An Exam Room and a Wellness Sanctuary — All in One Place

In this episode, we sit down with sisters Dr. Bahar and Dr. Maral Malikzaka, founders of Advanced Women’s Health & Surgery and The Well in Westlake, Ohio who are transforming the typical gynecology visit into a calm, connected, whole-body experience. We share a story every woman can relate to: feeling rushed, dismissed, or left with more questions than answers after a doctor’s appointment. 

We can’t stop talking about:
  • Their comforting, aesthetic environment — and why thoughtful design, from the lighting to the bathrooms, raises the bar.
  • Why a practice that offers gynecology, hormone therapy, and aesthetics all under one roof helps women care for their bodies and their minds.
  • Why postpartum care and holistic follow-up matter so much more than a single 6-week check-in for new moms. 
  • The importance of seeing a doctor who listens, educates, and advocates — and how not to settle until you find one who does.
