• Bethel Medical Group is happy to announce our new Women’s Wellness initiative.  In addition to offering comprehensive preventative healthcare for the entire family, at Bethel Medical Group we are now putting a special emphasis on comprehensive women’s wellness.  The areas that we are addressing are as follows:

1)         Hormone Replacement Therapy.  There is considerable confusion concerning who needs HRT and on how to best provide women with bioidentical hormones that meet their unique needs for replacement therapy.  This is a special interest of both Dr. Douglas Grogan and Sue Andrea.  Dr. Grogan has been a speaker on HRT medications for a number of years. 

2)         Issues with Respect to Marital Intimacy.  Dr. Grogan has been involved in helping women with both sexual dysfunction and improving marriage relationships since 2002.  Dr. Grogan is a member of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health and frequently attends international symposiums on women’s sexual health.

3)         Psychiatric Disorders in Women.  We were pleased to have Dr. Charlie Davis join our group in January 2010.  Dr. Davis brings many years of experience in helping women who are suffering from anxiety and depression.  Dr. Davis’ credentials include his PhD from Boston University, his Masters of Divinity from Yale University, and post doctoral training at the Family Institute of Cambridge, MA.  He has been involved in the private practice of psychotherapy for over 25 years. 

Also, Dr. Grogan has over 25 years experience in the drug treatment of depression.  In addition, he is a frequent speaker on depression for several pharmaceutical companies, and is considered an expert in gender differences in treating depression (i.e., depression in women).

Katherine Grogan is also experienced in treating depression, bi-polar and anxiety disorders in women also.

4)         Nutritional/Weight-loss Program. We are pleased to offer Metagenics, a special nutritional program with proven success in weight reduction.  This program is a no-nonsense program of self empowerment.  You learn step-by-step how to develop and blend helpful choices in everyday life.  The twelve week comprehensive program includes clinical tests, on-going lifestyle consults, nutritional counseling, progress monitoring, and the support that you need to succeed.  These services are offered by Sue Andrea. 

5)         Gynecologic Procedures.  We now offer specific on-site gynecologic evaluations for diagnostic procedures such as colposcopies, endometrial biopsies, IUD insertions, and pelvic ultrasounds.

In summary, at Bethel Women’s Wellness, we offer a wide range of services for women including comprehensive preventative healthcare, special knowledge and experience in hormone replacement therapy, appointments for psychotherapy and marriage counseling and help with chemical treatment of depression.  We also are equipped to fully coordinate every aspect of women’s healthcare including gynecologic surgery and breast surgery through numerous consultants in and around the Boston area whom we refer to.
