Pantea Pahlavan, MD
Hospitalist, OB/GYN
Years of studying and practicing medicine has led me to a strong belief in my care philosophy. I believe patients are partners in their own healthcare and should be encouraged to be fully informed and self-advocates.
Being an OB/GYN has allowed me to enjoy an enduring relationship with my patients over the years and is one of the few specialties to do so outside of family medicine and pediatrics. I love working with women. Bringing new life into the world is such a joyous occasion and momentous part of a woman’s life. I also thrive on solving medical problems and procedure-based medicine, which is why I’m trained in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and robotic surgery. In addition, I have a special interest in menopause care and am proudly certified as a menopause practitioner by the North American Menopause Society. I also treat abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroids, abnormal pap smears, endometriosis, and ovarian cysts.
I consider myself a compassionate doctor. I’m a good listener who believes in empowering patients with knowledge to help in their self-care. There’s no better way to understand a patient than to be one, and of course I have firsthand experience in that regard.
The greatest joys in my workday are the times I have positive interactions with the patients in my care.
In my free time, I love to travel, exercise, and read. Yet, as a mother of two teenagers, I feel as though I rarely have time for anything more than being a doctor, mother, and daughter.
