Takes Medicaid managed care, Covered California +3
Molly Jacobs is one of four clinicians in Open Door Gynecology, the gynecology service that runs out of the Plaza clinic in Arcata. That service treats menopause symptoms and prescribes hormone therapy, and it also handles contraception, heavy or irregular periods, pelvic pain, prolapse and PCOS. Open Door is a nonprofit community health center network on California's North Coast, so new patients start by calling its Member Services team rather than booking online. Income is checked at the visit for a sliding fee discount, and it applies even to patients who have insurance, which is part of why no fee list is published. Jacobs is also on the Plaza clinic's pregnancy and delivery panels, and the clinic runs its own lab with drop-in hours. Visits can be done by video through the patient portal, and providers can order tests and prescribe medication during a video visit.
Dr. Dombo is a board-certified OB-GYN who is going through the menopausal transition herself. She says starting hormone therapy and changing her nutrition and supplements took her from exhaustion and poor sleep back to enjoying life, and that is why she does this work. She trained in the early 2000s, when hormone therapy was widely feared, and now calls it the gold standard for symptom relief. The first visit runs 60 minutes and covers medical and gynecologic history, medications, nutrition and exercise, then a personal treatment plan. The visit also lists a nutritionist assessment, an exercise plan and mindset coaching, and follow-ups run 25 minutes. She writes publicly about why menopause hits Black women harder and how often they face barriers to care.
Nancy Siskowic is a nurse practitioner who has focused on perimenopause and menopause since the early 1990s, working on her own out of a single office. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and a hormone consult also covers nutrition, supplements, exercise, stress and osteoporosis prevention. She is a board certified psych and mental health nurse practitioner as well as a licensed psychotherapist, so she treats anxiety and depression and prescribes those medications herself. Her own writing makes a strong case for staying on hormone therapy long term, prefers the patch and other transdermal forms over pills, and rejects the lowest dose for the shortest time in favor of the lowest effective dose. She writes openly about her own breast cancer, which is the subject of her book. The office sees patients on Tuesdays by appointment only and you call to schedule rather than booking online.
Heather Pickett is a women's health nurse practitioner at a gynecology-only practice with offices in Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania. Before civilian practice she spent years as a Navy nurse, including labor and delivery work and a deployment to a NATO hospital in Afghanistan. The practice is a Biote certified provider, so hormone therapy here leans heavily on pellets placed under the skin in the office every few months. Oral progesterone is added when needed, filled at either a compounding or a regular pharmacy. Visits are billed to insurance and happen in person, and the practice says it is taking new patients.
Dr. Sharma runs a small direct primary care practice in north Wilmington, seeing patients 13 and up on a monthly membership rather than billing insurance. Women's health is her stated focus, from menstrual problems and fertility through postpartum and menopause including hormone therapy, alongside ordinary primary care for thyroid disease, diabetes and blood pressure. The first visit runs about 90 minutes and ends with a care plan, and after that members reach her directly by text, phone, video or office visit, with same or next day openings. She trained in family medicine, then did an integrative medicine fellowship at the Andrew Weil Center, and she works on nutrition, sleep, movement and stress first, using prescriptions, herbs and supplements as needed. Her yoga and Ayurveda training shapes a lot of that, and the membership includes workshops and cooking classes for families. The patient panel is full right now, so new patients sign up to be told when appointments open.
Takes Medicare Advantage, United Health Medicare Advantage
Women First of Louisville is an all-female OB/GYN group that has been in the Baptist Health medical pavilion since 1988, and Dr. Grider joined it in 1998. She still practices obstetrics alongside gynecology, so her patients run from teenagers on contraception through pregnancy and into the menopause transition. What she says she enjoys most in midlife care is walking a woman through the pros and cons of hormone therapy so the choice is her own. The practice is openly cautious about compounded bioidentical hormones and makes the point that plenty of prescription bioidenticals are not compounded at all. Hormones are prescribed as pills, patches, gels, sprays and vaginal products, and bone density screening and blood draws happen in the office. Visits are in person at the single Louisville location, you reach her care team on a direct weekday line or through the FollowMyHealth portal, and she also handles the practice's minimally invasive and robotic surgery.
Anita Stewart is a family medicine physician who sees gynecology patients at a WVU Medicine clinic in Summersville. Her own provider page lists menopause among the conditions she treats, along with heavy or irregular periods, painful sex and bladder leakage. She also does office procedures such as IUD and Nexplanon placement and tubal ligation. She holds a second clinic at the Nicholas County Health Department and serves as the local public health officer. Her board certification is in osteopathic manipulative medicine, so hands-on treatment is part of how she practices. WVU Medicine publishes nothing about what she prescribes for menopause, so that part of her care is unknown.
