Dr. Mareeni Stanislaus has devoted her life to creating an open, compassionate practice where women know they will be heard and respected. Her goal is to improve women's health and confidence, so they'll have what they need to achieve their goals and thrive. Dr. Stanislaus was among the first female OB-GYNs to serve California’s Central Coast, where she has worked and resided since 1996. Her holistic approach to women’s health enables her to fully understand her patients' issues and concerns so that she can diagnose and treat the full scope of their health in the context of the whole person. Her current practice also offers her the opportunity to take care of women in all cycles of life and even over generations. She is now proudly delivering the babies of women she delivered when she first started her practice. Born in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Dr. Stanislaus studied in London and then Honolulu, where she graduated from the prestigious Punahou High School (President Obama’s alma mater). After achieving dual undergraduate degrees from Stanford University, she went on to medical school at UC San Diego. She then completed her internship and residency at the University of Pennsylvania. Today she is Board Certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and is a member of AmSpa and California Medical Association. Dr. Stanislaus operates out of Twin Cities Hospital in Templeton and Sierra Vista Hospital and French Hospital in San Luis Obispo. Dr. Stanislaus also has privileges at Mee Memorial Hospital, King City and Marian Regional Medical Center, Santa Maria. Dr. Stanislaus lives in Templeton with her husband, Ishka; children Mishta, Sachin and Shobana; Newfoundlands Mabel and Dudley; and rabbits Artemis and Pepper.
