SHE Health Closed September 6th But Will Be Open For Limited Services…

It is with sadness that we closed our women’s health office here in Bozeman, Montana.

This is a difficult time for healthcare, and especially women’s health. Medical insurance premiums for solo practitioners have risen substantially, insurance reimbursements have been cut by 10-15%, and we are facing increased costs and shortages of supplies. Simply put, SHE Health can no longer operate as a private solo practice in this community without additional support that is just not available.

It has been a great 4 years here in Bozeman. Who could have anticipated the COVID pandemic, historic shifts in overturning Roe v. Wade, and the incredible influx of people into our community?

We are remaining open on a limited basis to do BIRTH CONTROL, Female sterilizations, Gynecological Surgery consults and more BIRTH CONTROL! This is what Bozeman needs RIGHT NOW! Some Same day appointments AVAILABLE. CALL US To ASK and LEAVE A MESSAGE OR EMAIL .

Testimonials

“She Actually Took the Time to Listen to Me”

“I want to cry. I had seen 3 other doctors and they refused to tie my tubes. I travelled from Kalispell because I saw her on Reddit and all the reviews were so right. She met with me, talked to me about what the procedure would be like, told me that it couldn’t be reversed and even took the time to draw pictures to explain. I am so grateful she is here! Thanks Dr. Putnam”

Thanks!

Thanks for your personalized care Dr. Putnam! You listened and figured out my issue in record time, without making me feel like I was exaggerating my pain. Cannot thank you enough for your phone calls & emails to talk me through my various options and answer my questions. You helped me accomplish a quick resolution that was best for me, and I’m so much happier & healthier now.

The “Vag Shack” fixed my lady probs

With time, care, education, ease, and humor Dr. Claire Putman fitted me with a pessary. This little plastic device that looks like a diaphragm changed my life. If you’re like me and have bladder leakage problems it could change yours too. Now I do not leak urine at all! No more embarrassment. I feel free to work out, run, hike our mountains, backcountry ski, dance, shovel snow, and even jump on the trampoline with my kids! I had been other places in town and had been improperly fitted. Dr. Claire Putnam really is our best option in the valley.

Lucky Lucky Bozeman!

I met Dr. Putnam at Kaiser for an annual exam. She was professional and also very warm and managed to make a time constrained visit seem unrushed. I have since had the privilege of working with her in my role as a Certified Nurse Midwife in California. She is a wonderful colleague and a joy to work with. She truly cares about women and their families and is an excellent physician. Montana women are very fortunate to have such a skilled and compassionate provider!

Thank You Dr. Putnam!!!

“I am so lucky I found Dr. Putnam at SHE! She offered me options that weren’t give to me when I saw another physician. Because of her, I made the right decision for me, ended up paying much less, and had great care! And I love her beautiful office–cute, private and comfortable!”

August Update on SHE Health closing and what next?

As the only women’s health doctor in Bozeman in private practice, I am sadly closing my clinic as you may have heard. Although my practice has been a true joy for me, there are too many obstacles for me at this time to keep it open. My hope, like most Montanans, is to expand our […]
