Dr. Lark's Vision of Women's Health Care

“I have a vision.

“A vision of a holistic approach to women's health care that favors safe, natural alternatives over toxic drugs and invasive surgery...

“An approach to women's health care where doctors spend adequate time listening to their patients and treating them as partners in the healing process...

“An approach to women's health care that honors women and recognizes the value of their intuitive skills in helping them solve their own health problems...

“An approach to women's health care that informs women of all their choices before recommending any single course of action...

“An approach to women's health care that is based on extensive scientific research and a thorough understanding of a woman's unique body chemistry...

“An approach to women's health care borne from an understanding of what it's like to be a woman—putting everyone else's needs first—but still needing to stay healthy, herself...

“An approach to women's health care that empowers women to restore their health and vitality no matter what their age.

“That is my vision of women's health care.”

— Susan M. Lark, M.D.
