Anna is a nurse midwife who sees patients through Midi Health, a national virtual clinic. She came to menopause care at Stanford Health Care, where she found midlife patients had stopped raising their symptoms because they had been dismissed so often. She earned her Menopause Society certification and says she learned most by listening to her patients. Her stated area of expertise is vaginal health, including dryness and painful sex. Every visit is by video. A new patient fills in a short questionnaire that the clinician reads before the first visit.

Jennifer Soper is a women's health nurse practitioner who sees patients by video through Midi Health, a national virtual menopause practice. She spent 25 years as a labor and delivery nurse before becoming a nurse practitioner. She says estrogen therapy changed her own life when hot flashes started at 50, and that is why she moved into menopause care. Visits are billed to insurance or paid per visit, with no subscription. You can ask for her by name through the Book a Visit with Me link on her Midi page, though that can mean fewer open times than booking with any clinician.
Jennifer Tagatz sees patients through Midi Health, a national virtual clinic for perimenopause and menopause. Every visit is by video, and Midi's own clinician page names her and has her bio. She spent 20 years providing OB/GYN care at Kaiser Permanente before joining. She says she saw menopausal patients there who had no good source of education, and then went through her own hormone transition in her forties. Her mother was an OB/GYN nurse and her father a fertility specialist, so women's health was dinner table talk. Care at Midi can include hormone and non-hormone prescriptions, labs, supplements and weight medication. New patients book a half-hour first visit online, with short follow-ups after.
Stephanie Hawkins sees patients through Midi Health, a national virtual clinic for perimenopause and menopause. Every visit is by video, and Midi's site names her on its clinician list with her own bio. She has been a nurse since 1992 and a nurse practitioner since 1996, and she is certified in both family practice and women's health. She became a Certified Menopause Practitioner because she saw midlife as one of the hardest stretches in women's lives. Midi starts with a half-hour first visit and books short follow-ups as often as needed. Care plans can include hormone and non-hormone prescriptions, labs, and weight medication, and video visits have to happen while you are in your home state.
Dr. Schultz co-founded this small concierge internal medicine practice in Westmont with Dr. Cindy Lagone. It is a primary care practice for adults, and menopause care sits within her general internal medicine work. Her main clinical interests are cholesterol, blood pressure and heart disease risk, and she also works in obesity medicine. An annual membership covers visits, virtual care and messaging with your doctor. Panels are kept small, so new patients start with a meet and greet and may join a waitlist when her panel is full. The practice says plainly that it is not integrative or functional medicine, and it keeps close ties to Northwestern Medicine for specialist referrals and hospital care.
A solo direct primary care practice in Fort Worth caring for all ages, whose physician has a stated special interest in perimenopause and menopause and holds a Menopause Society certificate. A flat monthly membership covers unlimited office visits plus phone, text and video access, with hormone therapy and weight management included and labs, prescriptions and imaging arranged at posted wholesale prices. Alongside menopause care she manages chronic disease, acute illness, preventive care and in-office procedures. Her own writing holds that perimenopause is diagnosed from symptom pattern and menstrual history rather than routine hormone testing, and weighs hormone therapy, non-hormonal medication and lifestyle measures case by case.
Claire Walker founded Candescent Health and Wellness in South Bend and runs it as a women's health practice for the Michiana area. She is a nurse midwife and says she went into midwifery to get patients taking an active role in their own healthcare. Menopause and perimenopause care sits alongside gynecology, sexual health, urinary incontinence treatment and medical weight loss, so one visit can cover more than one of those. Pelvic exams are done with trauma informed care, and consent is checked at each step of the exam. Her stance on hormones is open, and the practice says most patients are candidates for hormone replacement even with a personal or family history of cancer. The clinic runs a monthly menopause support group for patients and their partners, and appointments can be in person or by video.
Live Hearty is a small cash-style wellness clinic in Stuart that Dr. Libman started with a business partner who is a lawyer. Hormone therapy for menopause sits alongside IV therapy, medical weight loss and cosmetic injections. She is board certified in both internal medicine and emergency medicine and worked in local emergency rooms before opening the clinic. The site says she weighs each woman's risks first and aims for the safest form and dose, with regular monitoring after that. She suggests listing your symptoms, with the worst first, and bringing your history and medication list to the first visit. Visits are in person and by appointment only, and new patients start by sending a request through the site's form.
Dr. Kim runs a small general gynecology office in Saginaw where menopause management sits alongside routine exams, contraception and gynecologic surgery. Her site says she handles every service herself, from pap smears to menopause treatment, so you see the doctor rather than being handed off. She also treats osteoporosis, from screening through to treatment. The office has in-house vaginal laser treatment for dryness, painful sex and leaking after menopause, mostly run by her nurse practitioner, who started out in urology. Visits are in person only and booked by phone. The office is closed on Fridays and keeps a short lunchtime slot for people who can't come in during the workday.
