For years, I cared for women in primary care, helping them manage fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, poor sleep, and many other health concerns. Like many clinicians, I followed the traditional approach because it was the care I had been taught.

Then everything changed.

After experiencing surgical menopause myself, I found myself facing many of the same frustrations my patients had been describing for years.

I struggled with fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, poor sleep, and the feeling that something simply wasn't right.

That experience changed not only my life—it changed the way I practice medicine.

As both a patient and a clinician, I realized many women are told their symptoms are simply part of aging when, in reality, hormonal and metabolic changes during midlife often play a much bigger role.

I also learned that quick appointments and routine prescriptions don't always provide the answers women are searching for.

In search of better answers, I traveled nearly two hours to receive the kind of care I believed in—care that took the time to listen, investigate, educate, and create a personalized treatment plan instead of simply treating symptoms.

Today, MetroBest Health is built on that same philosophy.

I provide the kind of care I searched for myself: care that takes the time to listen, helps women understand what is happening in their bodies, and works with them to create a personalized treatment plan that fits their goals and their lives.

Because what so many women are told is "just getting older" often deserves a much closer look.
