Dr. Charis Chambers AKA The Period Doctor

Dr. Charis Chambers was born in Nashville, Tennessee to Crandall and Charlette Chambers. Dr. Chambers attended Spelman College in Atlanta, GA where she became a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. in the spring of 2008. She graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2010 with a degree in Biology. She attended medical school at the University of Alabama in Birmingham and completed OBGYN Residency at Greenville Memorial Hospital in 2018 where she was inducted into the prestigious medical society of Alpha Omega Alpha. She is currently in fellowship training for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology with plans to join her father and brother in their OBGYN practice back home in Phenix City, AL / Columbus, GA.

She launched her social media platform, The Period Doctor, in the summer of 2019, after recognizing an unmet need for medically accurate women’s health information and minority physician representation in social media outlets. While her life’s journey, both personal and professional, has been challenging at times, she feels extremely blessed knowing exactly where her help comes from. Her favorite verse is 2nd Timothy 1:7, “God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and of a sound mind.” She attributes her tenacity and resilience to her late mother who taught her again and again to speak up, laugh off the little things, and love without apology.