Dr. Andarcia is an internal medicine physician who trained in integrative and functional medicine, including the Andrew Weil fellowship at the University of Arizona. Her work centers on women's hormones, from perimenopause through menopause, and she also sees men. Visits start with testing and a look at root causes such as sleep, stress, gut health and nutrition before hormones are added. When hormones are used, she offers creams and gels, oral or sublingual forms, injections and pellets. She also prescribes testosterone for women with low libido and offers GLP-1 medication for weight. The practice sits inside a larger integrative and fitness center in Sarasota that does not bill insurance. New patients start by requesting a consultation through the site.
Aimee Feste is a nurse midwife at MAHEC Ob/Gyn Specialists, an academic teaching practice in Asheville where Ob/Gyn residents train alongside the faculty. Her provider bio says she cares for women from their first period until after menopause, plus the health events in between. She also works in the practice's Center for Pelvic and Vulvar Health, which she joined in 2020 when a longtime colleague retired, and there she sees patients with vulvar skin conditions and genital pain. Vulvar clinic patients get a call from clinical staff in the month before a first visit to go over health history and what they want from the appointment. New gynecology patients fill out an intake packet for their office, and visits are booked by phone because MAHEC's online self-scheduling only covers its family medicine patients. MAHEC discounts care by family size and income for patients who cannot pay in full.
Takes Partnership HealthPlan of California (Medi-Cal managed care)
Churn Creek Healthcare is a tribal health clinic in Redding and part of the Redding Rancheria Tribal Health System, and Cooper is one of its family practice clinicians. It opened in 2015 and serves Native American and non-Native patients across Shasta County and Trinity County. Care runs as ordinary family practice with same-day urgent care alongside it, and the clinic stays open into the early evening on weekdays. Getting in works differently from most practices. A new patient has to be assigned to this clinic as their primary clinic by their health plan before the clinic can take them, so the front desk is not where you start. The clinic publishes nothing about menopause or hormone care and Cooper has no bio on the site, so what she does for midlife patients is not described anywhere.
Alexis Phillips is a family nurse practitioner at Okemos OB/GYN, one of twelve obstetrics and gynecology offices run by University of Michigan Health-Sparrow. She is the only nurse practitioner on the Okemos team, and the other providers listed there are physicians who also work at the system's other OB/GYN offices. Care is in person at the single Okemos office, which is open weekdays. New patients start by downloading the office's own paperwork packet and calling to be scheduled, because the site has no online booking. Visits are billed to insurance, and the system publishes the plans it takes rather than what a visit costs. Her page says she became a nurse practitioner because the human body fascinates her, and she mentions yoga, crocheting and her French bulldog Winston.
This is a small concierge practice built around long, unhurried visits and a low number of patients. Dr. Greenwald focuses on perimenopause and menopause, hormone therapy and sexual health. She trained at UCSF, built her practice with Stanford Health Care, still teaches there and works on the obstetrics side at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center several days a month. Care runs through a membership, and visits can be in person or by video. She is not taking new patients right now. Two colleagues in the same practice, Dr. Nazaneen Homaifar and Dr. Sarah Isquick, are certified menopause providers and are taking new members.
Dr. Powell is a family doctor at Prevea's Luxemburg health center, a small clinic east of Green Bay that shares space with cardiology, orthopedics and physical therapy. She looks after several generations of the same families, and menopause care sits inside that ongoing primary care rather than in a separate clinic. Prevea says she is one of only two clinicians in the whole system with menopause certification, and she is the one covering it on the family medicine side. She has said that the certification matters because there are set guidelines for giving safe care, and that menopause reaches into work and mood as much as into the body. Her own line about how she practices is that listening and taking time with patients is what makes the medical advice worth anything. New patients can book by phone or through the MyPrevea portal, which is also where Prevea runs its virtual visits.
Laurel Jennings is a family medicine physician at Madison Regional Health System, the hospital and clinic serving Madison and the rural area around it. She grew up in Miller, South Dakota and came here after medical school to practice family medicine with obstetrics, and she still cares for whole families and watches generations grow up. Menopause care sits alongside her obstetrics, pediatric and preventive work rather than being a separate clinic. She became a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner in 2026 after seeing how much unproven menopause advice circulates on social media, and she was of perimenopausal age herself at the time. Her stance is to talk through what is and is not FDA approved or safe for a particular woman instead of reaching for whatever is popular, and she points out that she gets no financial benefit from the treatments she recommends. Visits are in person at the clinic on weekdays and appointments are made by phone.
Dana is a nurse midwife and a Santa Cruz native. After about a decade in corporate medicine she started Nurture to offer a more personal kind of women's care, with fertility, perimenopause and menopause as a focus. Menopause visits start with a symptom assessment and hormone lab testing. Treatment can include bioidentical hormone therapy, along with diet, activity and breathwork suggestions. She has extra training in female sexual medicine and hereditary cancer genetics, and libido is a named part of her menopause care. Most contact between visits runs through the practice's messaging portal, and visits can be in person or by video.
