Think out-of-network means out-of-budget? Think again.

Just because a provider isn’t “in-network” doesn’t mean you’ll pay more. In fact, many women are surprised to learn that out-of-network care can actually cost the same — or even less — especially when you factor in quality, transparency, and time saved.

🧾 Example: If an in-network fibroid consultation costs $1,000 and your insurance covers 50%, you’re still paying $500. But a boutique out-of-network practice like ours may charge a flat $500 — no surprises, no rushed visits, no guessing games.

✨ At Lamorinda Gynecology & Surgery, you know the price and the value upfront — and you get:
✔️ Personalized attention
✔️ Same- or next-day appointments
✔️ Direct access to your doctor
✔️ No long waitlists

Your health deserves more than the bare minimum. 💬 Before you assume out-of-network means out-of-reach, do the math — and experience care that actually cares.

Irregular periods? It’s not just a GYN issue.
�What if your cycle is telling you more than you think?

Many women assume that abnormal bleeding must mean fibroids, cysts, or polyps. But here’s what I see in my office: when those are ruled out, the root cause is often deeper—your metabolic health.

Think of your period as a vital sign — like blood pressure or heart rate — that reflects your whole-body health.
�Your blood sugar, sleep habits, nutrition, stress levels, and activity… they all matter.

If your cycle feels off, let’s take a step back and look at the full picture.

Healing your hormones starts with healing your metabolism.

At Lamorinda Gynecology & Surgery, we go beyond band-aid fixes to help you understand the why behind your symptoms — and guide you toward long-term solutions.

Daily Motivation ✨

Sometimes the mood swings, fatigue, brain fog, and sleepless nights aren’t just “life.” They’re hormonal changes—and they’re treatable.

You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. You’re just overdue for answers.

🩸Spotting Between Periods? It Might Be an Endometrial Polyp.

Did you know that a small, often harmless growth in your uterus could be causing irregular bleeding—or even impacting your fertility?

Endometrial polyps can lead to:
• Spotting between periods
• Irregular or heavy bleeding
• Decreased IVF success rates

But here’s the good news: removal is a quick, same-day procedure (just ~15 minutes!) that can dramatically improve your chances of implantation if you're undergoing IVF.

At Lamorinda Gynecology & Surgery, we’re here to help you get answers—and results.

Thinking about fibroid surgery but scared it might throw you into menopause?

You’re not alone—and you’re not without options.

In this powerful episode, board-certified OB-GYN and menopause expert Dr. Cheruba Prabakar—aka The Fibroid Doc—breaks down exactly what every woman needs to know before undergoing fibroid surgery.

She explains the real difference between a myomectomy and a hysterectomy, and what determines whether or not you’ll go into menopause. You’ll learn:
✅ What fibroids are and how they affect your body
✅ What a myomectomy is and why it won’t put you into menopause
✅ When a hysterectomy might accelerate menopause (and when it won’t)
✅ What happens when the ovaries are removed and why that matters
✅ The role of hormone therapy after surgical menopause
✅ How to confidently choose the right surgical plan based on your fertility, health history, and personal goals

This video empowers you to make informed, clear decisions with your gynecologist—and not let fear stop you from getting the care you need.
