MEET DR. NELI AUGUSTSON

Thoughtful care. Evidence-based medicine. A physician who listens.

Good menopause care starts with listening. Symptoms during midlife can affect nearly every part of daily life, yet women are often left trying to sort through conflicting information on their own. Afina Health was created to provide a more thoughtful approach: evidence-based medicine, individualized recommendations, and clear conversations about your options.