Ratelle is a women's health nurse practitioner in the obstetrics and gynecology office of Montage Medical Group, the physician group owned by Montage Health in Monterey. The office covers gynecologic care at every age alongside full pregnancy and birth care, and it lists menopause symptom management among the services at that location. Her own bio says she treats sexual and reproductive health as central to overall health, and that she spends time on education so patients can decide for themselves. She moved to Monterey from Vermont in 2020. Care runs through the health system rather than a private office, so you book by calling the office or by requesting a visit in MyChart. New patients print and fill out a registration form plus a separate obstetrics and gynecology history packet before the first visit, or arrive fifteen minutes early to do it there.
She is the only OB-GYN at Intermountain Health's East Crossroads Clinic in Aurora, so the women's health care there is hers. Alongside general gynecology and obstetrics she takes menopause visits through Intermountain's menopause program, which is built for women roughly 35 to 65 with perimenopausal or postmenopausal symptoms. You fill in a symptom questionnaire first, then get 30 to 60 minutes to go through symptoms and leave with a care plan, and the program says a physical exam usually is not needed. Follow-ups are half an hour, and the program runs both video and in-office appointments. She works with FDA-approved hormone therapy and non-hormonal medication, and adds lifestyle and wellness counseling. She grew up in Parker, came back to Denver for her residency at Saint Joseph Hospital, and her other main interest is minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
Medford Women's Clinic is an OB/GYN group on State Street in Medford, with physicians and nurse practitioners working side by side. Kathryn Stringer joined in 2014 after close to a decade as a primary care provider, and she is a nurse-midwife as well as a family nurse practitioner. She sees women through perimenopause, menopause and the years after, and hormone therapy is one of the gynecology services the clinic lists. Her stated approach is that most health problems can be managed in more than one way, so she lays out the choices and lets a patient's own preferences and goals decide. She studied cultural anthropology before nursing, and she says she tries to model the physical and emotional self-care she asks of her patients. Care is in person, appointments are made by calling the office, and new patients bring a completed gynecology questionnaire to the first visit.
Giese has been an OB/GYN at Kaiser Permanente's Delta Fair Medical Offices in Antioch since she finished her residency in 2003. She works only in the outpatient clinic now and does outpatient gyn procedures, after years of labor and delivery and gynecologic surgery in the hospital. Menopause and midlife health is one of the topics she names as common in her practice, along with hormone therapy for menopause symptoms. Kaiser prescribes FDA-approved bioidentical estradiol and progesterone from its own pharmacies and advises against compounded hormone prescriptions, so that is the route to hormones here. She grew up in the East Bay and sees patients in Spanish, and she is board certified in lifestyle medicine on top of obstetrics and gynecology. She is also the physician site lead for the Delta Fair building, which means she works with every department in it.
Dr. Frisch is an endocrinologist in Ridgewood who treats perimenopause and menopause alongside thyroid, diabetes and weight problems. She is also board certified in obesity medicine, and before medical school she worked at Merck researching estrogen receptors. It is a small practice that books long visits, and patients can reach their doctor directly by phone and email. The first visit is in person, and some follow-ups can be done by video. She checks bone health as part of menopause care and treats osteoporosis when needed. She speaks Spanish and Hungarian.
Banner Peak Health is a four physician concierge practice in Walnut Creek, and Klein is the one who carries the Menopause Society certification. Care runs on an annual membership that covers unlimited visits and direct access to your own doctor by cell phone at any hour. New members start with a phone call to the practice director, then an unhurried meeting with the physician they would see, then a baseline assessment that can run two hours. Writing about perimenopause, Klein says she rules out thyroid problems, IBS, SIBO and gastroparesis before she looks at hormones, because the symptom cluster gets missed for years while a woman is sent from one specialist to the next. For treatment she describes an estrogen patch with oral progesterone, sometimes a progesterone IUD for endometrial protection, and a small amount of testosterone when it helps. She spent ten years in internal medicine at John Muir Medical Center and left because that setting gave her no time to be present with patients.
Dr. Bianchi is an OB-GYN at the Marshfield Medical Center clinics in Iron Mountain, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Menopause care is one of the types of care her profile lists, next to pregnancy and general gynecology, so menopause visits sit inside a broad OB-GYN practice rather than a separate menopause clinic. Her bio says she manages menopausal symptoms and also treats abnormal uterine bleeding, sexual health concerns and pelvic organ prolapse. The women's health department she works in names hormone therapy and bone density screening as part of its menopause care. She describes her approach as listening to the concern, doing her best to find an explanation, and then offering evidence-based options. She trained in osteopathic medicine and did her residency in Michigan, and she is raising three children with her husband, a captain in the Air Force.
