Complete Midlife Wellness Center

2020-7 - Present · 6 yrs 3 mos

Houston, TX

As an award-winning Board Certified Obstetrics and Gynecology physician, I started the Complete Midlife Wellness Center in 2020 to fill the gap between resources and services for the midlife woman. With three offices in the greater Houston area, we have multiple certified menopause providers offering comprehensive care during perimenopause and beyond, and work with our patients to structure holistic healthspan strategies. I’m proud to have been named by my peers as a Texas Super Doctor for 19 years, making me a member of the Texas Super Doctor Hall of Fame.

Greater Houston

I started this practice in 2002 as a solo practitioner with the goal of elevating traditional Ob/Gyn care to provide a much higher level of service to our patients. In 2018, with 28 all-female providers and an all-female staff of over 130, we were the largest all-female Ob/Gyn practice in the country. I retired from this position in 2020 to focus on menopausal medicine.
