About Women for Women OB/GYN

Women for Women OB/GYN is an all-female Long Island practice of six board certified OB/GYN physicians and one nurse midwife, and it belongs to Northwell Health Physician Partners. Dr. Duncan has been in private practice there since 2000 and is the only clinician in the group who works in integrative and functional medicine. She runs a Personalized Wellness Consultation that the practice puts under her name alone, and the request form for it offers no other provider. That visit is a 60 minute first appointment followed by a 30 minute review two to four weeks later, and she answers patients through the portal between visits. Her management plans combine conventional treatment with nutrition, natural hormones, botanicals and nutraceuticals, and menopause symptoms come first in the list of conditions she handles that way. The group also performs office and hospital gynecologic surgery at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and the Botox and filler work belongs to its nurse practitioner rather than to her.
