My professional passion has always been providing the highest level of service to my patients ensuring good health and well being on the inside and out. You’ll be in my individualized and experienced care throughout your journey at the CGC . As someone who has practiced throughout the nation, in major academic medical centers, and other countries , I have served patients in a variety of cultures, social situations and have seen a large variety of gynecologic pathology. I have seen almost everything and work to alleviate not only the current problems my patient’s face, but also work toward preventing future medical issues and am open to problems many doctors do not wish to discuss–such as s*xual health and cosmetic surgeries–that when addressed appropriately improve the overall lives of women. As an obstetrician and gynecologist, I have seen women through a variety of phases in their lives –experiencing the joys of bringing a baby into the world and heartaches of diagnosing a cancer. I have seen the changes women undergo postpartum and I specialize in helping women regain the confidence and good health they need during and after the postpartum period. Whether it is addressing your gynecologic health, improving your s*x life, or working to restore your natural beauty to regain your confidence, I can help you in your journey. Our goal here at the Center for Gynecology and Cosmetics (CGC) is to provide individualized healthcare and aesthetic services to our patients regardless of their phase in life, to not only live their life in the healthiest way possible but also to embrace it with full confidence. As we focus here only on gynecologic and aesthetic services, we will customize your care to achieve your best health and well being—no matter how you define it.

Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro… but what about your S*X LIFE?

We’re finally talking about the part no one warned women about.
GLP-1s don’t just change your weight — they can change desire, arousal, sensation, body image, and relationships.

In this week’s podcast, I break down:
How GLP-1s affect the brain (dopamine, reward, desire)
Why some women feel less libido — and others feel more
The role of fatigue, nausea, nutrition, and muscle loss
What we’re seeing clinically with arousal, or**sm, and pain
The connection to PGAD and why it matters Why “just lose weight” is not a s*xual health plan

Your libido is not a vanity symptom.
It’s a vital sign.

This happened in clinic. Again.

A patient was told by her P*P that vaginal DHEA and testosterone were “dangerous” and that she should “hope the improvement in her s*xual function is worth potentially dying from breast cancer.”

Let that sink in.

This is what fear-based medicine looks like..
S*xual health is health. Quality of life matters.

Menopausal hormone therapy is one of the only areas in medicine where everyone feels entitled to interject fear, outdated data, and personal anxiety—often overriding evidence and undermining other clinicians in the process.

And patients pay the price:
• Confusion
• Shame
• Fear
• Unnecessary suffering

We don’t scare patients out of blood pressure meds.
We don’t moralize insulin.
But when it comes to menopause and s*xuality? Suddenly everyone’s an expert.

Stop weaponizing fear.
Stop pitting doctors against doctors.
Start practicing evidence-based, patient-centered care.

Women deserve better. Always.

🔥 BIG NEWS for midlife women 🔥
Addyi is now FDA-approved for postmenopausal women up to age 65.

And let me be very clear:
Low desire is NOT “all in your head.”
It is brain chemistry. Hormones. Neurotransmitters. Context.

Desire lives in the brain, not just the bedroom.
Addyi works on serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine—the same systems that regulate motivation, reward, and connection.

So yes—
Date nights matter
Relationships matter
Emotional safety matters

But biology matters too.

For far too long, women—especially midlife women—have been told to “relax,” “try harder,” or “just plan a vacation.”
That’s not medicine. That’s dismissal.

Libido is biopsychosocial.Treat the brain AND the relationship.
You deserve evidence-based options.

This is about choice, validation, and reclaiming pleasure at every age.

After 10years of fighting for more access to tools for women in midlife who are no longer menstruating (postmenopausal up to age 65) and want to have s*x but are not motivated to do it and it’s causing them distress , through the efforts of and those of us advocating for menopausal women, bravo!!!!! Addyi is now approved for postmenopausal women which means maybe insurance will now cover it!! It helps postmenopausal and premenopausal women by improving dopamine and norepinephrine levels to improve their s*xual function. It’s daily pill. It’s been out for 10 years and the pink pill for all!!! And watch !! What a win for women’s health . Menopause doesn’t have to end your s*x life !!! There are hormones, there are medications, there is s*x therapy and pelvic floor therapy and it’s Biopsychosocial and this is the BIO!!!! *xlife *xualhealth *xualhealthmatters

Meet “Jess.”
(Anonymous, but brave—and very real.)

When Jess first came to me 6 years ago, she was living with advanced lichen sclerosus, genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), and debilitating menopausal symptoms.
She was in pain. Her quality of life was poor.
And like far too many women, she had been dismissed, minimized, and gaslit—after seeing multiple clinicians who told her what she was experiencing was “normal,” “in her head,” or something she just had to live with.

She didn’t.

Today, Jess is in remission.
But her story isn’t rare—it’s representative.

So many of my patients arrive after years of suffering, bouncing from provider to provider, carrying shame, confusion, and the quiet belief that their bodies have betrayed them.
They haven’t.
The system has.

Jess is sharing her story so you can learn from it—
so symptoms are recognized earlier,
so vulvar and menopausal conditions are treated appropriately,
and so no one else is told that pain is “just part of aging.”

This is why I do this work.
To educate, so you can advocate.
And to remind you: relief is possible.
