About Life Steps Healthcare, LLP
Lee Ellen Morrone is one of two doctors at this Upper East Side practice, alongside Karen Kirsch, and the two have worked together for more than 25 years. The gynecology side covers perimenopause and menopause evaluation and management, along with hormone replacement therapy including bioidentical hormone therapy. Morrone is the surgeon of the pair, and the practice singles out precision in gynecologic surgery. This is still a full obstetric practice, so the same two doctors who handle midlife care also deliver babies and cover their own patients around the clock. Visits are long by design, with 45 minutes set aside for an annual and up to 90 minutes for a first visit. Both doctors are certified in MonaLisa Touch.
