Kathryn Stringer

Medford Women's Clinic is an OB/GYN group on State Street in Medford, with physicians and nurse practitioners working side by side. Kathryn Stringer joined in 2014 after close to a decade as a primary care provider, and she is a nurse-midwife as well as a family nurse practitioner. She sees women through perimenopause, menopause and the years after, and hormone therapy is one of the gynecology services the clinic lists. Her stated approach is that most health problems can be managed in more than one way, so she lays out the choices and lets a patient's own preferences and goals decide. She studied cultural anthropology before nursing, and she says she tries to model the physical and emotional self-care she asks of her patients. Care is in person, appointments are made by calling the office, and new patients bring a completed gynecology questionnaire to the first visit.
