Dr. Neelagaru runs a virtual-only specialty clinic for menopause and sexual medicine. She no longer provides primary care, so patients keep their own doctor for routine care, physicals and pelvic exams. New patients start with a free video strategy call, and care runs through 60-minute video visits or her four-month Flourish Method program with labs and monthly follow-ups. She prescribes FDA-approved bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, plus vaginal estrogen and non-hormonal options, and she does not place pellets but helps women move off them. Sexual health is at the center of her practice, and she also sees male partners for erectile dysfunction and low testosterone. She is perimenopausal herself and says her own hormonal changes shaped how she practices.
Dr. Bassett is an integrative and functional medicine physician who spent over 15 years in emergency medicine before opening this practice. Care starts with a 90-minute assessment, in person in Walnut Creek or by video, followed by a health coach visit. Patients who are a good fit can join a 12-month membership with regular visits and direct messaging. She is a consultant only and patients must keep their own primary care doctor.
Concierge primary care for adults around Incline Village and North Lake Tahoe, run by a single internist who is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner with a stated focus on women's health and menopause. A flat monthly membership covers unlimited office visits, direct messaging with the physician, annual exams and virtual visits, with home visits and same or next-day access also offered. Non-members can book a one-off urgent care visit or a paid introductory visit credited toward joining.
Afton Williamson is a psychiatric and family nurse practitioner and clinical director at Bloom Mental Health, a psychiatry practice in Littleton. She has a stated interest in perimenopause and menopause, using FDA-approved hormone therapy, non-hormonal options and supplements. Her other focus is women's mental health, including PMDD and perinatal mood disorders. New patients start by calling or booking a call with the front desk, then have a one-hour intake in person or by video.
Dr. Alzaiem is an internal medicine physician who runs a membership practice in Wesley Chapel. His women's hormone program is for perimenopause, menopause and after, and it starts with hormone and metabolic lab testing before a treatment plan is set. Visits can be in person or by video, and members have direct access to him between visits. Hormone care can be a standalone membership or added to his primary care membership.
Dr. Sadaf runs a small concierge gynecology practice in Chappaqua focused on menopause and sexual health. Patients join through an annual membership, which buys longer unhurried visits and direct email access to her. She manages menopause hormone therapy in person and by video for women in New York and Michigan, and the office also does procedures like endometrial biopsies and in-house blood draws. She is a fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health, so painful sex, low desire and pelvic floor pain get as much attention as hot flashes. She also hosts The Muslim Sex Podcast and talks openly about how culture shapes women's intimate lives. New patients can start with a free 15-minute video meet and greet.
A concierge integrative and functional internal medicine practice in Manhattan for adults with chronic conditions and midlife health, led by a board-certified internist who is also a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. Care is sold as twelve-month packages pairing physician visits with an integrative health advisor. The first assessment is a 90-minute consultation plus an advisor visit, and New York patients are encouraged to come in for a brief exam. Consultations are by video, with unlimited portal messaging and calls answered within one to two business days.
Dr. Ney co-directs the Women's Clinic at the Akasha Center in Santa Monica, and the center names her as its doctor for women's bioidentical hormone therapy. The first women's visit runs 60 to 90 minutes and covers a full health history, an exam if needed and lab orders. The center gives estrogen only through the skin as a cream or patch and says it never prescribes Provera. Before starting hormones, women need a baseline hormone panel, a pelvic ultrasound and a recent mammogram. Her own work leans heavily on stress and nervous system regulation alongside hormones, and she uses GLP-1 medication for weight when it fits. She sees patients in the office or by video, and patients outside Los Angeles need a local doctor for exams and emergencies.
Dr. Bartlett Hackenmiller is a gynecologist who trained in integrative medicine under Andrew Weil and now sees menopause, menstrual, fertility and pelvic floor concerns. She works through MercyOne OB-Gyn in Waterloo and HonorHealth Integrative Medicine in Scottsdale, and she sees many patients by video. She prescribes bioidentical hormones and uses transdermal estrogen rather than pills. She also leans on herbs, diet and mind-body work, and she has written about helping women who can't take hormones. She is a clinical herbalist and a certified forest therapy guide, and her own life, including raising a son with autism and losing her first husband to cancer, shapes how she practices.
