The GSM Collective Concierge medicine--elevated, full-service care for the modern woman. I provide each and every service to my patients personally.

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 culture

s, 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.

Dr. Baron explains not only what type of test you should request if you suspect pelvic venous disease but where you should get it done, as many offices don’t know which veins to look at or what type of more in-depth test is needed.

And even then, the variability of the test can vary sometimes a second test is required to truly find out what’s going on.

Dr. Baron also discusses what’s on the horizon in the field and where the testing will evolve.

One of the questions I asked Dr. Baron was how clinicians can recognize when to look closer for pelvic venous disease.

Pain that starts slowly and gets worse over the day.

Pain after s*x that can last from 30 minutes to three days. Urinary symptoms that often get mistaken for prolapse.

Understanding these differences can prompt the right testing.

If prolapse treatment isn’t working or symptoms don’t match the typical pattern, it’s worth considering venous causes.

Yass thank you for this awesome and truth telling article about the real reasons for the menopausal hormone therapy shortage and as usual, you just have to follow the money

When the body is under stress, reproduction takes a back seat . FHA is a neuroendocrine disruption affecting the brain–ovary axis
Low energy availability suppresses hormones like GnRH and LH, shutting down ovulation
Major downstream effects include bone loss, decreased bone density, and increased fracture risk
Adolescents and young women are especially vulnerable—this is a critical window for bone health
Often underdiagnosed because it can be masked as “healthy lifestyle” or athletic discipline
Periods are a vital sign. When they disappear, it’s the body signaling metabolic and hormonal distress.

Dr. Baron lived with debilitating pelvic pain for years while working as a pelvic floor PT.

She saw every specialist imaginable and was told she was normal.

The irony of treating other people’s pain while living with her own undiagnosed condition wasn’t lost on her.

She had to diagnose herself and fight for imaging. The validation she got from finally seeing her condition on paper changed everything.

If you’ve been told you’re fine but know something is wrong, this story is for you.

Black Maternal Health Week asks us to look at a crisis that should have been solved generations ago—and yet persists with stunning consistency.

In the United States, Black women are still three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women.

We often talk about access. Insurance. Comorbidities. Social determinants of health.

But we don’t talk enough about what happens in the room. This is where we need to look and act and be reflexive. There’s a lot of work to do. thanks for the work you do to help other clinicians .

Dr. Rice talks about being one of only 1,400 female board-certified plastic surgeons in the United States.

That’s 20% of all plastic surgeons, even though over 90% of patients are women.

Dr. Rice talks about being one of only 1,400 female board-certified plastic surgeons in the United States.

That’s 20% of all plastic surgeons, even though over 90% of patients are women.
She shares what it’s like navigating a male-dominated field and why having female surgeons matters when most patients are women seeking care.

Dr. Rice busts the biggest misconception about l***aplasty.

A lot of people think it’s purely cosmetic women trying to look like p**n stars.

But the reality is different. Some women can’t wear jeans comfortably. Some can’t bike without pain. The l***a get caught in underwear or cause issues during exercise.

The procedure sounds simple, but finding the right surgeon matters. Being too aggressive can damage the cl****al arousal tissue. Dr. Rice explains why she won’t do super aggressive procedures and what welling actually looks like during recovery.
