About Elite GYN Care of the Palm Beaches

Maureen Whelihan directs this gynecology and sexual medicine practice in Greenacres and has been in Palm Beach County since 1997. Three nurse practitioners and physician assistants cover well visits and routine gynecology, so her own time goes to hormone therapy, sexual dysfunction, painful sex and transgender hormone management. The practice describes hormone treatment as estradiol and progesterone prescribed in creams, patches or gels, after a history, an exam and sometimes lab testing. She also runs a Center for Sexual Health and Education that sees men and couples as well as women, and she wrote a book about what women really say about sex that is sold signed in her office. The office opens early four days a week and keeps slots for same day appointments. Urinary leaking is treated in the office by the practice nurse with pelvic floor therapy over six to eight weeks.
