Dr. Metzger, Harmony Women's Health Medical Director, is a gynecologist and reproductive endocrinologist devoted to the treatment of women with challenging medical problems. After graduating from college (SUNY at Buffalo, 1973), she obtained a PhD in molecular endocrinology from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas (1979). She graduated from the University of Texas Medical School at Houston (1982), completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology (1986) and a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (1988) at Duke University in North Carolina. After six years on the faculty of the University of Connecticut Health Center (where she was an associate professor) she went into private practice in Hartford, CT, specializing in chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, infertility and advanced laparoscopic surgery.

In 1998 Dr. Metzger moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and joined Dr. Arnold Kresch, creating Helena Women's Health. After Dr. Kresch's untimely death in 1999, she continued to expand the breadth and depth of services of the practice. In January 2004, she made the decision to give up her surgical practice in favor of an integrative medical practice and opened Harmony Women’s Health, dedicated to the treatment of the whole person, using integrative and holistic care in a nurturing environment.

Dr. Metzger is recognized as one of the leading authorities in the integrative and holistic treatment of endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain. As a necessity, she is also an expert in chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and Lyme disease since these problems often accompany pain issues. She has lectured extensively throughout the world, published widely in peer-reviewed journals and textbooks. Dr. Metzger is one of the editors of Chronic Pelvic Pain: An Integrated Approach, the first book on the subject and one of the authors of the first edition of "Operative Gynecologic Laparoscopy: Principles and Techniques", a groundbreaking overview of modern laparoscopic surgery.

She lives outside of San Francisco in a log cabin with her husband and their four children. Her passions include gardening, writing, movies, travel, photography and time for reflection.
