About

At Lamorinda Gynecology & Surgery, two fellowship-trained surgeons deliver boutique gynecologic care in Lafayette, CA. Dr. Cheruba Prabakar founded the practice in October 2022. Dr. Lee Christianson joined as the second physician. Together, they focus on gynecology, surgical gynecology, menopause, and sexual medicine — with no obstetrics.

The practice operates on a Direct Specialty Care model. Patients pay directly and submit claims to their PPO for reimbursement. Both physicians perform complex minimally invasive and robotic surgery on the da Vinci platform. Appointments run 30 to 45 minutes, same-day and same-week visits are available, and surgeries schedule within two to three weeks. The practice also offers a Menopause Mastery Membership at $5,200 per year, covering physician-led hormone therapy, GLP-1 weight optimization, metabolic health support, lab monitoring, and direct physician messaging.
