“Very happy with Sklar Center results”
I came here for help with vaginal dryness and sexual aging, primarily, but was also concerned with a general feeling of cognitive decline, lack of focus, low energy and dark moods (hard to be happy with such worries). Dr. Sklar's in-depth evaluation and continuing care, for the past 4 years, have made a huge difference in my life. I feel younger in all ways, more confident in my mental state, even sexier. I now look forward to a future that I once feared.

“I feel great!”
I have my health back, thanks to Dr. Sklar. I came to her with what felt like a hundred symptoms. She worked with me until all of them were resolved. I have never had a doctor who took such a detailed history and spent so much time with me. I lost all the extra weight that was bothering me, no more hot flashes, and my increased energy lets me live my life the way I want to. I feel so blessed to have her in my life. The chances of finding a doctor like her are one in a zillion!

“Very Helpful!”
I came to Dr. Sklar during a very stressful time in my life. I was feeling depressed, depleted and anxious. I now have the peace of mind knowing that my physical health is being treated and cared for in spite of the emotional upheaval in my life. Overall I have much more energy and feel stronger and better equipped to face life's challenges. Thank you Dr Sklar!

“Disappointing”
The "free" consultation was actually a lecture explaining how good she was. I had fully intended to enter her program in spite of her fee of $4,000 a year, which I considered fair until, after having taken the very extensive blood tests she required, I received a call from her office demanding $950 before I could make second appointment.

“Always available to answer questions and make recommendations”
I have been going to Dr. Sklar for many years, both when she was my GYN and as the female wellness doctor. I am very comfortable with her recommendations

“Changed my life for the better.”
Dr. Sklar diagnosed and treated my health problems when my primary care physicians simply attributed my problems to my age. She made me feel important and I always felt that she gave me all the time and attention I needed in each appointment. I have more energy and stamina, I sleep better, and my skin has improved.
