What do you look for when selecting a personal doctor? Years of experience? Hospital affiliation? Expertise and specialty? Martha's latest guest began her journey into medicine as a young student with a passion for science, biology, and the deep desire to impact the lives of others. With more than 40 years in practice and medical research, Dr. Caren Behar is changing the way women look at health and wellness. As a general internist and the medical director of the Joan Tisch Center for Women's Health, Dr. Behar treats a wide variety of conditions, with a focus on preventive care and health maintenance. She caters to the unique needs of women, consolidating annual medical and GYN exams, mammograms, bone density, medical subspecialties, women's orthopedics, dermatology, and cancer risk, all in one place. In this podcast, Dr. Behar talks to Martha about her approach to women's care, the latest advice on women's imaging and testing, the importance of mental health, and what she wishes all her female patients to know as they enter their later years. Be sure to listen.
