About WHASN Sunset Valley

Luanna Durden is an advanced practice nurse at WHASN Sunset Valley, a four provider obstetrics and gynecology office in southwest Las Vegas that one of its OB-GYNs founded in 2013. She sees women across the whole span of care, from pregnancy and contraception through the menopause transition and the years after it. Her graduate training was in midwifery and women's health, and she spent ten years as a midwife in Reading, Pennsylvania, where she mentored OB-GYN residents and interviewed medical students for the residency program. She came home to Las Vegas in 2021 and now works in the clinic rather than on labor and delivery. The practice lists menopause care among the things it provides and treats menopause symptoms with hormone therapy. The office runs a four day week and is closed on Fridays, and new patients fill in the group's paperwork before the first visit.
