About Washington Women's Health & Complex Gynecology

Jennifer Lanoff is the only clinician at washGYN, a small Washington practice she runs for menopause, perimenopause and complex gynecology. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone using FDA approved products, and offers non-hormonal options such as fezolinetant, SSRIs, gabapentin and oxybutynin for hot flashes. Visits run long on purpose, and every new patient fills in a medical history questionnaire first so the office can pick the right length of visit. She spent more than two decades as a lawyer, including a stretch as a Deputy Trial Chief at the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, before training in nursing at Johns Hopkins and Georgetown. Many of her patients arrive with overlapping conditions such as endometriosis, POTS, MCAS and Ehlers-Danlos, and the partner surgical practice sends its non-surgical cases to her. She is the only clinician here who can be booked online, and she also sees established patients by video in six states.
