A career spent making the appointment women always needed.
When Dr. Jennifer Berman finished her urology residency in the late 1990s, female sexual dysfunction had no standardized diagnosis, no treatment protocol, and very little academic interest. She decided that was a problem worth her career.
She co-founded the Female Sexual Medicine Center at UCLA in 1998 — the first of its kind in the United States — and co-authored For Women Only, the book that introduced female sexual dysfunction as a clinical concept to a mainstream audience. The book became a New York Times best-seller. So did the follow-up.
“Most of what should be a fifteen-minute conversation in an exam room never happens. So I built a practice where it does.”— Dr. Berman
Today, Dr. Berman runs a concierge practice in Beverly Hills focused on the medical care women have historically been told to grin and bear: arousal disorders, hormonal disruption through perimenopause and beyond, vaginal and pelvic floor changes, and the cluster of midlife symptoms that get dismissed as “just stress.”
Her approach combines pharmacology, regenerative therapies, energy-based devices, and the kind of unhurried diagnostic listening that has gone missing from most clinical encounters. She treats patients in person at her Beverly Hills office and via telemedicine across multiple states.
