A Boutique Practice With Deep Boca Raton Roots
When two board-certified OB/GYNs leave a large, private-equity-backed women's health network to build something smaller and more deliberate, patients tend to notice. That's the story behind Mira Women's Health & Midwifery — which most longtime Boca Raton patients still know under its prior name, Lucina Women's Health.
The rebrand from Lucina to Mira took shape in 2024, when Dr. Kenneth Konsker, MD, FACOG, and Dr. Emily Woodbury, MD, FACOG, founded the practice with a mission of pairing genuine medical expertise with concierge-level attentiveness — while continuing to accept commercial insurance. Most "boutique" OB/GYN practices in South Florida operate cash-only. Mira's willingness to work within the insurance system without sacrificing a personalized-care model is a meaningful differentiator.
Today the practice operates from two Boca Raton suites at 1601 Clint Moore Road and a third location at 3801 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, FL. Phone: (561) 425-9251.
The Physicians Behind the Practice
The clinical team is anchored by its two co-founding OB/GYNs.
Dr. Kenneth Konsker, MD, FACOG brings more than 28 years of South Florida clinical experience. Before co-founding Mira, he co-founded Florida Woman Care and was affiliated with Unified Women's Healthcare. His background spans minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, well-woman care, and high-complexity obstetrics. He also practiced under the Lucina Women's Health name — the direct lineage connecting both practice identities.
Dr. Emily Woodbury, MD, FACOG is double Ivy League-trained at Columbia and Cornell, graduating into the honor societies of both institutions. She trained internationally before establishing her South Florida practice and was named to Boca Raton Magazine's Top Doctors 2025 list. Patients consistently describe her consultations as thorough and unhurried — attributes that often erode at scale in larger network practices.
Additional OB/GYN physicians include Dr. Frederick Silfen, MD, Dr. Robert Siudmak, MD, and Dr. Naomi Ufberg, MD — all FACOG-credentialed. The advanced practice team includes certified nurse midwives Polina Goldenberg, APRN, CNM; Charla O'Neil, APRN, CNM; Liliana Correa, CNM, ARNP, WHNP-BC; and physician assistant Jennifer Lopez, MPAS, PA-C. The midwifery component positions Mira to serve both patients seeking interventional gynecologic care and those preferring a midwife-supported approach to pregnancy.
Services: Full-Spectrum Women's Health
Mira covers the full arc of women's health under one roof. Core offerings include well-woman preventive care (annual exams, cervical screening, STI testing), comprehensive obstetrics from early pregnancy through postpartum, and fertility evaluation with hormone panels and ultrasound-based ovarian reserve assessment. On the surgical side, the practice performs minimally invasive procedures for fibroids, polyps, and endometriosis — including in-office hysteroscopic removal and endometrial ablation for patients with abnormal uterine bleeding who want to avoid hysterectomy. Contraception counseling, IUD placement, and midwife-led prenatal care round out the service menu.
In-office ultrasound is available at both Boca Raton suites, meaning same-visit imaging for pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or fertility concerns — a meaningful advantage over practices that require a separate imaging referral. Online appointment scheduling is available at all three locations.
What 4.9 Stars Across 852 Reviews Signals in South Florida
A 4.9-star average across 852 reviews is, by any fair measure, exceptional. The mathematics alone make it difficult to fake: at this volume, a sustained 4.9 requires that the overwhelming majority of patient interactions — not just the memorable ones — are going well. Even a run of a dozen dissatisfied patients cannot move a 4.9 toward 4.7 at this scale without several hundred more behind them. This is one of the most meaningful signals of clinic quality available to prospective patients.
In Boca Raton specifically, the context sharpens the significance. Palm Beach County's OB/GYN market is mature and competitive — patients have access to large multi-location networks, hospital-affiliated practices, and nationally branded fertility groups. Against that backdrop, a five-physician independent practice sustaining a 4.9 across 852 datapoints reflects something structural, not a single strong month. Themes that surface across Mira's listings include prompt communication, minimal wait times, unhurried appointments, and a consistent sense that physicians know who their patients are — precisely the qualities that tend to erode first as practices scale.
Florida Has No Fertility Insurance Mandate
Florida is among the majority of U.S. states with no legislation requiring insurers to cover IVF, IUI, or fertility diagnostic testing. Unless your employer has negotiated specific fertility benefits, your insurer faces no legal obligation to pay for fertility workups or assisted reproduction. Fertility workups typically run $500–$2,000 out-of-pocket; IVF, if needed, costs $15,000–$25,000 per cycle before medications. Our fertility insurance by state guide explains what Florida residents can and cannot expect from their plans, and IVF cost by state provides pricing benchmarks specific to Florida.
Because Mira's physicians offer fertility evaluation alongside full-spectrum gynecologic care, a patient who mentions difficulty conceiving at an annual exam can initiate a preliminary workup within the same clinical relationship — without a separate referral track to a stand-alone reproductive endocrinology clinic. That continuity has real value in a state where out-of-pocket costs make every duplicated appointment expensive.

The Bottom Line
Mira Women's Health & Midwifery — the practice most South Florida women still find through the Lucina Women's Health name — is a well-credentialed OB/GYN and midwifery group with one of the strongest patient satisfaction records in the Boca Raton market. The 4.9-star average across 852 reviews reflects a deliberate choice by Drs. Konsker and Woodbury to build smaller and more carefully than the large network practices they came from. Patients in Palm Beach County and Broward County who want named physicians, in-office procedures, and a practice that accepts commercial insurance without sacrificing the boutique-care experience will find few better-documented options in the region.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.
At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while they wait for an appointment slot.
If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same practice as Lucina Women's Health in Boca Raton?
Yes. Mira Women's Health & Midwifery is the rebranded successor to Lucina Women's Health, founded in 2024 by Dr. Kenneth Konsker, MD, FACOG, and Dr. Emily Woodbury, MD, FACOG — both of whom practiced at Lucina. The practice operates from the same Boca Raton address (1601 Clint Moore Road) with expanded midwifery services and an additional Hollywood, FL location.
Does Mira Women's Health offer fertility treatment, and does insurance cover it in Florida?
Mira provides fertility evaluation and diagnostic workups for patients experiencing difficulty conceiving. Florida has no state law requiring insurers to cover IVF or fertility treatment, so most patients pay out of pocket for advanced fertility care. Because Mira accepts commercial insurance, some diagnostic components may be covered under a standard gynecology benefit — call (561) 425-9251 to verify what your specific plan covers before your first fertility appointment.
What makes Mira Women's Health different from large OB/GYN networks in Boca Raton?
Mira was built as a deliberate alternative to private-equity-backed women's health networks. Both co-founding physicians came from larger group practices and structured Mira to protect what typically erodes at scale: access to named physicians, unhurried appointments, and responsive communication between visits. The integration of certified nurse midwives alongside OB/GYNs adds a range of care philosophies under one roof — and the 4.9-star average across 852 reviews reflects that the model is delivering on that promise.
