Body-Mind Aware Women’s Health Care

Dr. Tamar Elram is a senior gynecologist with many years of clinical and leadership experience. She offers compassionate, comprehensive women’s health care that views each woman as a whole person—body, mind, and spirit.

Her approach combines extensive medical expertise and evidence-based medicine with deep listening, respect for each woman’s personal boundaries, and an understanding of how physical and emotional life experiences can affect health throughout adolescence, the reproductive years, and menopause.

The goal is to create a healing medical experience that is supportive, empowering, and restorative, helping reduce suffering throughout every stage of a woman’s life.
