You Shouldn't Have to Fight to Be Heard
Board-Certified Menopause Specialist. 20+ Years of Experience. One Focus: You
Have you ever left a doctor's appointment feeling rushed, dismissed, or told your symptoms are simply part of aging? You are not alone, and you deserve far better than that.
I know this because I lived it.
As a board-certified OBGYN with over twenty years of clinical experience, I thought I understood menopause. Then I went through perimenopause myself and almost missed it entirely.
I was gaining weight, struggling with brain fog, and slowly withdrawing from my own life. I stopped returning calls. I stopped showing up the way I always had. I attributed it to COVID, to stress, to the state of the world. It took a close friend pulling me aside and saying: you are not yourself anymore. That stopped me cold.
I stopped my birth control pills and had my first hot flush. I tried a patch and progesterone. I had a skin reaction to the patch and knew immediately I needed something cleaner and better. That search led me to Dr. Rosensweet at the Institute of Bioidentical Medicine, whose approach changed my life completely. I felt like myself again. I felt like I was back in my 30s.
What surprised me most was how much I had to unlearn. Since the Women's Health Initiative study came out in 2002, menopause has largely been removed from medical training. An entire generation of doctors, myself included, was never properly taught how to treat it. What I know now I learned from the physicians who were actively treating women in the 1980s and 1990s, before the science was buried. Relearning from the ground up changed everything about how I practice.
That experience led me to open a practice dedicated exclusively to hormone therapy. I decided to dedicate the rest of my career to helping women get their brains, their bodies, and their lives back.
Today hormone therapy is all I do. And I do it differently than anyone else.
I want to be clear about one thing. I am not a replacement for your primary care doctor or your gynecologist. My role is specific: I manage your hormones. I work alongside your existing doctors to make sure that one critical piece of your health is handled with the precision, time, and expertise it deserves.
What Makes My Practice Different
Most doctors prescribe a standard estradiol patch and see you in six months. That is not medicine. That is guessing.
My approach is active, precise, and personal. I start you on a carefully chosen combination of hormones, give you a titration plan to increase your dosing weekly, and then I stay close. Not through a receptionist. Not through a patient portal. Directly. My patients have access to me personally between visits because hormones are not a set it and forget it treatment. Your body is changing and your protocol needs to change with it.
Most of my patients feel significantly better within two to six weeks. Not because I rush, but because I pay attention.
A Plan Built for Your Body, Not a Generic Protocol
I use two types of estrogen, estradiol and estriol, compounded together in 100% organic jojoba oil with no fillers, dyes, or synthetic preservatives. This combination allows me to increase your hormone levels enough to eliminate symptoms without pushing into the zone of excess. I also use progesterone and testosterone because your body needs all of them, not just one. Every protocol is built around your specific symptoms and adjusted based on how you respond, not just what your labs say.
Why I Don't Take Insurance, and Why That's Better for You
Because I do not accept insurance, your visit lasts as long as it needs to. Your treatment plan is built around your body and your goals, not around what a billing code allows. I am never restricted by insurance rules about how often I see you or which treatments I can provide. I am happy to provide a superbill if you wish to submit for out-of-network reimbursement, but I will never let insurance dictate the quality of your care.
What You Can Count On From Me
I will listen. Your symptoms matter here and I will never dismiss or minimize them.
I will build a treatment plan made for your body specifically, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
I will use the cleanest, safest, and most effective bioidentical hormones available, compounded in 100% organic jojoba oil with nothing unnecessarily added.
I will be reachable. Not through layers of staff and callbacks. Directly. Because that is what real care looks like.
I will work with you until you feel like yourself again, with the energy, clarity, and confidence you deserve.
