Personal
Dr. Escobedo (Dr.E) moved to California in 2012 from British Columbia with her husband Ricardo and dog Dozer after traveling through south America for several months. She practiced collaboratively for two years until the spring of 2014 when she opened her own clinic in Palo Alto called Wild Women Wellness. Her business grew quickly prompting a move to a larger space on the border of Atherton and Redwood City. She played an integral role in developing, supervising and implementing testosterone replacement therapy program with Helix Mobile Wellness for over 2 years. After gaining this unprecedented experience she realized how much she loves working with men's health. Since, she has since transformed her practice into a telemedicine practice so she can easily see patients in all of California from the comfort of their home or office. And she has rebranded Wild Women Wellness to GeOMetric Health to welcome more men into her practice. Her focus is on hormones, weight loss, thyroid health, women’s health, autoimmune conditions, testosterone replacement therapy and digestive health.
