Natalie Drake, MD

Went in on the 18th and felt a difference the same day. I look forward to my next appt. Thank you to all the reviews before me. I wish I knew of this sooner. I am starting to share this to other women. It's just been 2 days and my confidence is up, sex was amazing the same day, and knowing that I can confidently drink more water without wetting myself is great. This was absolutely a wonderful experience from the moment I spoke with her. She truly cares about women's health.

Dr. Drake listens and genuinely cares. She is sweet and kind.I had no sexual desires due to lack of interest and painful intercourses .The difference she made is like night and day! I now have a great sex life again!!

Dr. Drake is very sweet, down to earth, and thorough. She answered every question and eased all my worries and doubts with the patience of Job. She took the time to explain the procedure beforehand and let me know what she was doing each so of the procedure. The first treatment I didnt notice much of a change. The second treatment there was definite increase in lubrication and sexual enjoyment and it only got better after the third treatment.

Dr. Drake has a great bed-side manner, is very professional, and is one of the only OB doctors that performs this service. In my search for a practitioner to perform this treatment, ThermiVa (vaginal rejuvination), several plastic surgeons in the Houston area came up; however, none of their websites seemed very personal. That may seem like a strange thing to say about a business website but Dr. Drake's website had several videos that she recorded answering many of the questions that I had, and some I didn't know I had. It was great to be able to see her face to face and get of sense of who she is and, more importantly, why she performs this service. When I made my consultation appointment and met with Dr. Drake, she explained the she had actually retired, and she returned to practice to help women like myself. I am 41, and have four daughters. I suppose that in itself was reason enough to reach out; however, I reached out because I heard that this treatment can help with stress incontinence. I really had no sexual complaints, or any issues with vaginal dryness; although, I will say that the tightening of the vaginal area was a welcome side effect of the procedure. I would report a 50-60% improvement in my stress incontinence at this point, and Dr. Drake says it will continue to improve over the next month as the treatment reaches its final results. I would highly recommend Dr. Drake to anyone who is considering this treatment. She spent many years as an OB, and is very familiar with all the ins and outs of the vaginal area, no pun intended. The treatment itself is painless, a little warm at times, similar to a hot stone massage, except its on and in your lady bits. I know for many it may seem like an unnecessary expense, but it has improved my life inside and outside of the bedroom, and if you can make it work financially, there is much to be said about a healthy sex life with your partner, and a confidence in your body that you may have lost along life's journey. Thanks so much Dr. Drake! I hope you are available to help out us ladies for many years to come.

I only wish I had found Dr. Drake 10 years ago. She's a talented, intelligent, caring gem of a doctor. Menopause can create issues that are not generally openly discussed, but I found that there are updated treatments by visiting Dr. Drake. My personal problem was rather 'dismissed' by my previous physician. Dr. Drake asked the correct questions, did some checks, and was able to get me on the correct path to recovery. Just some listening and knowledge make for a great patient/doctor relationship. I highly recommend Dr. Drake for gynecological care.

If you are considering Thermiva treatments with Dr. Drake for vaginal tightening, increased lubrication, reducing overactive bladder symptoms, and bringing back your Ooo face...Don't consider it...DO IT!! Dr. Drake was incredibly professional and sincere from our first consultation through the end of my treatments. I am young-ish, had my children via C-section and was naïve to the fact of how beneficial this treatment could be for me and for woman of all ages. When I explained my (presumably embarrassing) needs for wanting treatment, Dr. Drake made me feel completely comfortable and well informed through her compassion and explanation. The treatments are sold in a package of 3 (for full "correction"), and it was recommended to me that after my series I should plan on doing 1 treatment per year to maintain my results. Each of my treatments took about 30 mins, and were completely pain free. The best way I can explain how the treatment feels is that of a warm oil massage. There were no restrictions after my treatments (including sex). The first things both my husband and I noticed were vaginal tightening and lubrication. The next thing I noticed is not feeling the urge to wet my pants when I sneezed! Overall, I am very pleased with my treatments and the on going improvement to my body and health. I highly recommend Dr. Drake and Thermiva!

Natalie Drake is a Wonderful doctor. She explained the entire procedure completely before getting started. She Made you feel comfortable and procedue was not uncomfortable at all. The vaginal rejuvenation gave me Great results! I was having an urgency to urinate after carrying twins 5 years ago. This procedure has stopped that urgency and made me feel like myself again. Also . The outer effect of the labia and overall appearance was improved.

Dr Drake is wonderful! She makes you feel so at ease and takes her time with you making sure you understand everything. She is so caring and passionate about what she does. I was nervous going in but that didn’t last long. I would highly recommend her for any procedure that she does!

I am an OBGYN and was looking for someone reputable to do this procedure. Thankfully, I found Dr. Drake in Real Self and scheduled a consultation. She put me at ease right away and was very upfront about common side effects with the ThermiVa procedure. After three sessions, my urge incontinence improved significantly. I would recommend this treatment and, of course, Dr. Drake to anyone struggling with incontinence and perineal laxity.

Dr. Drake is so warm that she puts you at ease immediately, even though you are going over intimate bladder and sexual questions. Besides being everything you want in a doctor, I highly recommend this Thermiva procedure. It totally removed any bladder leakage problems I was having during exercise. Then, the improved sexual sensitivity and lubrication is an awesome bonus!
