The GSM Collective

The GSM Collective Concierge medicine--elevated, full-service care for the modern woman. I provide each and every service to my patients personally.

My professional passion has always been providing the highest level of service to my patients ensuring good health and well being on the inside and out. You’ll be in my individualized and experienced care throughout your journey at the CGC . As someone who has practiced throughout the nation, in major academic medical centers, and other countries , I have served patients in a variety of culture

s, social situations and have seen a large variety of gynecologic pathology. I have seen almost everything and work to alleviate not only the current problems my patient’s face, but also work toward preventing future medical issues and am open to problems many doctors do not wish to discuss–such as s*xual health and cosmetic surgeries–that when addressed appropriately improve the overall lives of women. As an obstetrician and gynecologist, I have seen women through a variety of phases in their lives –experiencing the joys of bringing a baby into the world and heartaches of diagnosing a cancer. I have seen the changes women undergo postpartum and I specialize in helping women regain the confidence and good health they need during and after the postpartum period. Whether it is addressing your gynecologic health, improving your s*x life, or working to restore your natural beauty to regain your confidence, I can help you in your journey. Our goal here at the Center for Gynecology and Cosmetics (CGC) is to provide individualized healthcare and aesthetic services to our patients regardless of their phase in life, to not only live their life in the healthiest way possible but also to embrace it with full confidence. As we focus here only on gynecologic and aesthetic services, we will customize your care to achieve your best health and well being—no matter how you define it.

This week on Gyno Girl Presents: S*x, Drugs and Hormones I have on Calle Foster, a leadership coach who spent 12 years in corporate learning and development. We talk about generational differences and why Gen Z is changing everything about how we need to lead.

Every generation was raised differently. Every generation has different expectations. Gen Z didn’t choose to be shaped by close parenting, social media, therapy, and active shooter drills.

But those things created a generation that needs something different from their leaders.

We talk about why the old way of leading isn’t going to work anymore, what generational context actually means, and how understanding where Gen Z came from changes how you manage them, teach them, and parent them.

Is there bias in AI? Absolutely. It’s giving you biased answers based on what it already knows about you.

You search for wellness content, so it leans that way. You read about alternative medicine, it remembers that.

That’s why AI isn’t a tool for everything. If you’re a South Asian woman and you need real information about heart disease, but your AI is trained on your search history of wellness trends, you might miss what actually matters.

So the real question is: if we can’t trust AI, why are we using it at all? Because when you understand its limits, you can use it for what it’s actually good at. Build spaces where people can ask questions, get answers, and then know when to step it up to a real person.

Imagine feeling like something is wrong. Your heart is racing, you’re tired, something feels off.

You go to your doctor and they tell you it’s stress or anxiety. You start to doubt yourself.

But then you look at your wearable and your numbers are elevated too. Now you have confirmation.

Women should just be believed, but the data shows what you’re experiencing is real. Your wearable is just confirming what you already knew.

This week on Gyno Girl Presents: S*x, Drugs and Hormones I have on Dr. Ami Bhatt, Chief Innovation Officer at the American College of Cardiology and Chair of the FDA Digital Health Advisory Committee. The biggest part of our discussion: is AI going to replace doctors?

AI is not meant to replace healthcare professionals, it’s meant to work alongside you. It’s not meant to think for you.

There is just so much data, and with more and more patients using wearables, it would be impossible for one person to analyze and retain all that information. But a big caveat: it’s not meant to make decisions for you.

We also discuss: collaborative intelligence, wearables and health tracking, bias in algorithms, why women adopt AI faster than men, and why trusting your body matters.

When Sabrina Johnson pitches her company to investors, she talks about why women’s s*xual pleasure and arousal matter.

Some male investors respond with a question: why does that matter? Think about that for a second.

We’re talking about fundamental human pleasure, and the question being asked is whether it even matters.

This moment perfectly captures what Sabrina is fighting against in women’s healthcare innovation.

In this episode with Sabrina Johnson, founder and CEO of DARE Bioscience, we talk about what it actually takes to innovate in women’s healthcare. Women knew what they wanted: something that worked fast, not something that required planning or waiting around.

But the science didn’t cooperate. Getting this type of medication through skin tissue turned out to be a completely different challenge than anyone expected. Sabrina had to solve a problem that hadn’t been solved before.

This is where the real innovation started.

Did you know the cervix has sensory nerve fibers from three different nerve pathways?

The cervix receives innervation through the pelvic splanchnic nerves (S2-S4), hypogastric nerves (T10-L2), and fibers traveling through the vagus nerve. That’s one reason why procedures involving cervical manipulation can trigger significant pain, cramping, nausea, dizziness, sweating, and vasovagal reactions in some patients.

Yet one of the most common instruments used in gynecology remains the tenaculum—a toothed instrument from the 1800s that grasps the cervix and has changed very little over generations.

This is why we need innovation in women’s health

The company Aspivix developed Carevix®, a suction-based cervical stabilization device designed to reduce the need for the sharp teeth of a traditional tenaculum during procedures such as IUD insertion, hysteroscopy, and endometrial biopsy.

Is Carevix perfect? No. It may be less effective in some patients, particularly those with very small cervices or certain anatomical challenges. But innovation doesn’t have to be perfect to be important.

For too long, women’s healthcare has accepted pain as the cost of doing business. We should be investing in better instruments, better pain control, and better patient experiences—not relying on devices whose design philosophy dates back to an era when women’s pain wasn’t a priority.

Moving women’s healthcare forward means questioning old assumptions, studying patient experiences, and embracing innovation when it has the potential to improve care.

Because “we’ve always done it this way” should never be the standard.

In this episode, I’m talking with Sabrina Johnson, founder and CEO of DARE Bioscience, the only publicly traded pharmaceutical company focused entirely on women’s healthcare.

She spent over 35 years developing medicines and realized something shocking: no one was actually innovating for women. Only 1% of pharmaceutical investment goes toward women’s health.

We dive into why that is. We talk about the s*xism, the stigma, and the cultural barriers to even discussing female pleasure and s*xual health. We also discuss the products she’s building to change it.

This moment from the episode captures the problem perfectly: an NPR station refused to air her interview because she said the word “vagina” too many times.

I loved seeing the recent New York Times opinion piece calling attention to menopause and the broader women’s health crisis by
Let’s not forget —-

Patients with s*xual pain.
Women with vestibulodynia
Women with lichen sclerosis
Women with pelvic floor disorders.
Women with PGAD . Those suffering with premature menopause after cancer

These conditions affect millions, yet receive only a tiny fraction of research funding.

And the women most likely to be dismissed—women of color, immigrant women, low-income women, LGBTQ and other marginalized communities—often wait the longest for answers.

Dismissal is harm.

That’s why we need more than awareness. We need investment.

So here’s my ask to Melinda French Gates and other leaders investing in women’s health:

Help fund the future of s*xual medicine.

Support organizations like ISSWSH that are training clinicians, advancing research, and working to ensure that every woman—not just the easiest stories to tell—has access to evidence-based care.

Because every woman deserves to be believed.

And every woman deserves answers. S*xual health for EVERY BODY *xualhealthishealth

When your child is diagnosed with anxiety or OCD, the first question parents ask is: what actually works?

Dr. John Parkhurst discusses the research behind treatment options from cognitive behavioral therapy to medication to combined approaches. Understanding what the science shows can help you make informed decisions about your child’s care.
