Dr. Corey Babb, a proud graduate of the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, is at the forefront of women’s health, focusing on innovative care and hormonal wellness. Inspired by his father, an obstetrician, Babb has turned his early influences into a rewarding medical career.
“My father was always off delivering babies,” Babb recalls. “This was his life, and it gave me a front-row seat to that lifestyle.” Despite not initially planning to follow in his father’s footsteps—having earned a degree in music composition—Babb found his true calling in medicine, leading him to the esteemed OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine.
“I chose OSU for its strong reputation and excellent faculty,” Babb explains. “Having shadowed a DO from there, I was impressed by how much the school genuinely cares about its students.”
Now a Doctor of Osteopathy specializing in women’s health, Babb is a respected fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health (ISSWSH). He is also a certified menopause practitioner, leveraging his knowledge to support women through hormonal transitions.
After completing his residency, Babb discovered his passion lay not in obstetrics but in reproductive endocrinology and hormone studies. “I really fell in love with reproductive endocrinology and wanted to subspecialize in that,” he shares, emphasizing how menopause and sexual health are intricately linked.
Babb established the Haven Center in 2022, which has since attracted patients from across the United States and even internationally, drawn by his specialized care.
As a certified menopause practitioner, Babb empowers women navigating hormonal changes. “Menopause can be thought of as ‘reverse puberty,’ affecting various organ systems beyond just hot flashes and night sweats,” he states. “It influences weight, migraines, joint pain, skin elasticity—almost every organ system is impacted.”
Hormone therapy serves as a critical tool in alleviating these symptoms, offering quick relief for many women. “It’s incredibly rewarding when someone realizes they don’t have to live with certain symptoms, and they tell me, ‘My whole life has changed because of this,’” he says.
Staying current with advancements in hormone therapy, Babb ensures his treatments are safe and effective. His role as an ISSWSH fellow enriches his approach to women’s health, allowing him to see a patient’s wellbeing holistically. “It’s essential to understand the interplay between gynecologic, urologic, psychological, and hormonal aspects—essentially how these different systems interact,” he remarks. “Helping orchestrate this dance among various disciplines is what I find most fulfilling in my work.”
Babb is also authoring a book titled “A Practical Guide to Female Sexual Medicine,” set to be released in May 2025, aiming to provide a valuable resource for healthcare providers and patients alike. “My mission is to help women feel better and reclaim their health,” he asserts. “Women deserve specialized care, and that’s what we aim to provide.”
Reflecting on his experience at OSU, Babb shares, “The quality of the curriculum, the friendships formed, and the opportunity for a truly holistic medical education stand out as the best parts.”
