A woman doctor can understand a woman's needs.  Expect an understanding listening ear and find out what your options are.

Are PMS, menstrual irregularities, hormone imbalances, or menopausal symptoms "cramping" your style?  Are you suffering from ovarian cysts, fibroids, heavy bleeding or infertility?  There are effective natural options available for helping with these issues.

While there in no consensus in the medical mainstream about the use of hormone optimization therapy, many a woman can attest to the beauty of sleeping through the night again, being free of debilitating menstrual symptoms, having more energy, having a healthy baby,  a clearer brain and more balanced emotions.  It's plain that hormonal regulation is key for good health and well-being at all stages in life.
