About Stanford Health Care Gynecology Clinic

Dr. Sanserino is a Stanford gynecologist who directs its gynecology survivorship and high-risk program. Much of her work is with women who have had cancer or carry a BRCA gene, including menopause brought on early by chemotherapy or surgery. She is used to managing menopause symptoms in women with hormone-sensitive breast cancer, where estrogen may not be safe, and to treating vaginal and bladder symptoms caused by tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors. She also sees women for ordinary perimenopause and menopause through Stanford's Menopause and Healthy Aging Program, along with sexual health concerns. She speaks fluent Spanish. Visits are at the Stanford gynecology clinic in Palo Alto and are booked through Stanford Health Care.
