Dr. Alison Gambou, DO

Dr. Gambou was born in Bordeaux, France and moved to the United States at fifteen, attending a French high school in the LA area. That early experience of navigating two cultures instilled an adaptability that has shaped her ever since, she speaks French and Spanish alongside English, and she has practiced medicine across three continents. As an undergraduate at Cal State Northridge, she completed an international internship at University Hospital of Brazzaville in Congo, an experience that deepened her commitment to serving women regardless of background or circumstance. She went on to earn her Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine before completing her OB/GYN residency at Rutgers Health/Newark Beth Israel Medical Center in New Jersey. There, she managed high-risk pregnancies and trained in minimally invasive techniques including DaVinci robotic surgery, while also serving on the Resident Wellness Committee, a role that reflects her belief that good medicine starts with taking care of the people who provide it. Dr. Gambou brings that same philosophy to her patients at MomDoc: meet people where they are, listen first, and never underestimate the power of feeling understood.
