“Dr. Amersi is overall amazing. Her office is warm and inviting and going to her from my annual is something I look forward to and never dread (which says a lot). I moved from Los Angeles to NYC and still fly back and see her. Great service, extremely understanding, compassionate and knowledgeable. ”

About Dr. Shamsah Amersi
*We look forward to welcoming you to our office. We accept all major PPO insurances. Please make sure you have read our administrative fee policy prior to your appt. This is separate from insurance. *
Welcome A New Era of Holistic Hormone Health for Women.
I’m Dr. Shamsah Amersi, a board-certified OB/GYN who has spent more than two decades caring for thousands of women through every stage of life. Over these years, I’ve seen far too many women dismissed, misdiagnosed, or handed generic solutions that never touch the root of their symptoms. I founded my practice to change that—because women deserve care that is deeply personal, science-based, and truly transformative.
My Philosophy of Care: True healing begins with listening. Every woman’s body tells a unique story, and my role is to uncover the underlying drivers of imbalance—not simply mask them. By blending the precision of Western medicine with the insights of functional, root-cause-driven strategies, I help women restore balance across their hormonal, metabolic, emotional, and neurological systems.
Why Personalization Matters: Hormone health is never one-size-fits-all. PCOS, thyroid disorders, perimenopause, menopause, endometriosis—these conditions manifest differently in every woman. That’s why my care begins with thorough listening, advanced biomarker testing, and individualized treatment plans that meet your specific biology and goals.
Recognition & Leadership: My dedication to women’s health has been recognized nationally and internationally. I am proud to serve on the Menopause National Association Advisory Board, helping shape the future of care for women navigating midlife and beyond.
My Promise to Women: You do not have to accept fatigue, mood swings, weight changes, or brain fog as “just part of being a woman.” You deserve care that is deeply personal, backed by data, and tailored to your unique physiology.
