About Aurora Gonzalez, M.D. & Associates

Aurora Gonzalez founded this six physician OB-GYN group and has been in private group practice in Houston since 2000. The group runs two offices, one in the Texas Medical Center and one in Pearland, and menopause care sits inside general gynecology here rather than in a hormone program of its own. The practice says it was the first in the southern United States to offer the MonaLisa Touch, an in office CO2 laser for vaginal dryness and pain after menopause, done as three short treatments six weeks apart. A lot gets handled in the office rather than an operating room, including an eight minute endometrial ablation for heavy bleeding. Dr. Gonzalez names female incontinence and vaginal prolapse as her own interests, and she is fluent in Spanish, as are the practice's intake and consent forms. The site's own menopause FAQ is cautious about hormone therapy and suggests six months to two years of it rather than long term use.
