Women’s Health Expertise Led by Dr. Shirin Peters
Women’s health is a cornerstone of care at Bethany Medical Clinic. Under the leadership of Dr. Shirin Peters, our practice is committed to helping women navigate their health with confidence through every stage of life.
Dr. Peters has spent more than two decades caring for New Yorkers and understands the unique challenges many women face balancing demanding careers, family responsibilities, stress, and their own health needs. She is particularly passionate about preventive care and helping patients identify underlying causes of symptoms that are often dismissed as simply “part of getting older” or “just stress.”
Many women seek care for concerns such as:
- Fatigue and low energy
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Weight changes
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Thyroid disorders
- Anxiety and mood changes
- Perimenopause and menopause symptoms
- Irregular menstrual cycles
Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, our providers take a comprehensive approach that looks at the full picture of a patient’s health. Through preventive screenings, laboratory evaluations, lifestyle counseling, and individualized treatment plans, we help women better understand their bodies and make informed decisions about their care.
Our goal is to create a supportive healthcare experience where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to prioritize their long-term wellness.
Pap Smears and Preventive Screenings
Regular preventive screenings are an important part of maintaining long-term health.
A Pap smear is a simple screening test used to detect abnormal cervical cells that could potentially lead to cervical cancer if left untreated. Early detection allows for timely monitoring and treatment when necessary.
Our providers strive to make Pap smear appointments as comfortable and stress-free as possible while ensuring patients understand the purpose of screening and recommended follow-up care.
We also help patients stay current with age-appropriate preventive screenings based on their medical history and individual risk factors.

Perimenopause and Menopause Support
