About Dr. Isabell Beddow

Dr. Beddow runs a solo OB/GYN office in San Mateo and has been practicing in the Bay Area for over two decades. She was on faculty at Stanford before returning to private practice. The office covers the full range of obstetrics and gynecology, so menopause and hormone evaluation sits alongside pregnancy care and surgical gyn work rather than being the whole practice. She is a mother of twins herself and says that gives her a particular bond with other twin mothers. New patients book online and the office confirms the appointment the next business day. Video visits appear on her schedule for established patients only, so a first appointment means going in.
