About Community Physician Network OBGYN Care

Dr. Westgate works in a Community Health Network ob/gyn office in Westfield, north of Indianapolis. She stopped practicing obstetrics in 2020 and now sees only gynecology patients, and she has extra training in cancer prevention and early detection plus a women's genomics counseling certificate from ACOG. The network's menopause page names her as one of two doctors it points women to when menopause symptoms or sexual health problems follow cancer treatment. Menopause care there covers hormone therapy with estradiol, progesterone and testosterone, vaginal estrogen, and non-hormonal medicines for women who cannot or choose not to use hormones. She also still operates, including laparoscopy and vNOTES, so heavy perimenopausal bleeding can be worked up and treated by the same doctor. This is a health system practice, so scheduling and messaging run through MyChart, and visits can be in person or virtual.
