About Shelly R Coe, MD

Dr. Coe is a UCLA-trained gynecologist and has been a Menopause Society certified practitioner since 2012. Menopause care here means systemic and vaginal hormone therapy, with lifestyle changes, pelvic floor physical therapy and psychological support added when they fit. She also does general gynecology, sexual health and preventive primary care, and she is trained in vulvoscopy for vulvar conditions like vulvodynia. She stepped back from practice for years to look after her family, living in Montana and London, and finished a master's in health policy before reopening her Newport Beach office. Visits can be in the office or by phone or video, and new patients request an appointment through the office and get portal access before the first visit.
