Kim Heifner runs a small virtual menopause practice and handles her own patient panel with no assistants. She spent 26 years in acute care, much of it in emergency medicine, before her own perimenopause pushed her into menopause care. Care is a concierge membership with a six-month minimum. It starts with an hour-long first visit and a follow-up about a month later to go over labs, then regular check-ins while doses are adjusted and quarterly visits once things are stable, with direct messaging in between. She pays close attention to heart and bone risk and also treats vaginal dryness, low desire and urinary leakage with hormonal and non-hormonal options. Women outside Missouri and Iowa can book a one-time education consult with her, but it comes without prescriptions.
Dr. Han sees gynecology patients only and has narrowed her practice to women going through menopause. She says many of them come to her after feeling unheard or dismissed elsewhere. She describes care as a partnership where the patient has a voice in decisions. She works within Orange Coast Women's Medical Group, a large OB/GYN group with offices across south Orange County, and she sees patients in Irvine and Laguna Hills. The group's menopause page describes hormone therapy as pills, patches or vaginal creams, and lists non-hormonal options too. She earned a Master of Public Health at Harvard in 2023, focused on how social connection shapes health habits.
Michele Adams runs a small solo practice focused on perimenopause and menopause, with office visits in Williamsville and video visits across New York. Every new menopause patient starts with a one-hour evaluation covering history, symptoms, heart and metabolic risk, labs and a written plan. After that you can pay per follow-up or sign up for six months of structured care while hormone therapy is started and adjusted. She is openly in favor of bioidentical hormone therapy and also uses non-hormonal medications, diet and supplements. Her background started in dietetics more than 30 years ago, so food and nutrition are a big part of her visits. She also has functional medicine training and says she has been through many of the same symptoms herself.
Dr. Evans practices at a Novant Health clinic on Daniel Island that handles menopause and sexual wellness only. Three clinicians work there, and a new patient gets a 40 minute first visit. Her own focus is hormone change and sexual health, including pain with intimacy, low libido and recurrent vaginal infections. The clinic prescribes hormone therapy and non hormonal treatment, and it also works on bladder and pelvic floor symptoms. Visits can be virtual or in person, though the clinic asks patients to come in for testosterone compound refills. She says most women never raise sexual health problems with a provider, and she built her practice around giving them the chance to.
Mint Health is an integrative functional medicine gynecology practice in Baton Rouge where Dr. Buchert sees patients alongside a nurse practitioner. Both have been Institute for Functional Medicine certified practitioners since 2017. As of October 2025 every patient, existing and new, must hold an annual Integrative Functional Wellness Membership, so routine gynecologic care, hormone replacement and functional medicine all run through that one model. Prospective patients can book a Discovery Visit with either provider to decide before committing, and membership is capped, with a waiting list once capacity is reached. Dr. Buchert is a board-certified OB-GYN who also operates, including endometrial ablation, laparoscopy and robotic hysterectomy.
Candice Jones runs a small hormone and weight loss practice in Summerville and sees women by video anywhere in South Carolina. Care starts with a virtual hormone consultation of up to an hour, then labs, then follow-up visits about every three months. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone in several forms, and writes about vaginal estrogen as the first choice for dryness and painful sex. Pellets are placed in her office, but only after an initial consultation. Her own writing is frank that pellets are compounded, not FDA approved, and can't be adjusted once they are in. She started in medicine at 16 filing charts in a primary care office and worked her way up through nursing before becoming a nurse practitioner.
Dr. Seed runs her menopause care through a separate cash-pay service called Empowered Menopause, alongside the direct primary care practice she founded in Bar Harbor in 2015. New patients start with a 45-minute one-on-one menopause consult, in the office or by video, which comes with three months of direct messaging and can be credited toward her ongoing Empowered Menopause Care Plan. She is not taking new primary care members herself, so she works alongside your own primary care provider. Her patient materials favor FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone over custom-compounded hormones. She also runs a monthly group series on menopause topics with recorded sessions, and she served in the Peace Corps in Côte d'Ivoire before medical school.
Nova Wellness is a small physician-led practice in Roseland where Dr. Knight leads the women's health side and a preventive cardiologist leads the heart side. She sees women through perimenopause and menopause, and her plans usually go beyond hormones into bone density scanning, advanced lipid and inflammation testing, and body composition work. She prescribes bioidentical estradiol, most often as a patch, gel or cream, with oral micronized progesterone, and will use vaginal estrogen on its own when systemic hormones are not right. Her site is direct about limits, saying hormone therapy is not the answer for everyone and that she will tell you when it is not. Sexual health is treated as a real part of the visit, including for breast cancer survivors with genitourinary symptoms who have been told they cannot use any estrogen. Nova does not take over primary care, so you keep your own doctor for routine screening and refills, and new patients start with a short call about services and cost.
