About Elena Buruiana, MD OBGYN
Dr. Buruiana has run her own solo practice in a midtown Manhattan medical building since 2001. She is board certified in both internal medicine and obstetrics and gynecology, and she uses that primary care training to look at a patient's whole health rather than one complaint. Her stated approach to menopause is to treat it as a moment to prevent later disease, so prevention of bone loss and heart disease sits alongside symptom care. The office is an accredited advanced sonography center and runs its own gynecologic ultrasound, saline infusion sonography and office hysteroscopy on site. New patients complete a long health questionnaire before the first visit and are asked to allow two hours for it. Her site describes her menopause care at length but never names a hormone or any other medicine she prescribes.
