I am Dr. Cheruba Prabakar, a board certified OBGYN and fellowship trained minimally invasive surgeon. I am the founder and medical director of Lamorinda Gynecology & Surgery.
I traded the long wait times and short appointments of large health systems to build something better for myself and for the women I serve. You are not treated like a number here, but will rather find personalized, unhurried care that’s so hard to find these days.
At Lamorinda Gynecology & Surgery, women get my full attention, top-notch surgical expertise, and thoughtful guidance through every phase of life. Whether it is navigating fibroids, endometriosis, menopause, or just needing a space where your concerns are truly heard, this is the kind of care I believe every woman deserves. No crowded waiting rooms. No cookie-cutter medicine. Just modern gynecology with a deeply personal touch.
mission statement
To provide longitudinal medical and surgical care from menarche to menopause and beyond in a personalized, accessible, and sustainable way.
social impact
I grew up in a small town in South India and was raised there for the first 12 years of my life. I have seen firsthand the many injustices women have had to endure throughout their lives. A portion of all proceeds from this practice will go toward educating young girls in South India so they can grow up with a voice.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Dr. Prabakar has been a godsend! I am so thankful that my primary care sent me there when I needed a referral. She listened to my concerns and really heard me. You could tell she was hearing me. It's so hard to get MDs to listen to reproductive concerns. Instead of throwing pain medications at me, she sent me for diagnostic testing and gave me my options. She really took the time to go over everything. She even has a YouTube page that helped me understand what I was going through.
No only is she a great practitioner, but she is also an amazing surgeon. I had one small procedure and two bigger ones with her and each time, she took great care of me. She checked in with me throughout my healing processes before my first post-op appts. Her office staff are also very personable and her assistant was on top of everything when scheduling my procedures and work documentation. Just awesome from the beginning to the end.
If you're looking for someone who is very professional and also caring, make an appointment with her. You will not be disappointed!”
