Description
Dr. Shari Caplan, MD CCFP FCFP FAARM
Dr. Shari Caplan graduated Medicine with Honours from the University of Toronto at the young age of 24. She went on to do Family Practice at Woman’s College Hospital. She was the first F.P. Resident to go directly to a staff position at Women’s College Hospital and has worked there for 21 years where she was a Family Practice Inpatient Attending, delivered babies, saw Outpatients, and taught Residents and Medical Students. She is also a Lecturer at the University of Toronto.
As part of her training in Family Medicine, she allocated a significant proportion of her time to Women's Health. She practiced Obstetrics for 16 years delivering several thousand babies, and fostered a special interest in managing patients with Hormone Imbalances including PMS, Perimenopausal, and Menopausal symptoms, as well as Postpartum Depression, PCOS, and Infertility. As a result of her expertise in Women's Health, she was given a GP Focused Designation in Gynecology in 2011. She is on staff at Women’s College Hospital and Sunnybrook Health Science Center and works part-time at First Steps Fertility Clinic in Conjunction with Dr. Marjorie Dixon.
After years of practice, Dr Caplan realized that it made more sense to try to prevent disease from occurring, than waiting for it to happen and then trying to reverse it. She started incorporating supplements and nutrients into her practice and noticed health benefits in herself and her patients. This led to educating herself in the area of Functional and Integrative Medicine.
She is both Board Certified and a Fellow in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (FAARM) in the American Academy of Anti-aging Medicine. She has a very holistic approach to patient care wherein she uses a combination of Conventional and Functional Medicine. This leads to a very personalized and individualized treatment plan. Her recent passion has been Health Optimization and Hormone Balancing using Integrative, and Functional medicine approaches. It is her intent to use this knowledge and experience to optimize your health.
With healthy lifestyle, balanced nutrition, supplements, and hormone balancing when indicated, we may be able to slow down the aging process to improve health, prevent disease and optimize fertility.
