Kara Govoki was wonderful. She was so personable and easy to talk to, and I really felt like she listened to everything I had to say.

What an incredible and convenient option for women!
I was very comfortable talking with Dr. Govoni, she made it very easy to open up and talk about my personal issues. She came up with a plan for me and I'm looking forward to feeling like myself soon. Would highly recommend her and Elektra Health
Kara is thoughtful and knowledgeable. I sought Kara's support to address symptoms of menopause. I felt heard, seen and that my concerns & issues were important and worth resolving. Kara explained the causes of my issues and offered me multiple convenient options to resolve or reduce them. VERY HELPFUL!
My visit was very informative. My provider listened and was able to help me with HRT. I learned from her as well. The whole process was simple. I was able to be seen right away. I’m very happy with my experience. I’ve already recommended your practice to my friends. Thank you.
My first visit went well. I felt Kara Govoni CNM understood my symptoms and clearly explained what was going on with my body.
I loved Kara! She did a great job of listening to me and offering me options in how to manage my care. She definitely had a preferred plan of action, but did a good job of presenting a balanced case for the various choices. I was able to be seen quickly, and the reminders helped me be sure I wouldn't miss my appointment.
The practitioner Kara Giovani and the doctor Laurel Edmondsen that I saw were amazing. Compassionate and answered all my questions. They took their time, they heard my concerns and my symptoms. Perimenopause is such a challenging time and often times women are brushed off and expected to just deal with it but at Elektra health the empathy along with solid answers to support as well as the attention to listen was something I have not experienced anywhere else as of yet. I highly recommend this service. Making appointments was very easy and when I had questions and needed refills about the HRT I was prescribed, they responded immediately through email. The app is also very good.
