Medford Women's Clinic is an OB/GYN group on State Street in Medford, with physicians and nurse practitioners working side by side. Kathryn Stringer joined in 2014 after close to a decade as a primary care provider, and she is a nurse-midwife as well as a family nurse practitioner. She sees women through perimenopause, menopause and the years after, and hormone therapy is one of the gynecology services the clinic lists. Her stated approach is that most health problems can be managed in more than one way, so she lays out the choices and lets a patient's own preferences and goals decide. She studied cultural anthropology before nursing, and she says she tries to model the physical and emotional self-care she asks of her patients. Care is in person, appointments are made by calling the office, and new patients bring a completed gynecology questionnaire to the first visit.
Dr. King is an OB-GYN who has cared for women in the Rogue Valley since 2002 and now runs her own women's health clinic in Medford. She started in obstetrics and delivered thousands of babies before moving into gynecology, fertility care and minimally invasive surgery. The clinic treats perimenopause and menopause with estrogen and progesterone, bioidentical hormones, vaginal estrogen and non-hormonal options, along with advice on diet and exercise. Sexual health is a particular interest, and she started a separate practice to focus on sexual medicine. New patients fill out an online intake form and staff call back to book. The clinic also hosts evening talks on perimenopause and menopause for the community.
