We are passionate about women's health

Whether you're a young student, busy stay-at-home-mom, travelling professional, or proud grandmother, our office is passionate about providing exceptional women's health care services.

Dr. Sandhu's approach to medicine incorporates both traditional and alternative methods. She appreciates that 'health' is a continuum, where there is an interdependent relationship between mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Dr. Sandhu is keenly aware that issues in one area can manifest in others, resulting in a constellation of symptoms.

Dr. Sandhu knows how disconcerting, intimidating, and overwhelming navigating the medical field can be, and is proud to serve as an advocate for her patients. She understands the importance of a trusting, collaborative doctor-patient relationship, and considers it a privilege to work with women from all corners of the San Francisco Bay Area on their journeys to mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

OBSTETRICS (OB)

Dr. Sandhu personally attends more than 90% of patient deliveries, resulting in a high demand for her services.

We encourage questions and allow for enough time to answer them thoroughly during appointments. 

Prenatal services typically begin in the 8th week of pregnancy, when you will visit our office for an ultrasound and consultation. Of course, we are happy to see you sooner if you are having problems. From then until your third trimester, appointments will be scheduled every four weeks, although patients with high-risk pregnancies may be seen more often and/or care may be co-managed with other specialists. Beginning in the third trimester, appointments will be scheduled every two weeks, and from 36 weeks on, we will see you weekly. 

We support natural childbirth and VBAC's (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) and have been advocating hypnobirthing concepts for years. When the birthing process necessitates it, we also have many medical options. Our goal is to help you have the birth experience you envision.

Sexual Health

Women are often reluctant to talk about issues like urine loss, vaginal pain and dryness, and issues around painful sex. There are multiple factors throughout a woman's life that can affect her sexual and vulvar/vaginal health: childbirth, menopause, chronic disease, and even cancer. 

There are multiple ways to treat these complex problems and a thorough evaluation is needed to develop individualized treatment plan. The results we've seen in our patients has been dramatic. They have more self confidence, feel better about themselves, and are able to enjoy physical intimacy again. It can be quite life changing. 

Mona Lisa Touch

Dr. Sandhu specializes in a minimally invasive laser treatment to revitalize vaginal tissue with the Mona Lisa Touch. 

Mona Lisa Touch is a game changer. It has allowed us to help those women who can't use hormones, fail other therapies, or need quicker results without side effects or pain. We've been able to help those who have spent a long time, sometimes years, avoiding sex. It's so exciting to be able to offer patients a safe, effective, treatment when it seemed there was nothing that could be done. And what's more natural than light? 

This laser treatment is done with C02 fractional lasers that stimulate collagen growth in the vaginal and vulvar tissues, which in turn helps with symptoms such as vaginal dryness, itching, burning, atrophy/laxity, and urinary incontinence.

Within a few treatments spread out between 12 weeks, patients have been able to see significant improvement to their quality of life. The Mona Lisa Touch is not an option for all, but if you have these symptoms and cannot or prefer not to use estrogen therapy, this can be a great alternative! Like any medical procedure, we recommend making an appointment with our office to see if the Mona Lisa Touch can help you with your symptoms.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Women do not have the luxury of downtime.

We usually are the ones running the show: kids, spouses, parents, work, and home. So we often put our health on the back burner. Who can afford 6-8 weeks to recover from surgery? 

The result is women frequently put off self-care, sometimes for years, and this takes a toll on health. This is why I was determined to bring robotic gynecology to John Muir and performed the first robotic gyn surgery here. 

Robotic surgery is a natural refinement of laparoscopic surgery. It allows me to do more complex and refined surgery, resulting in lower surgical trauma and quicker recovery times, often just 2 weeks instead of two months.
