Gynecological care for every phase of life.
Lamorinda Gynecology and Surgery is a private, physician-led medical practice with a patient-centered, holistic approach to health. Under the care of physicians Dr. Cheruba Prabakar and Dr. Lee Christianson, we offer a range of gynecological services including:
Diagnosis and treatment for fibroids, ovarian cysts, infertility, heavy or irregular bleeding, vaginal infection, pelvic pain, prolapse, endometriosis, and more
Menopause care and bioidentical hormone therapy
Fertility care through the management of polyps, fibroids, and endometriosis to reach your family planning goals (*We do not provide pregnancy care or deliver babies)
Advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgery, including myomectomy (Fibroid removal), hysterectomy (uterus removal), resection of endometriosis, and ovarian cystectomies
Annual exams and pap smears
We are an out-of-service healthcare provider and do not accept insurance, although most of our patients are eligible for reimbursements through their healthcare plans (see our FAQ). Come in for a single appointment or consultation to target a specific issue, or enjoy year-round medical care through our all-inclusive member services.
What makes Lamorinda Gynecology & Surgery different?
1. No long waits for appointments—we’re here when you need us.
Instead of waiting months for an appointment at a high-volume hospital that sees thousands of patients a week, you can see us for same-day or same-week appointments, getting the care and information you need right away before a problem can get worse.
2. Longer appointments for in-depth answers.
With appointments up to an hour long, we take things at your pace and discuss ongoing health concerns, test results, medications, and preventative care in detail. No more leaving the doctor’s office feeling rushed and confused.
3. See the same physician regularly for personal, continuous care.
At large-volume hospitals, it can feel like you’re starting from scratch every time you have an appointment: re-explaining the same symptoms and health history to doctors see hundreds of patients, or being exhaustingly shuttled from specialist to specialist. We’re here to build a personal relationship with each of our patients. Because our practice sees a smaller number of patients, we’re able to truly get to know you and your health. You can receive all your gynecological care—including surgical care, hormone therapy, and lifestyle medicine, and preventative care—under the direction of one physician.

“Dr. Prabakar and Dr. Christianson both provide such excellent, personalized care that it's worth going out of network. They were able to help me treat and diagnose an issue that several other physicians were unable to figure out, by looking at my health holistically. Highly recommend.”
Alicia
“Dr. Prabakar is one of the best physicians I have ever been treated by. She spends all the time needed to understand & treat the whole patient. She explains things thoroughly, is diligent about follow up, and is extremely proactive about research and referrals to other specialists as needed. Her staff is knowledgeable & wonderful to work with; they are highly professional and will dig into issues on prescriptions, insurance, etc. I wish all doctors were like this!”

“I had a consultation with Dr. Christianson, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and thorough experience…The entire staff has also been incredibly kind, supportive, and accommodating. They truly understand the urgency and sensitivity that comes with managing chronic pain. They’ve been so helpful in guiding me through the next steps, including scheduling treatment and surgery. I’m grateful to be in such capable and caring hands.”

“Amazing care! I’ve had some bad experiences with gynecologist that are part of larger medical groups, and seeing Dr. Christianson was such a relief. I was able to be seen the same week I called for an appointment, and within two weeks had a pelvic ultrasound and colposcopy appointment done. Dr. Christianson explained the process to me and helped me feel comfortable before it was done and throughout it. It was painless and quick. She really takes the time to listen fully to any concerns or questions I had and took her time to explain anything I asked. I felt very cared for, safe, and in very good hands.”

“I am so grateful to have found Dr. Prabakar! From the moment I first met her, I was impressed by her professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. She took the time to listen to my concerns and addressed all of my questions with patience and understanding. Her expertise and thoughtful treatment made a significant difference with my post-menopause symptoms… Highly recommend her and her team to anyone seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable gynecologist!”

“I’m not joking when I say I didn’t think I’d find a doctor like this again... I’m so grateful that the internet led me to Dr Prabakar. Super fast appointment scheduling, the office doesn’t feel clinical, the team is top notch, no running behind. Then you meet Dr. Prabakar, and you get it. You instantly feel how much she loves her work… It was a phenomenal visit, and I hope that more women do themselves the favor and experience Dr Prabakar and her team for themselves.”
