PCOS Treatment For PCOS Women By PCOS Women

Meet our founder

Dr. Lynsey Johnson, DNP, APRN, FNP-C

I started PCOS Sisters after years of struggling—and finally overcoming—my own polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) symptoms.

At 25, I suddenly developed severe acne, mood swings, and unwanted hair on my chin seemingly out of nowhere. I was misdiagnosed multiple times because I didn’t “fit” the classic stereotype of someone with PCOS since I wasn’t overweight or infertile at the time (that came later). Thousands of dollars, multiple specialists, and years of frustration later, I finally received an accurate diagnosis and began effective treatment.

After earning my Doctorate of Nursing Practice and board certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner, I began treating patients who shared the same story as my own, women who were told their symptoms were “normal” or who had been dismissed by the medical system.

The Beginning of PCOS Sisters

What started as my personal mission grew into PCOS Sisters—a telehealth platform dedicated to empowering women with PCOS through accessible, evidence-based care. The PCOS Sisters treatment approach combines metabolic optimization, medical management of symptoms, and lifestyle support.

Because PCOS affects multiple systems in the body, I also serve as a primary care provider for women with PCOS, helping them achieve better long-term health outcomes. I believe lack of insurance coverage, distance, or multiple co-pays should never be a barrier to receiving high-quality PCOS care.

It is easy to schedule appts and the providers are knowledgeable on PMOS/PCOS as many of them do have it as well. I feel heard and seen for the first time in my PCOS/PMOS journey! Dr. Johnson and her team are amazing!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Johnson for about three months now, and I am so happy with my treatment. The staff is kind, they listen, and most importantly, I think my treatment is going wonderfully.

Update: after a small medicine change and thorough labs & follow ups- I’m pregnant! This baby wouldn’t have been possible without Kristina!! So grateful for her & her expertise. I’ve been through 6+ years of functional medicine without change. The DNP I spoke with today was knowledgeable and to the point with what she thought my next best steps were. I appreciate her time looking through my old labs and her candor on what my next available options were to solve my issues.

I can’t say enough good things about this PCOS group! I’ve been a patient here for the past 3 years and have had nothing but wonderful experiences. Everyone is so kind, supportive and genuinely helpful. You can tell they truly care about their patients and want to see them do well. Lynsey is absolutely amazing! She is so sweet, compassionate and always takes the time to listen and help me figure out the best way forward. Her bedside manner is excellent and I’ve always felt comfortable talking with her and asking questions. She has really helped me get my PCOS under control and get back on track with my health. I’ve been able to lose weight, feel better overall and have a much better understanding of how to manage my PCOS. I’m so thankful I found this group and especially grateful to have Lynsey as my provider. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive PCOS care!

I’ve had such a positive experience working with PCOS/PMOS Sisters. Dr. Lynsey Johnson is incredibly kind, personable, and knowledgeable, and it’s clear how well-educated she is when it comes to PCOS/PMOS and women’s health. After feeling dismissed for years, it was such a relief to finally have someone genuinely listen to my concerns and take them seriously. I also really appreciate how closely my care is monitored. We check in regularly, including monthly follow-ups when starting or adjusting medications, which makes me feel supported and comfortable with my treatment plan. She takes the time to answer my questions, explain her recommendations, and make sure I’m doing well rather than simply prescribing something and sending me on my way. I’m continuing to receive care from Dr. Lynsey Johnson and have been so grateful for the support I’ve received so far. I would absolutely recommend her to other women looking for knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive care for PCOS/PMOS.

After living with PCOS for years, I’ve often felt like an outcast at doctors’ offices. The answer always seemed to be, “just loose weight”, without really understanding everything that comes with PCOS. Dr Lynsey makes me feel comfortable and understands that it’s a step by step process.

My experience has been amazing throughout my whole time of working with PCOS sisters. From the initial appointment I knew I wanted to work with them. I was seeing an endocrinologist before and just not getting anywhere. I love PCOS sisters for many reasons 1 being the flexibility and convenience of zoom appointments, 2 i had more progress in the few months of switching over to PCOS sisters than I did working with my endocrinologist. The 3rd reason is that they are available whenever you need them, even when you have a question outside your scheduled appointment, the communication is great! I highly recommend giving it a chance!

I have suffered from PCOS all my life and never really got a hold of the situation until recently when I couldn’t take it anymore. After extensive research online to find someone in my area that specialized in this to make sure I am doing everything to get my symptoms under control, I stumbled upon PCOS Sisters and am very grateful to have found Dr. Lynsey Johnson. After a quick phone call for a discussion of my medical history, she took me on as a patient and has been nothing but helpful in trying to help my condition! I highly recommend her and am very happy with the knowledge she has about PCOS and what I can do to take charge of my health.

Dr. Johnson is incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate about this diagnosis. I have finally begun to lose weight after trying on my own for 14 years and failing. My A1C has dropped and the bad cholesterol too! I highly recommend giving PMOS sisters try.

I was really suprised on how straightforward Kristina was. I did expect the visit to last the 45mins stated but it only lasted about 20mins instead. She provided an understandable explanation of my symptoms and I was really grateful that instead going straight to treatment, she wanted me to do labs and imaging to be sure we treat the issue correctly and not "slap a bandaid" attitude on it. I look forward to continuing my treatment with them. All services are TH. Labs/Imaging orders are placed and if you have insurance, you can seek an in network provider to cover it. I paid $99 for a month and it comes with quite a few perks I look for forward to utilizing.

If you are struggling with getting the proper care you deserve and do not feel heard at your regular OB/GYN, look no further. Kristina Medina was absolutely incredible and I cannot wait to pursue my healthy journey with PCOS sisters. I cried during my appointment today after feeling the relief of finally getting answers and proper care. She is also knowledgeable of the link between PCOS and IIH which is incredibly helpful for me. Could not be happier and more relieved as I am right now for my health.

I love this clinic so much. I’ve been here for over a year now and was able to get my labs to healthy levels, reduce PCOS symptoms, and am able to feel supported through it. My NP Kristina is the best, I’ve loved working with her. Kristina is extremely thorough and has always educated me on PCOS and guided me through my symptoms and medication choices. I have always felt heard, validated, and gradually challenged in the direction I need to go. Kristina took the time to build trust with me, considers my culture, and I always look forward to checking in with her and ask her questions. I had never felt supported by a medical provider before coming to this clinic and I’m so grateful it exists because I wasn’t able to access this care in my hometown. If you’ve been struggling with PCOS or just want to work with a provider for women’s issues I highly recommend it. It’s a journey and we deserve to have providers who we don’t have to tirelessly advocate for ourselves with because they care to see us be well.
