It has been a year of change, renewal, transition, and expansion. However, what DID NOT change was my commitment to provide the most comprehensive women’s health care here in Merced.
I have been a strong advocate for patient autonomy. I have learned in my 15-year career, how vital it is to provide a safe, respectful place for growth and healing. My mission: to nurture and guide women of all ages to navigate their health journeys.
Last year, I expanded my practice to include medical aesthetics. I had no idea this would be so well received. Bringing the most updated medical aesthetics services to Merced allowed me to provide more personal care choices to everyone. I also realized we were all aging together. I, too, was feeling the need for something else to help find balance and vitality as I aged. I also realized there was inadequate mid-life women’s care in our community. So many women have been searching for a provider who would validate the changes they were experiencing and help them find solutions to feel better through the transition of their bodies. Thus, in the spirit of providing women’s wellness care, I am focused on providing the much needed mid-life care.
I am grateful to my small but mighty staff of women: a Women’s Health NP, a Registered Nurse, a Certified Massage Therapist, a veteran Aesthetician and Medical Biller, and the most loyal Medical Assistant who runs our office seamlessly.
Moreover, I collaborated with other female-owned business owners and non-profit organizations. I am grateful for their warm camaraderie. I look forward to work with these women and support other female-run entities so that we may grow Merced together.
And so, I know that by truly listening, I learn more about you—women who have a story. Women who are seeking balance, respect compassion, and validity, and who are reaching out for connection. Thank you for trusting me with your story; for holding me accountable to educate you; and for giving me the privilege of caring for you.
Here’s to 2023 and the potential it holds for all of us.
I wish everyone a year of growth, renewal, and joy.
✨Love & Light,
Dr. Kristina Sogocio
