A little peek into last week’s Montefiore Einstein Grand Rounds 🎥

I had the honor of presenting (virtually!) on pelvic floor dysfunction and vulvovaginal pain conditions — two topics that deserve far more awareness, education, and compassion.

Thank you to Montefiore Einstein for the invitation and to everyone who attended and shared such thoughtful feedback. I’m always so grateful for the opportunity to educate and connect with others who care deeply about advancing women’s pelvic health!
