bleeding, similar to a heavy period, not just spotting, you need to go to the hospital.

3. Leaking Fluid– Sometimes it is obvious when your water breaks causing a huge gush of fluid. However, many times it may be much more subtle. You should go to the hospital if you have constant leakage of fluid from your vagina, enough to soak a pad when you are walking around.

4. Decreased Fetal Movement– If you are not feeling your baby move, eat a snack and rest on your left side in a quiet room for one hour.  If you still have not felt the baby move more than 6 times in that hour go to the hospital.

THIS IS JUST A GUIDELINE AND GENERAL INFORMATION

IF YOU STILL HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT WHAT TO DO

PLEASE CALL (305) 661-7766

THE DOCTOR ON CALL WILL RETURN YOUR CALL PROMPTLY

• Postpartum care.

You will need to return to our office, for a postpartum exam, six weeks after your baby is born. During this visit we will discuss your physical and emotional health, family planning and any other concerns you may have. It is very important to keep this appointment, as this is one way of taking care of you!

An early postpartum visit, one to two weeks after your baby is born, will be required if you underwent a cesarean delivery and in certain special circumstances.

If you have concerns before this visit, you may contact the office for assistance.

After you leave the hospital, please call the office if you experience:

1. Heavy vaginal bleeding– It is normal to have some vaginal bleeding for a few weeks after delivery. But let us know if you are having large blood clots or you have bleeding that requires you to use more than one pad per hour.

2. Fever. Even thought most of the time slight temperature elevations during the postpartum period are related to breast engorgement, you should report any temperature over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

3. Severe headache, problems with your vision, or swelling in your hands or feet

4. Severe abdominal pain. Mild cramping during the first postpartum weeks in normal, mostly while you are breastfeeding. You should call the office if you experience severe abdominal pain that does not get relieved with the medication we prescribed you upon discharge from the hospital.

5. Pain or significant tenderness on your calves.

6. Feel sad or helpless or have thoughts of harming yourself or the baby

• Postpartum Depression

Motherhood is an exciting experience. However, the period following the birth of a baby brings significant changes and adjustments that at times can be intense and overwhelming.

“Baby Blues”. These are a normal response to the feelings of increased responsibility, and to all the changes and adjustments that take place around a newborn. These feelings may include sadness, anxiety, fear, guilt, loneliness, frustration or anger. In general, it is normal for you to experience these symptoms within two to three days of delivery; they usually peak on the fifth day and resolve within the first two weeks.

However, if these symptoms last for more than 2 weeks, seem severe, or cause you to be unable to take care of yourself or the baby, postpartum depression may be present. Depression can become very serious and may require counseling and medical treatment. Talk with family and friends about how you are feeling and call us with any concerns.

If you, or someone you know, show any of these signs after childbirth, it is time to call us for help. We can help you get the support, counseling, or medication you need to overcome your feelings of postpartum depression.

There are also hotlines and support groups for women with postpartum depression.

Our goal is not only to help prevent disease and promote good health in each of our patients but also to address the unique medical situations and concerns that may present in different stages of a woman’s life. Our gynecological services include:

• Routine and Yearly Examinations

• Adolescent Gynecology and Counseling

• Pap smear, HPV and Cervical Cancer Screening

• Evaluation and Treatment of Abnormal Pap Smears

• Breast health and Clinical Breast examination

• STD Screening and Treatment

• Vaginal Discharge and Infections

• Evaluation and Treatment of Abnormal Bleeding

• Preventative gynecology care

 º Routine and Yearly Examinations

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends for all women to have an annual OB/GYN exam whether they need a Pap Test or not.

This visit is important to detect and/or treat any new ongoing health problems and additionally to help prevent new ones from developing.

In general it is recommended that:

The first reproductive health visit happen between ages 13 and 15

Routine pelvic exams and Pap tests begin at age 21

Yearly breasts exams are performed starting at age 20

A regular visit with an OB/GYN builds the foundation of health and wellness for women in the fight against a wide-range of health concerns for women of all ages.

• Adolescent Gynecology and Counseling

Gardasil® Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine Administration



 º Pap Smear,HPV and Cervical Cancer screening.

Both, the Pap smear and the HPV screening are tools used in prevention and early detection of cervical cancer.

A pap smear is a screening test performed to identify abnormal cervical cells. The HPV virus is the cause of 99% of all cervical cancers. HPV screening identifies the virus that can lead to development of abnormal cervical cells and cervical cancer.

It’s recommended that every woman over 21 have a Pap smear every two years, and every woman over 30 have a Pap smear along with a HPV screening at three-year intervals. If abnormalities are encountered more frequent evaluation is necessary.

If you receive a phone call from our office informing you that your pap smear is abnormal, do not panic.  You DO NOT have cervical cancer, but you will most likely need further evaluation. 

If your pap smear is abnormal you most likely will require a procedure called a colposcopy to evaluate your cervix. A colposcopy will help determine if the abnormality requires treatment right away or whether we only have to follow you with more frequent pap smears in the following years.

Learn more about HPV infection





• Evaluation and treatment of abnormal Pap Smears

     º Colposcopy. (Annie’s picture). Colposcopy is a procedure performed in the office. The exam is just like a pap smear, but your cervix is evaluated closely with a special microscope. For this, a solution of acetic acid (vinegar) is applied over the cervix. This solution causes any significant abnormalities to appear white.

     º Cervical Biopsy. If there are any significant lesions identified during a colposcopy, a biopsy or the area may be taken for further evaluation. The biopsy is usually not uncomfortable and most women do not even feel it being done. Your cervix does not have nerve endings like your skin. After the biopsy a medicine is applied that will stop any bleeding from the biopsy site. This can cause some cramping like menstrual cramps. If you want to take some Ibuprofen prior to your procedure, this can help with the cramping. The results from the biopsy will take about 1-2 weeks. Unless the results require that we do any further procedures, you will need a repeat pap at more frequent intervals than before.
