Dorothy Adler, APRN, WHNP-BC

A lifelong passion for women’s health: "I became a registered nurse in 1981 and a nurse practitioner in 1991. I’ve spent my career caring for women throughout the lifespan. I’ve always had a particular interest in perimenopause and menopause, and that passion is what brought me to Midi."

Listening comes first: "One of the things I enjoy most about caring for women in midlife is hearing their stories. I want to understand not just their symptoms, but how those symptoms are affecting their lives. Listening closely helps me see the whole picture and develop a treatment plan that truly fits each woman."

Helping women feel better: "I remember a patient who came to me struggling with severe perimenopausal symptoms. After starting treatment, she returned feeling so much better and was incredibly thankful. Seeing that change was incredibly rewarding and reminded me why this work matters so much to me."

Treating the whole person: "My philosophy is simple: treat the whole person. I want every woman to feel heard, understood, and comfortable sharing her full story with me. My goal is to use everything she tells me to create a thoughtful treatment plan and help her find relief."

A little about me: "I live in New York, about an hour north of New York City, and I have two grown children who are out of the house. Outside of work, I enjoy taking walks by the river and I love baseball. Let’s go Mets!"
