The GSM Collective

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 cultures, 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.

Oops she did it again. My dear friend is on a roll and a mission to not only change how women get taken care of in midlife but teaching the forgotten clinicians on how to manage it. Check her out, her new book The Perimenopause Survival Guide is out. You won’t want to miss it.

🌸 Excited to share another collaboration with my friends at — this time reviewing their latest piece on why period cramps hurt so much 🩸

As Vella’s Medical Advisor, I love working with a team that’s committed to science-based education and real conversations about women’s health. This latest blog dives into what actually causes menstrual pain — from the role of prostaglandins and inflammation to how lifestyle, hormones, and even stress can amplify what so many women experience every month.

💡 What I love about this piece: it’s a reminder that cramps aren’t something to just “push through.” Understanding the physiology behind the pain helps us talk more openly about options for relief — whether that’s heat, exercise, NSAIDs, hormonal support, or seeking care for conditions like endometriosis or fibroids.

You can read the full article on Vella Voice:

Together, we’re normalizing the conversation — because pain shouldn’t be dismissed, and knowledge is power. 💪🏽💗

Keeping it professional !!! Message to other clinicians —if you don’t know , either learn about menopause or stop scaring patients !!!!Yesterday a patient of mine told me her internal medicine doctor tried to scare her out of hormone therapy and that because I am not employed by the hospital that I was practicing “bad medicine “ and that she shouldn’t seek concierge care and that if she needed help with perimenopause that she would have given her birth control pills (facts she came to me bc her internist didn’t acknowledge her symptoms and told her this was normal ).

It is Hereditary Cancer Week, and yesterday was Previvor Day.
Previvors are those who carry an inherited risk of cancer but have not been diagnosed themselves—people who take steps to protect their health through screening, surveillance, or preventive surgery.

Genetic testing can be life-saving. It helps identify inherited mutations like BRCA1/2, Lynch syndrome, and others that significantly increase cancer risk. With this knowledge, individuals and families can take proactive steps—whether that’s enhanced screening, lifestyle changes, or risk-reducing interventions like surgeries to eliminate the possibility of cancer .
Why consider genetic testing?
• Family history of breast, ovarian, prostate, melanoma colon, or pancreatic cancer
• Multiple relatives with cancer, especially at younger ages

• To empower yourself and your family with information to make decisions early

Knowledge is power. Testing isn’t about fear—it’s about options, prevention, and advocacy for your health and your family’s future.

If you have questions about your risk, talk to your healthcare provider or a genetic counselor.