Cindy Pak Leaker runs New You Wellness Clinic in Glenview and treats women through perimenopause and menopause as well as men with low testosterone. She spent more than 20 years in family, emergency and urgent care medicine before opening the clinic. She says she started it after her own years of fibroids, infertility and dismissed menopause symptoms that ended in a hysterectomy, and her line for it is that she became the provider she could not find. Care is built around bioidentical hormones, and she offers pellets alongside injections, creams, patches and pills. Every new patient starts with a short discovery phone call before they can book a first appointment, and the clinic deliberately takes only 15 new patients a month. She also sees patients at a second practice in Chicago's West Loop, and hormone visits happen in the office rather than by video.

Morghan Milagrosa is a women's health nurse practitioner and nurse midwife at Chinn GYN, a small all-female practice in Mount Vernon run with gynecologic surgeon Dr. Melissa Chinn. She treats menopause as part of whole-body primary and gynecologic care, prescribing hormone therapy in many forms and adjusting the dose over follow-up visits. New patients start with a single exploratory visit to meet her, and ongoing medical care then requires the practice's concierge membership. The practice does not bill insurance, but it gives patients the paperwork to seek reimbursement themselves. Her bio says she also focuses on obesity, disordered eating and substance use, and she has taught in university programs in three states. Video visits are available for some appointments, and established patients can reach a provider after hours.
Dr. Abraham runs a small solo gynecology practice in the Foxhall Square building in Northwest DC. Menopause care is a core part of what she does, from the first perimenopause changes through hormone therapy after menopause. She also treats bone loss, recurrent UTIs and vaginal and urinary changes, and makes room to talk about low libido and postmenopausal bleeding. Visits are long and unhurried, and the office offers same day or same week appointments. Before training as a doctor she worked in healthcare consulting for a large health insurer, which helps explain why she chose to work outside insurance. She doesn't do obstetrics, and new patients are asked to send the last year or two of records before the first visit.
SerenityNP Integrative Health is Carolyn Johnson's own clinic in Crystal Lake and bioidentical hormone therapy is the center of it. New patients start with a free discovery call and then come in for a 60 to 75 minute consultation covering medical history and health goals before any plan is written. She runs broad lab panels including estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, cortisol and testosterone, then prescribes hormones as pellets, creams or other forms and adjusts from there. She spent over 30 years in women's health before opening the practice, with earlier work in the NICU, in labor and delivery and in psychiatry. The office also runs a medically supervised weight loss program that can include GLP-1 medication, and it keeps a clinical thermographer on staff for thermal imaging alongside red light sauna and nutritional IV therapy.
Dr. Wang is an internist who spent about 20 years in primary care and is also board certified in obesity medicine. She now sees women in perimenopause and menopause by video only, as an affiliate clinician of Dr. Heather Hirsch's Collaborative membership. Care runs through that membership, which has a one-year minimum and covers visits and messages with no charge per visit, plus group Q&As and coaching sessions. Her approach puts a lot of weight on nutrition, metabolic health and mindset alongside medical treatment. She asks patients to keep their own primary care doctor and gynecologist for hands-on care, since she does not see anyone in person.
The Group has been practicing in the Quad Cities since 1978 and is an obstetrics and gynecology practice, with its main office in Davenport and a second in Clinton open on Wednesdays. Eight physicians work alongside midwives, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, and Barclay joined in 2006. On the gynecology side the practice handles perimenopause and menopausal symptoms, and also bleeding after menopause and urinary incontinence. Bone density screening and pelvic floor therapy are done in the office, so a woman worried about her bones or her bladder can be seen in one place. Care is in person only, and a new patient either calls or sends the appointment request form, after which the office rings back to confirm details before anything is booked. The site never names a hormone treatment, so what she prescribes for menopause is not published.
Capital Women's Care DC is a group OB-GYN practice near Foggy Bottom, and Dr. Bajaj is the managing partner of the Washington office. She spent nearly two decades doing both obstetrics and gynecology, then stopped obstetrics in 2022 to practice gynecology only, with perimenopause and menopause as her focus. She says she wants to close the knowledge gap around hormone replacement therapy, and she writes publicly about women's health on a site of her own. You book online or by phone, and appointments can be in person or by video. Alongside menopause care the office does in-office procedures and minimally invasive gyn surgery, so a woman who needs both can stay in one place. Worth knowing is that the practice says an annual well-woman visit with the doctor of your choice usually takes one to three months to get.
