Compassionate sexual and reproductive healthcare
Since the Pap test was introduced in the 1950s, cervical cancer deaths have decreased 74%.
Our gynecologists recognize how sex-specific differences extend beyond your reproductive organs. From puberty to menopause, we consider many aspects of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of your health through the hormonal state in which you are currently existing — natural cycle, synthetic hormones for contraception, pregnancy, or a period of hormonal deprivation such as postpartum or menopause. We know that these hormonal states influence metabolism, brain signaling, immune function, and DNA repair, as well as mood and mental health.
At Tia, you won't get the typical one-size-fits-all approach. With a focus on lifestyle and evidence-based wellness, we take a “root cause” approach to everything from acne to irregular cycles, equipping you with a Care Plan to get and keep you feeling your best.
Care at Tia is relationship-based and integrated which means everyone is in sync. You get a collaborative Care Team that works together to manage your health so there's no repeating yourself 100x or receiving conflicting advice. Working as a unit, our providers are trained to connect dots and address your health comprehensively, accounting for everything that makes you *you* — nuances, complexity, and interconnectedness.
And you can use insurance for gynecology appointments at Tia — both virtually and in person. Learn more about using insurance here.
Nope! You can use Tia for your gynecology and primary care needs. It’s hard enough to get to one doctor’s office! Why should we have to juggle 2+ doctors, locations, health records, etc.? From IUDs to strep throat, a colposcopy to diagnosing a thyroid disorder, we've got you covered. Please note that Tia is a "specialist," which could affect your copay depending on your plan. To find out if you have a different copay at a primary care provider vs. specialist office, check the back of your insurance card!
Yes, through our annual Whole Health Exam!
We fuse your gynecology and primary care check-ups (& more!) into a singular, cohesive experience that’s personalized, actionable, and convenient. We intentionally separate your virtual health assessment from your in-person exams and services (delivered at the clinic) so that you get more 1:1 time with your provider, plus additional opportunities for check-ins throughout the year to evaluate and tweak your Care Plan.
As long as you have not had an annual exam or gynecological exam in the past year (we do it all in your Whole Health Exam!) your in-clinic part 2 should be 100% covered by in-network insurance. We accept in-network insurance for part 1 and 3 but you may be responsible for a copay or coinsurance depending on your plan. We always recommend checking with your health plan before booking.

You can come to Tia for a fertility “workup,” which typically includes a blood test, ultrasound and personalized counseling to support your reproductive planning, but we do not provide speciality services such as egg freezing or IVF. If you want or need speciality fertility care, Tia’s Care Team makes referrals to high quality fertility specialists, just like any other referral. When it comes to the pregnancy journey, you can turn to Tia for prenatal and postpartum care (and support services like acupuncture & mental health), but we do not provide obstetrical care. At the point of pregnancy confirmation, we’ll make a referral to a high quality OB who can support your pregnancy journey through delivery.
Tia provides medication abortion as allowed by law. Today, we provide medication abortion via a virtual visit in New York and California. Depending on a patient’s needs, we can provide education and counseling covering any and all options – including parenting, adoption, and pregnancy termination – and offer mental health support (if needed) and well-coordinated care with other trusted, high-quality providers for services we do not provide ourselves.
All-options counseling is a private, non-coercive consultation with a licensed Tia clinician about your full suite of options following a positive pregnancy test — parenting, adoption, and termination. We vet and train every member of our Care Team from our Doctors and Nurse Practitioners to Sonographers and Mental Health Therapists to ensure that counseling is objective, compassionate and always inclusive of “all-options” equally — without coercion or limitation in the context of your legal rights in a given state. Tia will never, ever make a decision for you. Instead, we serve to help all of our patients make independent and informed decisions for themselves.
Tia provides medication abortion where and how it is allowed by law. Today, we provide medication abortion via a virtual visit in New York and California. Depending on a patient’s needs, we can provide education and counseling covering any and all options – including parenting, adoption, and pregnancy termination – and offer mental health support (if needed) and well-coordinated care with other trusted, high-quality providers for services we do not provide ourselves.
Our intent is to provide the broadest range of primary care services possible, with the recognition that how that care is delivered may vary depending on local and state regulations, specialty care clinics and referral partners, and other local conditions.
Yes, but the scope of our clinical practice is limited.. Tia is open to any person — regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation. Clinically, Tia’s expertise currently lies in sex-specific care for people assigned female at birth. At this time, we aren’t experts in certain sex-specific care (like hormone replacement therapy). Committed to quality above all else, Tia’s Care Team will refer you to a speciality provider if your needs fall outside the scope of our clinical expertise. You can read more about Tia’s approach to diversity, equity and inclusion here.
Tia is for all people. We aim to cultivate a community that's inclusive, respective, and celebratory of all sexes and genders. Our core competency today lies in providing health information and care to people assigned female at birth. However, many of our providers have experience and training in providing comprehensive care for people of various genders, including gender-affirming care and hormone replacement therapy. If you're looking for gender-affirming care, Tia's care coordination team\ can ensure you're matched with a clinician with this training and expertise.