A virtual women's specialty care platform for complex hormonal, metabolic and gynecological conditions, where menopause and perimenopause sit alongside PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid disease, fibroids and primary ovarian insufficiency. Each patient is assigned one medical provider, either an obstetrician-gynecologist, an endocrinologist or a women's health nurse practitioner, plus a registered dietitian, and stays with both. Care starts with a 30-minute medical visit and a 45-minute nutrition visit, broad hormonal and metabolic labs, then check-ins every week or two. Prescribing is optional and patient-directed, covering transdermal and oral estradiol, micronized progesterone, a non-hormonal drug for hot flashes, weight medication and thyroid replacement, and a separate arm ships custom-compounded medication to patients.
Kim Mellick is a family nurse practitioner at a small two-provider family practice in Jackson that also does aesthetics. She sees women in perimenopause and menopause and also offers general primary care for adults, so one clinician can handle both. Visits are in person at the Maple Way office, and new patients call to book and bring intake forms to the first visit. Before this she spent years in orthopedics, urgent care and reproductive health. For more than a decade she has also worked at the county health department's sexual and reproductive health clinic, caring for people without insurance.
Dr. Welsh is an OB-GYN at Valley Medical Group's gynecology office in Ridgewood, part of the Valley Health System. Menopause is one of the conditions her bio lists, along with pregnancy, fibroids, PCOS and infertility, so a woman in midlife sees her in a general gynecology practice rather than a menopause clinic. Care runs the way a hospital group runs. Visits are in the Ridgewood office, insurance is billed, and appointments are made by phone or through Valley's online scheduling. She chairs Women's Services for Valley Medical Group and speaks on maternal mortality and morbidity. She says she grew up in an underserved area and saw the gap in care there, and that is what pushed her into medicine. Her page does not say what she prescribes for menopause.
Dr. Parker is a naturopathic physician in Bellevue who has focused on hormone therapy for women in perimenopause and menopause for about ten years. Many women come to her for a second or third opinion on a hormone plan that isn't working. She prescribes bioidentical hormones with a strong preference for FDA-approved products, and she won't use pellets but does help women recovering from pellets given elsewhere. Her visits happen by video for patients in Washington, and new patients stop by the clinic so staff can take vitals and body composition, with in-person visits also offered in Friday Harbor. She is not a primary care doctor and wants every patient to keep one. New patients currently join a waitlist, with openings listed for spring 2027.
Lara Simondi is a nurse midwife who spent more than two decades on the midwifery service at Brigham and Women's before opening her own med spa in Milton. She added menopause care after going through menopause herself, and it now runs as a separate service alongside the aesthetics work. The first visit is a one-hour consult by Zoom or in person in Milton, followed by a shorter visit to go over the plan. She mostly prescribes FDA-approved hormones as pills, patches, gels, rings or injections, and also offers non-hormonal options. The practice also places bioidentical hormone pellets. She speaks French and Spanish.
Midlife Wellness is a small virtual practice that only treats women in perimenopause and menopause, plus those with premature ovarian insufficiency. Stacy is one of its two nurse practitioners and spent more than ten years in intensive care before moving into internal medicine and then reproductive health. Care starts with an hour-long new patient visit, and shorter follow-ups are used to adjust treatment over time. The practice prescribes FDA-approved hormones only, testosterone gel among them, and follows Menopause Society guidelines. It also treats midlife hair loss and offers non-hormonal prescriptions for women who can't or don't want to take hormones. The founders started it after feeling rushed and brushed off at their own doctors' offices.
Dr. Tunson runs a virtual longevity medicine practice and spent about 14 years as an emergency physician before starting it. Women who want to focus only on hormones can buy a hormone package with labs, two hour-long visits and prescription management when it's indicated, or book a single hormone consultation. She also offers a test that estimates ovarian age and when menopause is likely to arrive. Her wider program is a multi-year plan built on extensive labs, genetics and imaging, and it is meant to sit alongside your regular primary care doctor rather than replace it. The practice is cash only and has opted out of Medicare, though Medicare patients are welcome to pay privately.
Ginger Bennett is a nurse practitioner and midwife who has cared for women in Moultrie since 2002. She works alongside Dr. Betty Koukis in a small gynecology office run by and for women. The practice lists menopause counseling and treatment and hormone replacement therapy among its services, and says it uses saliva testing to guide hormone therapy. Osteoporosis screening and treatment is also offered, along with in-office gynecologic procedures. New patients can request an appointment online and print intake forms before the first visit. The office also runs a spa side with massage, facials, Botox and IV hydration.
