  • Thank you!

    I recently made the transition to gynecology after 6 years as an ER PA, and this podcast has been a great resource - it should come with CMEs! But seriously, it has been very informative and easy to listen to. Thanks for all you share for the benefit of other medical professionals and patients alike.

  • Great podcast for sexual medicine!

    I have been following this podcast since the beginning and LOVE the episodes, I listen every week. I’m a WHNP working in sexual/reproductive health and recently got interested in sexual medicine. I recommend this podcast to other clinicians. The PGAD episodes were particularly great, to hear about PGAD from someone with the perspective of both a patient and pelvic floor PT! Also really enjoying Dr. Rowan’s interview. Thanks Gyno Girl!

  • Thank you for your podcast.

    Your podcast has provided me with valuable information on perimenopause and menopause. It has helped me understand the changes I’m going through at 52 years old. It gave me the confidence to explain to my gynecologist what changes I am experiencing and my interest in HRT. I am now in HRT, and I feel more like my old self.
