About Upper East Side Gynecology

Upper East Side Gynecology is a two physician practice on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and Dr. Wells built it at this address in 2005. The services page lists management of menopause among its office gynecology, but the site names no hormone treatment anywhere, so what is prescribed for menopause is not published. Most of the published detail is procedural. The office does LEEP, colposcopy, biopsies, diagnostic hysteroscopy and IUD insertion on site, and laparoscopic and vaginal surgery is done at Mount Sinai Medical Center. Dr. Wells and the other physician here trained together in residency at Mount Sinai in 2001, and both still teach residents and medical students. New patients register and sign their forms on the practice portal before the first visit, and that portal is also how patients message the doctors directly.
