Navigating the Clinical Component

Patient Population

The practice serves a discerning Beverly Hills patient base, including executives, public figures, and patients who place a premium on time, autonomy, and physician-led care. Dr. Wu has built this panel over 20 years through personal attention, direct follow-up calls, and relationship-based medicine. The same standard of care applies across the entire practice.

Patients expect direct physician access, longer visits, and continuity. You will see your own patients, return your own calls, and develop direct relationships with the people on your panel.

Care Model

The practice operates on a framework it calls Signature Pathways. These are structured clinical programs built around patient goals such as hormone optimization, longevity, and preventive health. Patients opt in based on their goals, and the pathway sets the cadence of labs, imaging, follow-up visits, and any additional services.

This is not a concierge or membership model. The practice does not charge an annual fee for access. Patients pay per service, with pathway pricing reflecting the depth of clinical work involved.

As the founding gynecologist, you will help design and lead pathways within the women's health line.

Clinical Services

Your day-to-day clinical work will include:

  • Comprehensive gynecologic care for midlife and adult women
  • Perimenopause and menopause evaluation and management
  • Hormone therapy, including bioidentical and traditional options
  • Sexual health and pelvic wellness consults
  • Preventive screening and risk reduction
  • Elective in-office procedures aligned with your scope and clinical judgment

The practice has not pre-purchased equipment for the gynecology line. Dr. Wu prefers the incoming gynecologist to advise on procedure offerings and equipment selection rather than inherit a fixed setup.

EMR and Technology

The practice uses a proprietary EMR built in-house and integrated with the patient portal and CRM. Documentation is supported by an AI scribe to reduce charting time. Highlights include:

  • Single-click patient login without separate username and password
  • HIPAA-compliant cloud architecture
  • Integrated lab and imaging results, including outside labs
  • Connected patient communication, scheduling, and care plans
  • AI scribe support for clinical documentation

Comfort with technology is welcome but not required. The platform is designed to reduce administrative friction so clinical time stays focused on patient care.

Clinical Support

The practice runs a high-support staffing model. At launch, the team supporting clinical operations will include:

  • Approximately 1.3 medical assistants per physician, with a floater always available
  • Patient advocates handling front-of-house and intake
  • Sales coordinators dedicated to elective procedure consultations and pricing
  • No APPs, NPs, or midwives at the practice; the physician sees all patients

You will not be responsible for payroll, HR, billing, or back-office administration. These functions are handled centrally.

Subspecialty and Program Development

This role suits a physician who wants to build out a women's health service line rather than join one already established. Areas where you can establish focus include:

  • Menopause and perimenopause clinical track
  • Hormone optimization and replacement therapy
  • Longevity and preventive medicine integration
  • Sexual health and pelvic wellness
  • Pathway design for women's health referrals from the existing dermatology panel

Teaching and Research

The practice actively supports academic engagement. Dr. Wu teaches at USC and lectures nationally and internationally. Opportunities available to you include:

  • Speaking at medical and longevity conferences
  • Clinical trials and research participation
  • Academic affiliations with regional institutions
  • Media, podcast, and publication opportunities tied to practice initiatives

These activities are encouraged and supported as part of practice growth.
