About West Coast OB/GYN
West Coast OB/GYN is a group practice with offices in San Diego, Carlsbad and La Mesa, and Dr. French is one of the providers who work only out of the La Mesa office. The group does full obstetric and gynecologic care, and its gynecology list includes menopause and hormone replacement therapy. Her own bio says she follows women from adolescence through childbirth to menopause and beyond, and that she is drawn to minimally invasive surgery. She came to women's health first as a counselor for rape and domestic violence survivors and for women with eating disorders, then decided to go to medical school. New patients download registration and history forms from the site and send them in ahead of the visit. The practice keeps some evening hours and draws blood in the office.
