Born in the UK, Selma Rashid, M.D., completed her medical degree and training in Chicago, Illinois. Now an acknowledged global expert on hormone replacement therapy, she is the author of the book, Hormones Explained. Dr. Rashid is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and works as a Hospitalist. She is also the Medical Director of Anti-Aging Medical Group in the San Jose, Bay Area California.
From the beginning of Dr. Selma Rashid’s career, she has been particularly interested in true preventive medicine. While she enjoys taking care of patients in the acute care hospital setting, she derives the greatest satisfaction in restoring the health and functionality lost during menopause and andropause. She has spent over twenty years learning and understanding the aging process and the profound effects of hormones.
Santa Clara County Hormone Specialist, Selma Rashid, M.D., has confronted the myths and misinformation surrounding hormone replacement therapy ever since the initial results of the WHI Study in 2002. Dr. Rashid prides herself in having designed her Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy with the highest standards of safety and effectiveness in mind, while remaining affordable and easy for patients to follow. Her greatest frustration is the blatant lack of interest and concern by the medical industry in preventing the predictable and avoidable age-related diseases.
Dr. Selma Rashid’s greatest satisfaction is not only providing the highest quality bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to men and women, but also educating them in this field so they are able to make the best choice for themselves.
“When you go through menopause, it can be a challenge. I had hot flashes, I was waking up in the middle of the night sweating, and I started gaining weight. I kept thinking, “What is going on?” After starting my hormone treatment with Dr. Selma, she changed my life. I would absolutely recommend BHRT to others.”
“I’ve been using the bioidentical hormones for six months now. I’ve noticed a definite improvement in my libido and my hot flashes have stopped. I’m sleeping through the night and no longer experiencing drastic mood swings. I feel balanced and so grateful!”
“I sincerely enjoy my one-on-one visits with Dr. Rashid. She has excellent interpersonal skills, and easily shares her knowledge, creating a positive and interesting experience. Not only does Dr. Rashid thoroughly understand the physiology and the role of bioidentical hormone therapy, but she also communicates the information in language that is understandable to me as a patient.”
