TārāMD Signature Provider

Dr. Suzanne Fenske is the Founder and Medical Director of TārāMD, an innovative women’s health practice in New York City specializing in integrative gynecology, functional medicine, perimenopause and menopause care, hormone optimization, and longevity medicine. As a double board-certified gynecologist and integrative medicine physician, Dr. Fenske is nationally recognized for helping women navigate every stage of life—from adolescence through menopause and beyond—using evidence-based, highly personalized care.

In September 2026, Dr. Fenske was selected as one of only four expert witnesses to testify before the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging at the first-ever congressional hearing dedicated to menopause, titled “Half the Country, Zero Hearings: Meeting the Moment to End the Menopause Care Gap in America.” Her testimony brought the realities she sees every day in clinical practice to the national stage, addressing critical gaps in menopause education, physician training, research, access to care, and the need to better equip healthcare providers to support women throughout the menopause transition.

Dr. Fenske proudly serves as a Health Ambassador for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office on Women’s Health, helping advance national education and awareness surrounding women’s health, menopause, hormone health, and preventive medicine. She is also a sought-after national speaker, educator, media contributor, and physician thought leader, regularly appearing on television, podcasts, in national publications, and at medical conferences to advocate for a more comprehensive, patient-centered approach to women’s healthcare.

At TārāMD, Dr. Fenske specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of complex women’s health conditions, including perimenopause, menopause, hormone imbalances, endometriosis, pelvic pain, sexual wellness concerns, metabolic dysfunction, and PMOS (formerly PCOS, Polymetabolic Ovarian Syndrome). Her signature approach combines the best of conventional gynecology with functional and integrative medicine, incorporating advanced hormone therapy, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, targeted supplementation, and personalized treatment strategies designed to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to a patient’s health concerns.

Dr. Fenske’s passion for women’s health began with her own personal journey. In her twenties, she was diagnosed with PMOS (formerly PCOS) and was treated with birth control pills, the conventional standard of care at the time. While this helped manage one aspect of her condition, it significantly worsened her irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). After discontinuing the medication and experiencing complete resolution of her gastrointestinal symptoms, she became fascinated by the intricate relationship between hormones, metabolism, gut health, nutrition, inflammation, stress, and overall well-being.

Years later, following a prolonged period of significant life stress that resulted in amenorrhea (loss of menstrual cycles), Dr. Fenske experienced firsthand how dramatically lifestyle factors can influence hormonal health. When her cycles returned, she realized she had entered perimenopause, further inspiring her to dedicate her career to understanding menopause, hormone optimization, healthy aging, and the evolving science of women’s longevity.

Dr. Fenske believes exceptional healthcare begins by listening. She takes a highly personalized, patient-centered approach, recognizing that every woman’s health journey is unique. Her goal is to empower women through education, partnership, and individualized treatment strategies that help them optimize their health—not simply manage symptoms.

Her medical training includes an accelerated medical program at Lehigh University followed by medical school at Drexel University College of Medicine. She completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City and a prestigious fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She later completed advanced training through the University of Arizona Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine and the Institute for Functional Medicine.

Dr. Fenske is board certified in both Obstetrics & Gynecology and Integrative Medicine and is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) and Nationally Certified Menopause Practitioner (NCMP).

In addition to caring for patients, Dr. Fenske actively contributes to peer-reviewed research, physician education, and national conversations shaping the future of women’s healthcare. Her participation in the inaugural congressional hearing on menopause reflects her broader commitment to advancing evidence-based education, improving physician training, expanding access to informed menopause care, and elevating women’s health within the national healthcare conversation.

She is passionate about advancing education surrounding menopause, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT), functional medicine, integrative medicine, PMOS, metabolic health, healthy aging, and preventive care so women can make informed decisions and live healthier, longer, and more vibrant lives.

Dr. Fenske lives on Long Island, New York, with her husband, their daughters, two beautiful Golden Cavapoos, Ruby and Roxy, and four beloved sugar gliders—Apple, Snow, Frost, and Cloud. Their family continues to honor the memory of their cherished dog, Lola, whose unconditional love helped shape Dr. Fenske’s lifelong appreciation for the extraordinary bond between people and animals.

Outside of medicine, she enjoys reading, meditation, exercise, yoga, cooking, lifelong learning, and spending time with her family.
