Unrushed, evidence-informed care with clear plans you can act on.

Bio

After residency, Dr Varkey spent 8 years with Cedars Sinai Medical Group before she finally started her own private practice over 12 years ago. In total, she has been practicing as an Ob/Gyn for over 20 years. During this time she has maintained close ties with the Department of Ob/Gyn at Cedars Sinai Medical Center by serving on the Performance Improvement Committee for the 8 years. She was most recently treasurer of the Department of Ob/Gyn and served on the hospital’s Continuing Medical Education Committee for over 6 years. She works hard to stay up to date with current medical practices by attending weekly conferences both at the hospital and around the country. She renews her board certification yearly with the American Board of OB/Gyn and remains an active member of the American College of Ob/Gyn. She is currently also a Certified Menopause Practitioner. She independently studies and eagerly investigates any topic that will help her solve a particularly difficult patient case. Lastly, she works closely with the residents at Cedars Sinai as an Attending Physician and in her capacity as Volunteer Teaching Faculty with the department. The residents keep her “on her toes” and are a wonderful part of her clinical life and the medical community at Cedars.

Dr Varkey is married and is also a mother herself. She has two adult daughters and a dog – Maggie – who keeps her company now that her girls are gone!
