Helen Otteno, MD, FACOG

Here’s the updated version: I chose Dr. Otteno after consulting with several surgeons, and her background as a gynecologist was the deciding factor for me — her depth of experience with female anatomy gave me a level of confidence I didn’t feel elsewhere. The consultation was genuinely thorough. She walked me through the full range of options, from a clitoral hood reduction to a labia minora reduction to a mini perineoplasty, and explained the benefits of each. What stood out was that she didn’t push me toward doing more than I needed. She was upfront about why I might choose part of the procedure versus the whole thing, and she was thoughtful about both my time and the cost. Her staff was warm and welcoming throughout, which made a real difference. This kind of surgery is deeply personal and can feel intimidating to even talk about, and Dr. Otteno walked me through every step in a way that put me at ease. The postoperative care is where she really went above and beyond. She reached out multiple times to check on me and was readily available whenever I had questions. Recovery from an intimate procedure comes with a lot of small worries, and knowing I could reach my surgeon directly meant a lot. If you’re considering this kind of procedure, I’d strongly encourage you to book a consultation with her. The combination of gynecological expertise, honest guidance, and genuinely attentive care is hard to find.

Dr. Otteno is gentle, kind, considerate and expertly trained by Dr. Charles Runels for PRP. Her treatments are the most respectful and pain free treatments I have ever received. She informs me every step of the way so I am never caught off guard by an unexpected touch or procedure. My emotional safety and my physical well being are always front and center!

“I underwent labiaplasty and perineoplasty after years of experiencing both functional and aesthetic concerns. From the initial consultation onward, I felt reassured by the professionalism, transparency, and expertise of Dr Otteno. Every aspect of the procedure was clearly explained, including expected outcomes and recovery milestones. The surgery itself was performed with precision, and postoperative care was thorough and attentive. I’ve experienced significant improvement in comfort during daily activities and exercise, as well as a notable enhancement in confidence and overall quality of life. The outcome feels both natural and restorative. Choosing to undergo these procedures was an important decision, and I am extremely pleased with the level of care, skill, and professionalism I received. I would highly recommend Dr. Otteno to anyone interested in these procedures.
