Frequently Asked Questions

What's covered in a new patient visit?

Your first visit will be an hour long. During this hour, I will listen to your concerns, we will establish goals, review previous history and care, and determine a plan that fits your needs best. This may include prescriptions, lab testing and imaging if needed. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled, and timing will depend on your own specific needs.

If I have a family history of breast cancer, does that mean I can't get treatment for perimenopause and menopause symptoms?

Not necessarily! Part of our first visit will be reviewing your own medical history and your family history, so we can determine what the best options will be for you.

Can I be your patient if I am a BRCA previvor?

Absolutely! I can help guide you through this life-altering experience and give you the help you need to maintain a great quality of life and keep you healthy.

Do you offer Well Woman exams?

Unfortunately, I cannot serve as your primary gynecologist. You will still need your usual physical exams and pap smears with your doctor in person.

What is the cost?

Do you accept insurance?

I accept payment via FSA/HSA, but do not accept insurance. I can, however, provide documentation that can be submitted to your insurance carrier for reimbursement if you are interested.

Where do you see patients?

I see patients in the state of California via HIPAA-compliant telehealth visits.

If I am a Medicare recipient, can you see me as a patient?

Unfortunately, I cannot see any Medicare or Medi-Cal recipients.

What is a DO?

DO stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, a branch of medicine that emphasizes a holistic approach to patient care. DO's, similar to MD's, attend fully accredited medical schools and may enter any field of medicine they choose. In addition to a rigorous four year education, they are also trained in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) which is a form of physical medicine focused on improving and resolving structural dysfunctions in the body.
