The quest to learn and serve women
has taken Dr. Sudabeh Moein to
many places and shown her many
things. The quest began with her
childhood in Iran where many oppor-
tunities for education and advance-
ment were denied to women. Subse-
quently, Dr. Moein left her homeland
and journeyed to the United States
to gain an education, making her
way through and learning about
women in Pakistan, Portugal, and
Spain before reaching her destina-
tion. And still Dr. Moein journeys,
serving women, with regular trips to
India to observe and learn, to treat
and to train.
What drives Dr. Moein?. “I love to
learn,” she says, “and my passion
is to serve women by empowering
them with the knowledge they need
to live a healthier life.” Dr. Moein
never stops learning and never stops
teaching: to date she has given over
50 community health lectures to the
women of San Diego in furthering
her passion for service. As stated by
Judith Habert, Publisher and Editor-
in-Chief of San Diego Woman,

"We are honored at San Diego Woman to have Dr. Moein as our
Chief Medical Consultant and as an esteemed member of our
Board of Advisors"
Dr. Moein received her training at Chicago Medical School and
specialized training at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. However,
once she embarked on a private practice, she realized that she
still hadn’t acquired all of the tools she needed to meet her female
patients’ needs in San Diego.

Dr. Moein began researching new technologies and alternative
treatments to better address women’s health needs. Two new, and
seemingly incompatible, directions caught her attention: robotic
surgery, one of the most advanced techniques of modern medi-
cine; and integrative and holistic medicine, which reaches back to
include ancient and non-traditional approaches to wellness.
One of the newest and most exciting breakthroughs in women’s
health is the development of robotic surgery. Robotics allows
surgeons to perform complex surgeries in a way that is minimally
invasive, allowing for quicker healing and better results.
