In today’s modern, fast-paced world, women are tired, stressed and often times experiencing sub-optimal health.

A native of Connecticut, she moved to Florida in 1978 and accepted a position as Hospital Pharmacist and eventually Assistant Director of Pharmacy at what is now Memorial Hospital Pembroke. She received her medical degree from the University of Miami in 1983. Upon graduation, she completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida. Dr. Gail began practicing in Pembroke Pines, Florida, in 1987 and later opened offices in Sunrise and Plantation. In 2004, she expanded into Palm Beach County with an office in Boca Raton, Florida. She currently has two offices-one in Boca Raton and one in Weston. Dr. Gail has received extensive training in complementary and integrative medicine as well as aesthetic medicine.

Dr. Gail also has a thriving aesthetics and wellness practice that incorporates hormone replacement and holistic treatments.  She performs a number of aesthetic procedures, from laser hair removal to Botox injections and offers numerous advanced skincare services. Treatment of the entire person is the key to overall wellness.

A Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, she is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, which is a non-profit organization that provides board certification for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States and Canada.

An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, is a healthcare professional who specializes in female reproductive health. 

Dr. Pezzullo-Burgs is a speaker and contributing author. She was featured as a Women’s Wellness authority on the television series Mission Makeover, a Lifetime Television production. As a married mother of four, Dr. Pezzullo-Burgs has experienced all the stages of a woman’s life and can relate to her patients’ concerns from adolescence to childbirth to menopause.
