About Newport Beach OB/GYN Medical Group, Inc.
Newport Beach OB/GYN Medical Group is a two physician practice on Hospital Road next to Hoag Hospital, where Dr. Ricci has been affiliated for more than seventeen years. She trained at Chicago Medical School and did her residency in Chicago, and her bio says she has provided prenatal care for over 5,000 babies. Most of her work is obstetrics, high risk pregnancy and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, and the practice menopause page is written around her by name. That page treats hormone replacement therapy as the option for severe symptoms rather than the starting point, and estrogen is given as a pill, patch, gel or spray. For the vaginal dryness and tissue changes that follow menopause the office also runs a fractional CO2 laser program, usually three or four sessions with annual maintenance after that. Three physician assistants see patients alongside the two doctors, and there is an optional hybrid concierge tier with direct phone and text access and limited enrollment.
