About Doctor Terlinsky

Hello, and welcome to womenshealthdoc.com. My name is Dr. Terlinsky, and I will begin by providing you with some information about my background, medical practice and goals.

After practicing general medicine in Northern Virginia for over 25 years, (Internal Medicine, 1976, Georgetown Univ.) the scope of our practice has shifted gradually - keeping in pace with the emerging health issues of our maturing population. In addition, some of the most challenging and rewarding work we now do involves women's health (for all ages).

Over the years continuing education has remained high priority here, and I have expanded our practice's "umbrella of care" with specializations in nephrology, clinical hypertension, and bariatric care. These studies coalesced in the development of Nu-Living Weight Management - my individualized program for the treatment of obese and overweight patients (both sexes).

More recently, I widened our focus to include the full range of women's health issues. Why? There have been many reasons, but one of the major influences was the WHI (Woman's Health Initiative) findings. These studies opened my eyes to the massive new uncertainties women suddenly find themselves facing. It became evident that I needn't look any further for a major health concern that would challenge my best efforts.

In order to obtain the most up-to-date and effective treatment techniques, I spent the previous year studying the field, including direct instruction by noted researchers Drs. Diane Schwarzbien and Erika Schwartz. I also delved deeply into functional medicine and the expertise of Dr. Teitelbaum, the Institute of Functional Medicine, and many others.

As a result, my own programs uniquely access the most effective methods currently proven for hormone testing, evaluation, bio-identical hormone replacement, and balancing. They combine functional medicine's concepts of wellness optimization, debilitatative-disease prevention through nutritional and hormonal supplementation, bio-identical hormone replacement and balancing, and other proven methods - to provide effective treatment for the gamut of health concerns facing women today.
