Dr. Rachel Rubin
Urologist & Sexual Medicine Specialist
Dr. Rachel Rubin is a urologist and one of the leading sexual medicine specialists in the United States. She has made it her mission to close the gap between what medicine knows about sexual health and what patients are actually told.
Dr. Rubin's clinical work spans all genders and all ages, and her research has consistently documented the ways that sexual health — particularly for women — has been undertreated, underfunded, and undervalued by the medical establishment. She is a vocal advocate for evidence-based sexual medicine and for a healthcare culture that treats sexual health as the legitimate medical priority it is.
She brings to every conversation a combination of clinical precision and genuine urgency — the conviction that the information she is sharing is not just interesting but necessary, and that the people who need it most are often the ones who have been told the least.
Why They Were on Pair-A-Docs
Dr. Rubin joined Dr. Sherry Ross and Dr. Tammy Nelson to expose the gaps in how medicine approaches sexual health — particularly for women. The conversation covers desire, arousal, pain, hormones, and the treatments that exist but that too few patients are ever told about.
For Pair-A-Docs, Dr. Rubin is a natural conversation partner for Dr. Ross, who as an OB-GYN sees the clinical consequences of undertreated sexual health every day. Together, the three doctors have a conversation that is frank, evidence-based, and genuinely useful for anyone who has ever left a doctor's appointment feeling like their concerns weren't taken seriously.
The episode is one of the most clinically substantive in the Pair-A-Docs catalog — and one of the most practically important for listeners who want real answers about their sexual health.
