Testimonials

The preceptor is an exceptionally knowledgeable and compassionate physician who provides a thoughtful, evidence-based approach. Her clinic offers a unique, patient-centered model that integrates medical, physical, and psychosocial care for peri- and postmenopausal women. I appreciated how she explained complex sexual health topics with empathy and clarity, empowering patients to take an active role in their care. The rotation provided valuable insight into open communication, cultural sensitivity, and long-term continuity in managing GYN concerns.
