Recommended Physicians

We receive many requests for doctor referrals that specialize in women’s health. Our Recommended Physicians program allows our community to recommend their provider to others. Our team then verifies each referral and lists them here for you!

This is not a list of personal referrals from Dr. Haver but a collection of individual submissions from women worldwide who have had exceptional experiences with their healthcare providers. The physicians on this list are not associated with The ‘Pause Life and may offer differing advice.

Dr.

Adam Wray

OB/GYN

“Dr. Adam Wray offered me anesthesia for an endometrial biopsy after I had researched the procedure and looked at many reviews on the procedure and found that many women found the procedure barbaric and extremely painful.”

Adeeti Gupta

FACOG

OB/GYN

“Dr. Gupta‘s clinic provides affordable healthcare to women in the New York area and Los Angeles. I love her office because it’s affordable care for women and is there if you need to go last minute. Her staff is always very caring and considerate. She offers menopause advice and a dietary plan. Since working with her for my perimenopausal symptoms I have felt so much better.”

Dr.

Adrienne Rasbach

OB/GYN

“I transferred to Dr. Rasbach’s practice after my former OBGYN retired. This also coincided with both the pandemic and me going through menopause. She worked with me for 6 months to get my hormones right, both virtually and in person, always responding promptly and listening to my symptoms to find the right combination. I can’t recommend her enough; she is kind, thorough, and really listens to you.”

Dr.

Alexis Lipton

MD

OB/GYN

“During my menopause journey I developed Lichen Sclerosus of the Vulva. It’s not rare during meno but of course not alot of studies and research. I was treated with an aggressive amount of Clobetesol, steroid cream which gave me Cushing’s Syndrome for 4.5 years and my doctor refused to acknowledge the obvious physical and mental changes. I switched to Dr. Lipton. Dr. L had awesome results with other women like me by using the Mona Lisa Laser. 4 sessions later I have my Vulva anatomy back and I no longer have Cushing’s. She treated me with compassion, sympathy and such amazing care. The procedures were covered with just a $20 copay per visit. Get help!”

Dr.

Alexis Michopoulos

MD

Family Medicine

“Dr. Michopoulos is unlike any doctor you’ve ever seen. Rather than treating the symptoms, she persistently asks “why” to get to the root cause(s) of any problem. She functions like a co-detective in the work of discovering what is going on with your unique ecosystem. Dr. Michopoulos holds her patients to a high standard and works just as hard as her patients to arrive at the most effective treatments and solutions. She is truly amazing to work with and undoubtedly can assist anyone in solving their issues and/or reaching their health goals.”

Amanda Ricker

“Amanda Ricker has been the only provider to fill the gap and provide education in ALL the options women have available to them to feel better. She’s a Family Nurse Practitioner, Certified Menopause Practitioner, and Certified Nurse Midwife – she’s done it all! She discusses lifestyle, supplementations, hormone therapy and prescription therapy if needed – all without any pressure. I feel that her main goal is to educate and support me. She’s extremely responsive to any questions I have. She also works towards disease prevention. I cannot say enough about what a game changer it’s been to work with her. HIGHLY Recommend!”

Amber George

NP-C

Nurse Practitioner

“I went to Amber at the recommendation of a friend to look into bio-identical hormones. My testosterone level was almost non-existent when I was tested. Fast forward 4 years later and I feel and look better at 59 than I did 10 to 15 years ago. I have muscle definition like never before and my weight is under control. I see her every four months for a pellet replacement and will continue for as long as I can.”

Amber Shamburger

OB/GYN

“I’ve been a patient of Friendswood Women for over 15 yrs. Dr. Shamburger and the other providers have always exceeded my expectations. All of the providers are easy to talk to and I feel like they have my best interest at heart. They take the time to listen and make sure all your concerns are addressed before you leave. The short wait time upon arrival is a huge plus, too. I’m in and out for my well woman exams in an hour or less. Going to the doctor has never been so easy. Wish all providers were as pleasant to see as Friendswood Women.”

“Dr. Amy is absolutely incredible. She takes time to listen, is an amazing resource for women’s health and an advocate for women in general. She is someone that will take time out of her schedule to make sure you feel heard and she has given you the information you need prior to leaving her office. If there is something that she is not as informed on, she will take the time to research and get back to you with the information. I can’t say enough good things about her!”
