About Associates for Women's Medicine
Associates for Women's Medicine is an obstetrics and gynecology group with sixteen clinicians and three offices around Syracuse. Dr. Auerbach joined in 2013 and is a partner and owner, and she chairs obstetrics and gynecology at St. Joseph's Hospital. Her own page says her practice is now limited to gynecology with a focus on perimenopausal and menopausal women, and on minimally invasive surgery. She performs both robotic and laparoscopic operations, and the group has its own accredited surgical suite in Fayetteville plus an in-house laboratory. Each provider has a personal video visit link on the website, so a telehealth appointment goes straight to her own virtual room. The group's menopause page explains hormone therapy and non-hormonal options as general background rather than saying what the practice itself prescribes.
