Felice Gersh, MD, a multi-award-winning physician with dual board certifications in OB-GYN and integrative medicine, will deliver a powerful presentation, focusing on the etiology and treatment of vasomotor symptoms, including hormone therapy. You will walk away with new solutions to address your patients’ concerns surrounding VSM.
