About UCLA Health Westwood OBGYN

Dr. Oberman co-directs UCLA Health's Comprehensive Menopause Program, where she leads its education work, and she also keeps a general obstetrics and gynecology practice at the Westwood OBGYN office. New patients fill out a health questionnaire before the first visit that takes 30 to 45 minutes and is due a week ahead, so the consultation itself can go straight to symptoms and treatment. The first visit also screens bone, breast, cognition, heart, mood, sleep and genitourinary health, and anything needing a specialist is handed to another UCLA clinician rather than managed in the menopause clinic. Hormone therapy is offered alongside non-hormonal options such as gabapentin and fezolinetant, and the program schedules a yearly health assessment after that. Outside menopause she has a particular interest in women planning a trial of labor after a cesarean, and she was the lead gynecologist on UCLA trials using estriol in multiple sclerosis.
