About IntimMedicine Specialists
IntimMedicine Specialists is a small Washington DC practice that Dr. Simon founded and still runs as medical director, with two physician assistants who have worked with him since the 1990s. He treats women across the whole reproductive span, and the midlife side of the practice covers menopause and perimenopause, low testosterone, bone loss, sexual pain and sexual function after cancer. His approach to hormones is to balance estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and the practice says most women can use hormone therapy with few risks. For testosterone he will use gels, injections or pellets, and he says he does not treat on lab values alone. Visits happen in the M Street office or by video, and virtual appointments are offered on Saturday mornings as well as weekdays. New patients submit a form or call and the office rings back to finish booking, and because the practice runs its own clinical trials some patients are offered a place in a study.
