Dr. Ricki Pollycove is an author, distinguished OB/GYN physician and menopause expert who is known around the country for her often contrarian ideas on women's health.
She's been a practicing physician since 1977, becoming board certified as an obstetrician-gynecologist in 1981. Along with her primary medical practice, Dr. Pollycove specializes in educating women about wellness-promoting life-style choices and nutrition, while integrating psychological counseling, energy medicine such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, and complementary healing into mainstream health care.
Dr. Pollycove is a frequent guest expert on local and national media, which, as she tells it, helps fulfill her mission of reaching a broad audience that needs to navigate the often confusing and contradictory information about women's health issues.
Dr. Pollycove co-authored with Jan and Rick Hanson the celebrated book, Mother Nurture: A Mother's Guide to Health in Body, Mind, and Relationships, published by Penguin.
Soon to be published is Dr. Pollycove's latest book, The Pocket Guide to Bio-Identical Hormones, in which she uncovers the myths about menopause and debunks fears that underlie national anxiety about hormone therapy throughout menopause.
Dr. Pollycove has been voted by two publications "Best Gynecologist" and one of the best top ten OB/GYN doctors in the San Francisco Bay Area.
