About HM Medical Inc.

Dr. Howe is a board certified OB/GYN at a small Newport Beach practice she runs with a second OB/GYN and several physician assistants. The practice covers the full span of gynecology, and perimenopause and menopause care sit alongside hormone testing, osteoporosis and bladder problems. Her particular interest is chronic pelvic pain, which she researched at UCLA and treats both medically and surgically. Before moving to Orange County she chaired an OB/GYN department in Ventura County and built a clinic there that included menopause management. She speaks Spanish. Visits are in the office and billed through insurance, and patients without insurance pay at the time of service.
