Dr. Ghazaleh Afshar

Dr. Afshar is board-certified in Gynecology and Lifestyle Medicine with over 20 years of experience in women's health. She specializes in general gynecology, incorporating lifestyle medicine principles into the management of perimenopause and menopause transition, while helping women navigate the complex physical and emotional changes that occur during midlife. Dr. Afshar earned her BA from the University of Maryland and received her medical degree from the Medical College of Virginia, VCU. She completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at George Washington University and practiced at Kaiser Permanente in Northern California for 18 years. As a clinical expert in gynecology, it wasn't until Dr. Afshar began experiencing perimenopause herself that she recognized the significant gap in care for women in this age group. After losing her mother to breast cancer, Dr. Afshar made the decision to leave her corporate position to start a specialized practice dedicated to her mother's memory, Tala. Through this deeply personal journey, she has developed a unique understanding of the challenges women face during midlife transitions and is committed to providing evidence based, comprehensive and compassionate care that addresses both the medical and lifestyle factors that impact women's health and well-being.
