Dr. Gabrielle Goodrick

Dr. Goodrick founded Camelback Family Planning in 1999. As Medical Director, she has provided over 22 years of clinical care, leadership, and management skills to allow the clinic to thrive and become a model for safe and compassionate abortion care. Dr. Goodrick’s empathy and compassion are well known to her patients. She is an expert in her field and is continually improving clinical protocols in abortion care.

After earning her medical degree from the University of Vermont, she trained in Family Medicine at Phoenix Baptist Hospital, now Abrazo Central. Since the early 1990’s she has been training to do abortions and worked at Planned Parenthood for 5 years before opening her own clinic.

Dr. Goodrick is a member of the National Abortion Federation (NAF) and Abortion Care Network. She has an outstanding reputation with health care professionals around the world. She has spoken nationally about the Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill) and was the first provider to dispense the Abortion Pill in the Southwest in November 2000. Her current research focuses on innovations in later abortion care to expand access. Additionally, she believes strongly in educating pro-choice physicians and offers training to future physicians from around the globe. Trainees do not incur any fees for their training.

Dr. Goodrick has gathered wonderful women physicians to provide abortion care at the clinic. Dr. Goodrick enjoys all things feline, cooking, knitting and traveling. She has served as Board Chair of Pro-Choice Arizona 501(c)3 since 2013.

Physician

Dr. Barbara Zipkin

Dr. Barbara Zipkin is an obstetrician-gynecologist who has over 40 years of experience. She travels from southern California to provide abortion care in Arizona whenever we need her. Her compassion, joyous personality and clinical skills make her a perfect fit in our clinic.

She graduated from Northwestern University School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois and completed her obstetrics & gynecology residency at North Shore University Hospital in New York.

She loves coming into work each day. Her favorite part of the job is really getting to know her patients on a deeper level, and she enjoys joking and laughing with them when they are happy and consoling and comforting them when they are down. They say that when you love what you do, you don’t work a day in your life, and she lives this truth every time she sets foot in an exam room. Dr. Zipkin strongly believes in a woman’s right to access the best healthcare possible. Our mission to serve, treat, and educate women falls right in line with her morals as a physician and woman.

Staff love Dr. Zipkin for her love of sugar as she always fully stocks the break room with goodies. She loves spending time with her kids and extended family, telling bad jokes, providing botox to staff (she’s highly trained) and indulging her sweet tooth.
