Dr. Suzanne Fenske is passionate about empowering women to take charge of their health. She provides unparalleled integrative care for women’s health, including gynecological conditions and hormone therapy in perimenopause and menopause. As a double board-certified gynecologist and integrative medicine physician she offers a genuine, integrative approach, combining traditional medicine with botanicals, targeted supplements, and personalized lifestyle strategies.
Dr. Fenske’s passion arises from her personal experiences with hormones and health. She was diagnosed with PCOS in her 20s and followed the conventional recommendation to take birth control pills, which worsened her IBS. The IBS resolved when she stopped taking the pill, leading to a fascination with the interconnectedness of the body and how hormones respond to women’s environment, food, and stress.
Many years later, after enduring a stressful time, Dr. Fenske experienced amenorrhea (loss of menstrual cycles). When the stress calmed, and her cycles returned, she realized she was in perimenopause and was inspired to learn more about the struggles every woman faces as her hormones change in mid-life. She made it her passion and career to be educated in different approaches to healthcare and wellbeing. Dr. Fenske is a dedicated physician who firmly believes in offering excellent and sound medical care to all of her patients. She understands that every patient has unique needs and preferences, and therefore, she always takes a patient-centered approach to healthcare.
