About Parallel Med
Dr. Carol runs a small concierge practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, and she is going through midlife herself. She spent about 20 years as an emergency physician before turning to menopause care. Care starts with a free 30-minute video call. After that comes a package of two long visits, each 60 to 90 minutes, and you can message her between and after them. Visits can be at her Manhattan office, by video, or at your home or workplace. The visits look at symptom treatment along with bone, heart and breast cancer risk. She does not replace your own doctors, so you still need a primary care doctor and a gynecologist for exams and mammograms.