Dr. Maher is a general OB/GYN at Carilion's Riverside women's clinic in Roanoke who also holds the Menopause Society certification. She sees women through perimenopause and menopause alongside routine gynecology, and chronic pelvic pain is one of the conditions she lists. Before coming to Carilion she spent eight years in private practice in Philadelphia. She also teaches medical students at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. New patients book through MyChart or by phone, and video visits are only for patients she has seen in the past two years.
Damara Andreoli is a certified nurse midwife in the OB/GYN clinic at Denver Health, the city's large public hospital system. The midwife team there sees women for well visits and gynecologic care through menopause, and they work alongside the hospital's physicians. She sees patients at the main campus clinic in central Denver. Phone and video visits are offered for most gynecology appointments, but only to patients living in Colorado. New patients can book online through the hospital's scheduling system, and interpreters are available for every language.
Dr. Tran is an internist who co-runs the CGH Menopause and Sexual Health Clinic with Dr. Marcia Jones, a family physician who is also Menopause Society certified. The clinic is on the upper level of CGH's downtown Sterling office and works by appointment, in person or by video. Sexual health is as much the point here as hot flashes. The reasons the clinic lists for coming in include painful sex, low libido and recurrent urinary tract infections. Tran also belongs to the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health. She and Jones have taken questions from the community in public Facebook Live sessions for the hospital, one on the stages of menopause and one on sex and intimacy in midlife.
Katy Hoeft is a physician assistant at TMCOne's Copperstate OB/GYN office in Tucson, part of the Tucson Medical Center system. The office covers gynecology and obstetrics, and her own interest is women's health through midlife. She has worked as a PA for close to 30 years and says a patient is never just a diagnosis, so her visits start with the patient's story and leave the decision with her. Before the PA program she studied exercise and sport sciences, and she still hikes, travels and practices yoga, which is the balance she encourages in her patients too. New patients call the office to get on her schedule, and established patients book and send messages through the MyChart portal. Her provider page does not name the hormone treatments she uses.
Dr. Messore is a board-certified OB/Gyn who has focused her practice on menopausal women for more than 15 years. Visits are by telemedicine, booked online or by phone, and the office is in Miami Beach. She also directs a center for women's sexual health, so vaginal dryness, low libido, pain with sex and sex after cancer or hysterectomy get real attention here. She prefers FDA-approved bio-identical hormones from a regular pharmacy and says custom compounding is no longer needed. She does not recommend pellets and explains why. The practice also sells and recommends vaginal moisturizers, arousal gels and pelvic floor devices, and a health coach is part of the team.
Dr. White is an OB/GYN with Wellstar who sees patients at the group's Douglasville office and has been with the system since 2016. Menopause is the one condition her Wellstar profile lists as a focus. New patients can book a perimenopause or menopause visit online through MyChart, and a video visit is one of the options. She trained at Morehouse School of Medicine and is affiliated with Wellstar Douglas and Wellstar Cobb hospitals. Patient reviews often say she listens closely and walks through results and options step by step.
Dr. King is an OB-GYN who has cared for women in the Rogue Valley since 2002 and now runs her own women's health clinic in Medford. She started in obstetrics and delivered thousands of babies before moving into gynecology, fertility care and minimally invasive surgery. The clinic treats perimenopause and menopause with estrogen and progesterone, bioidentical hormones, vaginal estrogen and non-hormonal options, along with advice on diet and exercise. Sexual health is a particular interest, and she started a separate practice to focus on sexual medicine. New patients fill out an online intake form and staff call back to book. The clinic also hosts evening talks on perimenopause and menopause for the community.
Dr. Queen trained in emergency medicine and spent about twenty years in Bay Area hospitals before opening her own concierge practice. Menopause care runs as a six or twelve month membership with an evaluation, follow-up visits, secure messaging and an in-office bone density ultrasound scan. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits and pairs it with functional medicine and nutrition, and two nutritionists work with the practice. GLP-1 weight medication can be part of the plan for women whose metabolism shifted in midlife. The practice does not bill insurance but gives free superbills for out-of-network claims. Visits can be in person in Mill Valley or by video.
Dr. Hannon is an OB-GYN who runs this Inner Richmond practice with her father, Dr. Ziyad Hannon, and a nurse practitioner who is also a Menopause Society certified practitioner. The practice describes its care as trauma-informed, and Dr. Hannon is an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ patients, including gender-affirming surgery. For menopause they prescribe patches, gels, pills and vaginal estrogen, with micronized progesterone, and they also offer nonhormonal options such as Veozah. Testosterone and other libido medications are available when low desire is the main concern. Labs are used only when they are clinically needed. Visits are in person, and new patients can request an appointment online or by phone.
