Today I am speaking with Dr. Alicia Robbins, MD on Female Health, Hormones, Vaginal Health and More!
About Dr. Alicia Robbins, MD
Alicia Robbins is a Mom of 3 boys, a board certified gynecologist, trained in lifestyle medicine and founder of The Elm — a boutique women’s health practice which offers gynecology and lifestyle medicine and has recently opened in Greenwich.
Alicia approach is unique and refreshing because she believes women’s health needs to modernize itself and is part of the movement to start creating a better experience for women. We as women do so much for those around us and it’s easy to not prioritize our health, especially when dealing with the healthcare system is such an unpleasant experience.
Alicia specifically focuses her practice on women in “midlife” specifically their 30s-60s and helping them navigate hormone therapy, perimenopause, and menopause. She is filling the gap in terms of providers who are focused on this next phase of life after pregnancy.
