About The Intimate Makeover
Dr. Otteno is an OB-GYN whose practice is mostly cosmetic and restorative gynecology, and hormone therapy is one part of it. She trained in female genital cosmetic surgery with Dr. Michael Goodman. For menopause care she starts with an hour-long in-person hormone consult, then writes a plan that can use pills, patches, gels or creams. Bioidentical hormones are one of the options she discusses. Regular follow-up visits are used to check how treatment is going and adjust the dose. Women who are not good candidates for hormones get other options and lifestyle advice instead.