Christine Hart Kress runs her own small menopause practice as a women's health nurse practitioner. New patients start with a short virtual menopause diagnostic call booked online. Visits are by video, and the only appointment she offers online is virtual. She has a doctorate in nursing and a long background in nursing leadership as well as clinical care.
A solo nurse-practitioner practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, covering sexual health, metabolic and weight care, bone health and cardiovascular risk. Men are seen for weight management only. Care runs on a direct-pay membership after a 75-minute first visit, with 45-minute follow-ups as often as needed, direct messaging, lab ordering and interpretation including bone density scans, and prescriptions sent to the patient's chosen pharmacy. Visits are in person in Boulder or by video anywhere in Colorado. The practice prescribes bioidentical and generic FDA-approved hormones with occasional compounding, and declines to use pellets because the dose cannot be adjusted once inserted.
Dr. Campbell is a gynecologist in Aiea whose practice centers on the menopausal transition. She spent years as an OB/GYN hospitalist in Ohio and delivered more than a thousand babies before moving to Hawaii for an addiction medicine fellowship. She still treats patients with substance use conditions, so menopause care is one of two parts of her practice. Her own articles point patients toward FDA-approved estradiol and micronized progesterone, note that compounded hormones are not FDA-approved, and explain why she does not use DUTCH urine testing to guide treatment. Office visits run several weekdays and Saturday mornings, and Fridays are video visits only. New patients start by requesting a consultation through the form on her site.
Simone Medical is a small clinic in Matthews run by Lindsay Simone, a family nurse practitioner who trained through the BHRT Training Academy in bioidentical hormones and functional medicine. She writes on the site that she went through hormone imbalance and weight gain herself, and says that is what pushed her toward functional medicine. Care starts with lab testing and a talk through your symptoms and history, then runs as a three month hormone program with video visits and messaging in between. Hormones come as creams, gels, patches or tablets, and prescriptions go through the clinic's own network of compounding pharmacies rather than your local drugstore. She also runs weight loss and wellness coaching programs, and patients can combine those with hormone care. Visits are in person or by video, but you have to be physically in North Carolina for each one.

Lori Stepp is a family nurse practitioner at Lakefront Wellness, a clinic in Lakeland that pairs hormone therapy with IV hydration, weight management and aesthetics. Her own focus there is hormones, weight, nutrition and vitamins. Hormone care starts with a short intake visit, then lab work and a longer visit to go over the results and set a bioidentical hormone plan. Follow-ups come every three to six months with repeat labs and refills. She came to this work after her own symptoms were brushed off as normal, and she has taught women's health as a nursing professor. The clinic sees patients in person by appointment and books online.
Jenn Kosova is a physician assistant with a long emergency medicine background who now runs a concierge functional medicine practice. She treats both women and men for hormone changes, including perimenopause and menopause, using bioidentical hormones. New patients start with a discovery call and then a consultation built around a large lab panel, and ongoing care runs through a membership with direct messaging. Visits can be by telehealth, in the Los Angeles or Dallas office, or at home.
Dr. Towolawi runs a direct primary care practice in Shoreline, but her primary care panel is full, so new menopause patients see her through a separate telehealth service. Visits are by video for women in the states she covers. Care starts with an hour-long first visit, and shorter follow-ups are booked as needed. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits and pairs it with lifestyle medicine coaching on nutrition and supplements, with secure messaging between visits. She is also board certified in lifestyle medicine. She is perimenopausal herself and speaks openly about women, especially women of color, being dismissed when they raise their symptoms.
Women's Health Associates is a seven-provider OB/GYN practice in Bentonville that handles pregnancy, gynecology and menopause in one office. Dr. Sills joined the practice's founder there in 2012, and her work centers on menopause, preventive care and gynecologic surgery. She says the menopausal transition is a particular interest of hers, and that she is working toward certification as a menopause specialist. The practice's menopause page takes the view that menopause itself does not need treating and that the treatment is for the symptoms, but it never says which hormone or non-hormone options the doctors use. Care happens in person at the Bentonville office, and new patients print a packet of forms and bring it to the first appointment.
