It’s mid-morning, and Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi is bustling around her Beverly Hills office in a pair of baby-pink scrubs. She’s busy, having recently taken time off to attend the everyone-who’s-anyone-wasthere Ambani wedding in Mumbai. Her first appointment of the day is with a 27-year-old Scooter Braun employee. When the patient arrives, she seems slightly starstruck to meet the woman who will soon be giving her a Pap smear. “My roommate loves you,” she tells Aliabadi. “She was like, ‘Dr. A could do brain surgery on me.’ ” The standard well-woman appointment usually includes a Pap and maybe some blood and urine tests; this is not that. Aliabadi calculates the patient’s cancer risk, performs a pelvic ultrasound, diagnoses her with PCOS, prescribes her Zepbound for weight loss, and tells her she’ll drop 24 pounds in four months. “That’s the Aliabadi formula,” the doctor says.
The Aliabadi formula has become very popular in Los Angeles of late. Aliabadi is big on preventive care. She uses the MyRisk genetic test, a tool that weighs personal and family history to calculate a patient’s risk for hereditary cancers; she listens to her patients carefully for signs of endometriosis and PCOS; and she assesses the ideal time to freeze eggs. Earlier this year, Olivia Munn credited Aliabadi with saving her life when those tests helped catch her breast cancer. When asked in an interview what her favorite thing about L.A. is, Rihanna said simply, “My gynecologist.” Aliabadi sees Olivia Culpo, members of various royal families, and the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan; she advised SZA to remove her dangerous breast implants and delivered Emma Roberts’s baby and, a month ago, Justin and Hailey Bieber’s son, Jack Blues.
