Aakriti R. Carrubba, M.D.

My name is Aakriti Carrubba, and I'm one of the senior Associate Consultants in the Department of Medical and Surgical Gynecology. Women's health is very important and encompasses a lot of different aspects, from contraceptive counseling to management of periods to fertility care, to menopause. There are so many different components. And it's really important to have providers that are able to address those needs for the patient depending on where she is in her stage of life. So I see a lot of patients that have pelvic pain. That's a large component of my practice. And the most rewarding patient encounters are when you see improvement in quality of life. And that is done via multimodal approaches. And we're very fortunate here at Mayo Clinic to have access to physical therapy and to other services that can really provide comprehensive care. As a gynecologist, I can see patients based on their needs. But if they need to have imaging that can be done here in our radiology department, I can refer patients to the Women's Health Clinic for hormone therapy or menopause management. And we have access to multiple other specialists who are excellent in their fields. And we all work together to come up with a plan to take care of our patients.