Arcadia Women's Wellness is an insurance-based women's health practice in Phoenix, co-founded by two Menopause Society Certified nurse practitioners who worked together for almost a decade before opening it. Alongside perimenopause and menopause care it runs a full gynecology practice with well-woman visits, IUD placement and removal, endometrial biopsy, colposcopy, vulvar biopsy and in-office ultrasound, and it treats endometriosis, fibroids, PCOS and chronic vulvar skin conditions. Visits start with a conversation about symptoms, history and what the patient has already tried, and the practice deliberately walks patients through hormone terminology so they can choose. An optional membership adds after-hours provider messaging, longer and earlier or later appointments and priority scheduling, but is not required to be seen.
She is a family nurse practitioner with a focus in obstetrics and gynecology, working in a small OB/GYN and urogynecology office in Ocala. The practice lists hormone replacement therapy as a service and describes using synthetic or bio-identical hormones, with progestogen added for women who still have a uterus. It does not name one clinician as the menopause provider, so what she personally prescribes is not spelled out on the site. New patients can book a visit online, and care is in the office. She worked as a registered nurse before becoming a nurse practitioner. She is a US Army veteran and currently commands her local AMVETS post.
Dr. Korzen is a board-certified OB/GYN at a large Chicago-area group, and she sees patients at its Elgin and South Elgin offices. Menopause and hormone therapy are a stated special interest for her, alongside routine gynecology and prenatal care. The practice offers hormone therapy and other options for perimenopause and menopause symptoms. Menopause and perimenopause visits can be done by video in a web browser, with no app to download. She has been in practice since 2004 and puts weight on patient education and shared decision-making. Care is billed through insurance like any gynecology visit.
Peninsula Doctor is a small concierge family medicine practice in Menlo Park, and each physician there keeps a panel of about 100 patients. Dr. Kim is the clinician the practice names for perimenopause and menopause, and she works through hormone therapy options with women and handles the monitoring that follows. Her menopause care sits inside regular primary care, so one visit can cover bone density, heart risk and the weight and metabolism changes of midlife. Membership runs for a year and covers visits, in-office blood draws and most in-office lab work, plus twelve visits with the practice nutritionist. Members can reach their physician by phone, text or video, and the practice recommends coming into the office when an exam or testing would help. Two things to know before joining are that the practice does not prescribe ongoing controlled substances, and that anyone who is Medicare eligible signs a private Medicare contract to become a member.
Kandiss Inman leads menopause care at Illumination Women's Health, a small nurse practitioner owned clinic in Boise. She sees women in the Boise office or by video anywhere in Idaho or Montana. Her approach is evidence based hormone therapy, and she uses testosterone only in select cases backed by research. Women who can't or would rather not take hormones can get non-hormonal treatment instead. She also runs a medical weight program for midlife women, and a psychiatric nurse practitioner on the team handles mood concerns like anxiety and PMDD. She spent over two decades as a registered nurse before becoming a nurse practitioner.
Chronis is a family medicine doctor at the Cedars-Sinai primary care office on South Fairmount Avenue in Pasadena, which sits inside Huntington Health. Her group's list of doctors taking new patients marks her as a certified menopause practitioner, and she is the only one of the six doctors at that office carrying that note. A colleague at the same office is marked as a hormone replacement specialist, so midlife patients there have two doctors to pick from. She sees patients in the office and by video, and a new patient can book an office visit, a physical or a video visit online. Her Cedars-Sinai profile carries no biography and no list of conditions, so nothing is published about how she handles hormone therapy. Her online booking showed limited availability for a first visit.
Wendy Vaks sees women at a small Allentown hormone practice led by reproductive endocrinologist Albert Peters, a colleague she has known for close to 20 years. She started in family practice and urgent care, then spent years in OB-GYN at St. Luke's and Grand View Health, and she left the large networks because they limited the time she could spend with each patient. She describes her approach as laying out a menu of options rather than a single plan. First visits run 60 to 90 minutes and cover medical history, diet and fitness before specialty testing is ordered, and you leave with a follow-up already booked to go through the results. The practice tests hormones through blood, saliva and urine, and it prescribes bioidentical hormones as capsules, creams, patches, injections or Biote pellets, with return visits at about three months and then every six months after that. Appointments are requested through a form on the site and can be in person or virtual by video or phone.
Radiant Women's Health is a small concierge practice in Menlo Park where Dr. Kassis is the gynecologist. Care runs on a membership, so the fee covers her visits and members can call, text or email her directly. New members start with a free consultation, then a long intake visit with lab work, then ongoing appointments in the office or by video. She trained in obstetrics and gynecology at Stanford and later spent eight years at a county hospital doing high volume surgery and obstetrics. When she joined Palo Alto Medical Foundation in 2019 she trained under a longtime menopause specialist who handed over her practice on retiring, and she began having perimenopause symptoms herself around the same time. She has taken extra coursework on hormone therapy for breast cancer survivors, and the practice keeps a dietitian and a pelvic floor physical therapist in house.
