Hi, I’m Dr Siân West
I’m a board-certified OB/GYN with a passion for perimenopause and menopause care, because frankly, women are some of the most gaslit patients in medicine. Their symptoms are minimized, their concerns dismissed, and in that silence, misinformation and snake oil rush in to fill the gap. Women deserve better.
My commitment to this work isn’t just professional, it’s personal. During my own high-risk IVF pregnancy, I experienced firsthand what it feels like to be brushed aside. And if I, with my training and credentials, could feel dismissed and unheard, what must it feel like for everyone else? That moment changed how I practice. It clarified my mission: to be the physician who listens, validates, and empowers women through every stage of midlife and beyond.
I also grew up in an anti-western medicine household, so I understand why “alternative truths” can feel appealing when the healthcare system has failed you. But here’s the reality: science is dispassionate. It doesn’t care what we wish were true, it cares what’s proven. And when the science evolves, we evolve with it.
My job is not to dictate, it’s to bring you accurate, evidence-based options, explain the risks and benefits in plain language, and support you in choosing what fits your goals and values. Because at the end of the day, it’s your body, and it should be your choice.
