Continuity Beyond Pregnancy
Many of our patients first come to us for prenatal care and stay with us for gynecology long after. After birth, we transition you from postpartum care into well-woman visits, address pelvic floor concerns, and discuss contraception. If you are thinking about a future pregnancy, preconception counseling is a natural next step.
A Boutique, Respectful Environment
Our Certified Nurse-Midwives take time to listen, explain your options, and respect your autonomy. Visits take place in our calm Manhattan Beach suite, and our Board-Certified OB/GYNs are available when a concern requires physician evaluation. Meet our team or read our FAQs.
