Specialist in Bio-Identical Hormonal Therapy
Dr. Hall became the local specialist in BHRT for women, and one of few gynecologists in the area trained and experienced in this method. She feels strongly any provider who prescribes hormonal therapy should be able to treat any side effects or problems that may occur, and this can only happen if your provider is thoroughly trained in women’s health. Her entire career has been dedicated to women’s health and hormonal replacement therapy has always been a large part of her practice.

As a distinguished member of the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disorders (ISSVD)- the marquee medical society devoted to the treatment of vulvovaginal disorders and sexual pain, Dr. Hall has developed an active part of her practice in treating women with these disorders. She is one of only a handful of providers in this area who has expertise in correctly diagnosing and treating resistant or unusual vulvar conditions, such as lichen sclerosus of the vulva.
Dr. Hall’s dedication to her patients who walked through her door showed in the one-on-one consultations she had with each patient that were focused on truly listening and understanding your needs and uncovering what has changed specifically about your life and lifestyle, rather than simply making assessments based on lab values or a standard list of symptoms. With this tailored approach to practicing medicine, Dr. Hall delivered real, workable health solutions to her patients for decades.
