About Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group
Dr. Maayah is an OB-GYN with Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group and sees patients at the Mills-Peninsula Family Birth Center in Burlingame and at a second office in Daly City. Her practice covers all of women's health, from a teenager's first periods through pregnancy and childbirth and on into perimenopause and menopause. She names hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones and post-menopausal treatment among what she does, and a large share of her listed work is gynecologic surgery. Minimally invasive surgery is her stated professional interest, because she wants women back to their usual routine with little recovery time. Visits are in person only, and a new patient starts by calling the office rather than booking online. She speaks fluent Hindi and Urdu along with conversational Spanish, and she is a long distance runner outside of work.
