About Northside/Northpoint OB-GYN
Northside/Northpoint OB-GYN is a group obstetrics and gynecology practice with offices in Atlanta and Alpharetta, run as a division of Atlanta Women's Health Group. Dr Durairaj is one of the practice's Menopause Society certified practitioners, and the group's hormone therapy page says that care is given with the guidance of its certified practitioners. She has about twenty years in practice and builds lifestyle medicine into her visits, starting from sleep, stress management, exercise and diet. The practice writes about hormones in unusual detail for a general OB-GYN group, with one post arguing the Women's Health Initiative never established a breast cancer risk and saying FDA approved bioidentical hormones get prescribed first. Alongside hormone therapy it runs a clinically detailed osteoporosis service with onsite bone density testing, and it treats the vaginal and bladder changes of menopause with local estrogen. Booking runs through the group's own online scheduler, which lists her by name and shows her as accepting new patients.
