About Us

Women's Medical Group of Irvine (WMGI), founded by Dr. Felice L. Gersh in 1981, is dedicated to caring for the health and wellbeing of the whole woman. This means providing the finest medical services at all times - from routine exams to the most advanced surgical procedures. It also means being deeply concerned about the other aspects of life that contribute to your sense of physical and emotional satisfaction.

At WMGI, we provide a wide array of services for women of all ages. Our comprehensive care includes all aspects of psychological healthcare, gynecological care, family practice, internal medicine, endocrinology, and skincare - both medical and cosmetic. We incorporate a multi-modality approach, utilizing all appropriate therapies. These include pharmaceutical measures, psychological counseling, food supplements, herbs, acupuncture, physical therapy, yoga, and other forms of exercise. We work as a team, with you as the focused center, united in our coordinated efforts to keep you at your absolute healthiest.

In our quest to continually improve, we have now established several distinct programs, designed to augment the excellent quality of care we have always provided:

Adolescent Health Care Program
We specialize in addressing the unique needs and concerns of teenage girls with both understanding and attentiveness.

Chronic Pelvic Pain / Bladder Pain / Vulvodynia
We address the needs of a large segment of women whose concerns have been poorly appreciated in the past and whose treatment has largely been neglected. Their diverse problems are now finally better understood and can be satisfactorily treated, often with surprisingly positive results.

Female Sexual Health
We deal with the multifaceted nature of female sexuality, treating each woman in the context of her stage of life and her existing relationships. Hormones, devices, medications, and counseling are all utilized, with our goal being that sexuality becomes a comfortable and satisfying life component.

Menopausal Health Program
Traveling into and through menopause is a journey all women must take, and we have the knowledge and tools to lessen the emotional and physical effects. Complementary health care and bio-identical hormones are always discussed and utilized whenever appropriate.

WeightSmart Weight Loss Program
Our experts have created a unique and personal program to help you alter your approach to nutrition and exercise, enabling you to live a longer and happier life.

Healthy Hearts Program
Heart attack is the number one killer of women, and we want all of our patients to enjoy the best cardiovascular health possible. We will order all appropriate testing and provide detailed education in order to evaluate and maintain the health of your heart.

Sleep Disturbances / Mood Disorder / Headache / Fibromyalgia Program
Recognizing and treating the intertwined nature of all of these medical conditions is our mission. Whether you have one or all of the above issues, we will provide you with state-of- the-art medical care in an integrated manner, incorporating, as indicated, appropriate pharmaceuticals, acupuncture, yoga, physical therapy, and psychological counseling.
