About Me

Hi, I’m Dr. Wendy Rosensweig, MD, also known as Dr. Rose. I’m a board-certified Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine physician with a passion for helping patients make meaningful, sustainable changes in their health. In addition to family and urgent care medicine, I have a special interest in menopause care and am currently working toward becoming a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner.

Education & Training

Staying active and spending time outdoors are a big part of my life. I’m a runner and have completed 11 marathons, and I celebrated my 50th birthday by competing in a bodybuilding competition. I also love mountaineering and recently climbed a 17,000-foot mountain in the Andes. Each activity teaches me something different: running teaches endurance, lifting builds strength, and mountaineering cultivates perspective. When I’m closer to home, you’ll often find me hiking with my 100-pound golden retriever. We’re outside together almost every day!

Patient-Centric Approach

I firmly believe that knowledge exists to serve others. In medicine, excellence isn’t simply about accumulating knowledge. It’s about applying that knowledge in a way that respects each person’s humanity. I want my patients to leave my office with a clear plan, a renewed sense of agency, and optimism about their health. When I can help someone see that they are capable of making meaningful changes to improve their life, I feel I’ve accomplished something beyond simply delivering quality care.

Top Health Tip

Invest in your future self every day. Small changes in your habits can make a tremendous difference when practiced consistently. Strive to become the healthiest version of yourself, both physically and mentally, so you can also be at your best for the people around you.

If You Could Have Dinner with a Historical Figure, Who Would It Be and Why?

I would choose Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Her relentless pursuit of knowledge in a world that discouraged women from intellectual life is incredibly inspiring. She was a poet, philosopher, scientist, musician, theologian, and fierce advocate for women’s education in colonial Mexico. Her life represents lifelong learning, intellectual courage, and humility, and I would love the opportunity to hear her perspective firsthand.
