I was drawn to pursue a career in medicine from a young age, developing an interest for the anatomy of the human body, pathogens, and toxins early on. I was also inspired by my mother, who returned to train as a resident physician at age 51 to enable her to practice medicine in America after immigrating from Nigeria. As I started my residency in obstetrics and gynecology, I learned firsthand about the racial disparities in women’s health and found my purpose to become both a provider and changemaker in this area of medicine.  

While I was studying medicine, I decided to found a private gynecological practice one day, inspired by my personal gynecologist. Balancing being a provider and a business owner is definitely a challenge at times. However, the ability to provide accessible, evidence-based, and personalized care to patients who come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds makes the long hours so worth it. Each day, I’m driven to make a real difference in the lives of my patients. I offer comprehensive women’s health services and specialize in the medical and surgical management of fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, infertility, sexual dysfunction, and menopause. I believe in a patient-centered approach to care, treating each patient as a whole, not just their conditions. 

I’m passionate about empowering my patients to help them make healthier choices and live happier, more fulfilling lives. Beyond practicing medicine, I am the hostess of the Pretty in Pink Podcast, where I invite experts to discuss all things women, from love, sex, and relationships to gynecological conditions like endometriosis and fibroids. I also share knowledge about women’s health to thousands of followers on my Instagram, @i.am.dr.arumala. Through these channels, I strive to discuss health and lifestyle topics in an approachable and understandable way, giving advice through tangible takeaways.

My overarching goal is to improve health literacy. Being an OB-GYN consultant for Flo helps me accomplish this by spreading valuable health information to people everywhere.
