Julia Geynisman
Doctor
Bio:
Dr. Julia Geynisman is a resident in Obstetrics and Gynecology at New York Presbyterian- Cornell. Born in Russia and raised in Chicago, Dr. Geynisman came to New York because she is passionate about global women's health - and no city is more global than New York. Dr. Geynisman first learned about sex trafficking as an intern at Partners in Health while reading about the health consequences of the economic upheaval of the Soviet Union. Later, while working on maternal mortality research in Ghana, she saw firsthand the medical and psychological consequences of FGM. She founded the Survivor Clinic in July 2013 because she believes that healthcare can either be re-traumatizing or empowering and that for victims of sexual violence, health is a crucial component to healing. Dr. Geynisman is fluent in English and Russian.
