Dr. Harper has an understanding of the symptoms and concerns that women face as she herself is one of six sisters and has a grown up daughter. Her areas of expertise include Perimenopause and Menopause, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Premenstrual Stress disorder, Healthy Aging and Weight Management. She believes in the early management of symptoms to stay youthful and healthy.
