About Women's Institute for Specialized Health (W.I.S.H.)
Gisele Thissen runs WISH on her own as a fully virtual practice, so every visit happens by video and there is no office to walk into. Every new patient starts with the same long one-on-one assessment, which runs about an hour and covers symptoms, history, medications and previous treatment before anything is decided. She prescribes hormone therapy and women's testosterone where it fits the history, and she treats thyroid problems, metabolic and weight concerns, and sexual health complaints alongside the menopause transition. After the assessment she recommends either a six month course of care called Reclaim or a twelve month concierge year, and neither is required. She spent over a decade as a bedside nurse in obstetrics before moving into private practice, and she sees patients in Spanish as well as English. When an exam, imaging or a specialist is needed she helps arrange it locally and brings the findings back into the plan.
