Dr. Lizellen La Follette, MD

Approach

• That doesn't mean fads, that doesn't mean quick fixes. That means we're in this for the long haul and we're in this with good information
• We take care of women from the beginning of their reproductive lives well into menopause and beyond, and my job is to make sure that all the women that I take care of have good information
• I'm now going to approach medicine in general as a holistic way of how to keep women healthy and well long into their 90s
• My job is to educate women and OBGYN only takes care of women and to make sure that I stay on the cutting edge of new information

Specialization

• I want to talk about one particular area that I feel very passionately about and that is a vaginal birth after c-section
• We follow you prenatally, and we see you on labor and delivery
• I'm a board certified OBGYN and I specialize in both obstetrics and gynecology as well as menopause and hormone replacement therapy

Technique

• Typically we give people morphine and Phenergan to get them to sleep

Training & credentials

• I've been in private practice in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 35 years

Recovery guidance

• Less bleeding, less infection, quicker recovery, better postpartum mood, better postpartum iron, all the things that make a difference in terms of keeping women safe