Barbara Dougherty is a nurse practitioner at YoungerMeMD, a hormone and longevity practice in Conshohocken. The monthly membership is charged on top of the cost of treatment and does not include medication. The intake fee covers baseline lab work, which is drawn at Quest only and needs 8 to 12 hours of fasting. Beyond hormone care the practice also offers peptides, low dose naltrexone and rapamycin.
Sacramento Women's Health is a seven-physician OB/GYN partnership on Fair Oaks Boulevard, running in the same practice line since 1960. Dr. Mikacich joined in 2009 and is the one the practice names as its menopause and weight loss specialist, and she is also a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. The services list says menopause management here uses FDA approved bioidenticals. She finished a master's in public health at UC Berkeley in 2024 focused on food and nutrition, and she describes her own practice as centered on menopause and metabolic health. She has been a medical consultant for Grey's Anatomy since 2005 and co-founded a perinatal mental health program in Denver before moving home to Sacramento. New patients call the office and bring a completed paper packet to the first visit, and she speaks fluent Spanish.
BIOHARMONY Health is a two doctor practice in Edina that Dr. Casserly co-founded after a decade as a full spectrum OB/GYN, delivering babies and doing gynecologic surgery. Care comes as three or six month programs rather than one off visits, and each program covers lab testing, supplements and monthly visits with your doctor. New patients can start with a free discovery call, then an hour long wellness consult that goes through medical history and what she wants from care before anyone enrolls. Hormone therapy is used when it is indicated and sits alongside nutrition, gut health and lifestyle work. The practice does not offer hormone pellets and does not do pap smears. Dr. Casserly went looking for training beyond her conventional OB/GYN education after her own health pushed her to learn more, and she sees patients in the office inside the Guided Health building.
Attune is a small practice run by two nurse-midwives who treat perimenopause and menopause, plus routine gynecology. Kiyomi moved from full-scope midwifery into menopause care and also sees women for pelvic and sexual health concerns. New patients get a one-hour first visit, with a follow-up about six to eight weeks after starting treatment and then check-ins every few months to once a year. They prescribe FDA-approved bioidentical estradiol and progesterone, low-dose testosterone for low libido, and non-hormonal options, and will use a compounding pharmacy if you prefer. They don't test hormone levels to adjust estrogen, and testosterone needs an in-person start with baseline labs. The Wicker Park office is inside a massage therapy suite up a flight of stairs with no elevator, and video visits are open to anyone in Illinois.
Mulberry OBGYN is a solo practice on Centre Street in Lower Manhattan, started by Dr. Nyein so that patients see the same physician at every visit. Perimenopause and menopause are the center of the practice, alongside sexual health, surgical gynecology and a concierge pregnancy program. He begins with a long history of cycles and symptoms rather than a single blood test, and uses labs and imaging only where they add something. For hormones he favors regulated FDA-approved preparations and advises against compounded protocols and pellets, and he will consider testosterone only for diagnosed low desire. Because he is also a minimally invasive and robotic surgeon, he can work up abnormal bleeding in his own office with ultrasound, endometrial sampling or hysteroscopy. He is an osteopathic physician who offers hands-on osteopathic manipulative treatment to some patients, and he is the next generation of a family that has cared for women in New York for more than fifty years.
Dr. Meagan runs a virtual-only menopause practice for women who live in California. She turned to perimenopause care after nearly 20 years in medicine, when more and more patients, friends and family kept asking her about it. Care starts with an hour-long video visit where she goes over your symptoms, past care and prescriptions, then sets a plan with follow-up visits to adjust it. She prescribes hormone therapy in whatever form you prefer. She also offers weight care with DEXA scans and GLP-1 medication, plus ketamine and psychedelic medicine for sleep, anxiety and mood. She does not act as your primary doctor or gynecologist, so you still need your own for exams and pap smears.
Dr. Murauski directs the hormone and longevity programs at Case Integrative Health, a multi-provider integrative practice with offices in Chicago's West Loop and Hinsdale. He trained in biomedical engineering before medicine and describes his approach as looking at how the body's systems work together. Care starts with a discovery call with a patient coordinator, then an hour-long first consult and a follow-up four to six weeks later to go over labs and set the full plan. Seeing him directly means joining his Engineering Wellness membership, which has limited spots and a waitlist. Patients who don't join are seen by the program's physician assistants, who work under his oversight. Follow-up visits can be in person or remote.
Mercedes Deal founded Rêver Wellness, a private-pay clinic in Coral Gables that blends hormone care with skin treatments and weight care. Hormone therapy there is only available through a paid membership, and the tiers that include it also cover follow-up visits and lab work. Care starts with baseline labs and a first visit of about two hours, then labs are repeated every three months while the plan is adjusted. She prescribes bioidentical estradiol, progesterone and testosterone for women in perimenopause and menopause. She is a family nurse practitioner with extra training in functional medicine and peptide therapy, and the clinic also runs a thyroid and adrenal workup. New patients start with an intake questionnaire and a member of the team replies within a day or two.
