Structured approach

Two ways to receive care

Care is organized around two clear paths so you can choose what fits your needs: routine office visits, or packaged programs with a defined plan of care.

Gynecology

Office Visits

Individualized gynecologic visits based on the complexity of your medical needs and the time required.

  • Annual preventive care
  • New patient consultations
  • Problem-focused evaluations
  • Contraceptive counseling
  • Pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, and PCOS
  • In-Office Procedures

Packages

Programs of care

Comprehensive programs for women seeking evaluation and treatment beyond a single office visit, with clear inclusions and follow through.

Gynecology

  • Fertility Navigation Program
  • Sexual Health Program
  • Perimenopause & Menopause Optimization Program

Obstetrics

  • Comprehensive Pregnancy Care Program
  • First Trimester Program

Laboratory testing, imaging, hospital services, and specialist consultations are billed through your insurance whenever possible.

Our approach

Thoughtful, physician-led women's healthcare built on trust, accessibility, and enduring relationships, serving the Washington community with compassion, clinical excellence, and integrity.

  • We believe women deserve time

    Longer appointments so nothing important is rushed. Space for questions, honesty, and thoughtful guidance.

  • Accessibility builds confidence

    Direct physician communication and same-day availability when appropriate, so you are never left waiting without answers.

  • Continuity creates better outcomes

    One physician who knows your story, from annual exams through fertility, pregnancy, and menopause.

  • Evidence should always guide care

    Thoughtful, evidence-based medicine explained in partnership, never rushed and never one-size-fits-all.
