Taylor Mahtook is a physician assistant with Our Lady of Lourdes Physician Group in Lafayette, where she sees women for primary care and works in the group's menopause clinic. The clinic calls itself the region's first multi-discipline menopause service and takes patients from age 15 up, with a gynecologist, a nurse practitioner and a dietitian working in the same building. Both hormone and non-hormone treatment for perimenopause and menopause are offered there, labs are drawn on site, and new patients can book with her online. Mahtook also manages the long-running conditions that often sit alongside midlife hormone changes, such as thyroid disease, osteoporosis and high blood pressure. She came to women's health after working in urgent care clinics and an emergency department. She asks patients to write down their questions before a visit, and says a good history and real listening get her most of the way to a diagnosis.
Mbwidiffu Dibal founded this Newark practice as the menopause arm of her family medicine clinic, Oasis Family Wellness, and she runs a sister hormone clinic out of the same office. Care spans perimenopause to postmenopause and covers hormone testing, hormone and non-hormonal medication, and low-dose vaginal estrogen for genitourinary symptoms. She also handles the midlife risks that sit alongside it, with bone density and cardiometabolic screening and weight management, and she takes referrals from other clinicians for thyroid and adrenal problems. The clinic runs EmpowerRF in office, a radiofrequency and pelvic floor stimulation treatment aimed at vaginal dryness, laxity and urinary leakage. Her hormone training came from two physicians with decades in hormone optimization, and she says she pays attention to how a patient feels day to day rather than only the lab numbers. She has been a nurse practitioner in Delaware since 2012, worked at ChristianaCare and Westside Family Healthcare, and writes about how being Nigerian American shapes her attention to culture and family in a patient's health.
Mary Newberry Davis is a certified nurse midwife at MarinHealth OB/GYN in Greenbrae, a MarinHealth Medical Network clinic. She has done midwifery and women's health work in the Bay Area for over twenty years and has been at MarinHealth since 2011. Most of her practice is birth care and gynecological care across the lifespan, and her bio says she also helps midlife patients work through the menopause transition with evidence-based information. She trained at UCSF and is a NARM Informed Professional, so she pays attention to how hard life experiences affect health, and she looks for the cause of a problem rather than treating symptoms alone. Visits happen in person at the Greenbrae office or by video, and the clinic publishes a new-patient registration form and an online appointment request. MarinHealth also runs a separate menopause clinic under another physician, and she is not on that team, so menopause care with her happens inside the regular OB/GYN practice.
West Coast OB/GYN is a group practice with offices in San Diego, Carlsbad and La Mesa, and Dr. French is one of the providers who work only out of the La Mesa office. The group does full obstetric and gynecologic care, and its gynecology list includes menopause and hormone replacement therapy. Her own bio says she follows women from adolescence through childbirth to menopause and beyond, and that she is drawn to minimally invasive surgery. She came to women's health first as a counselor for rape and domestic violence survivors and for women with eating disorders, then decided to go to medical school. New patients download registration and history forms from the site and send them in ahead of the visit. The practice keeps some evening hours and draws blood in the office.
WesternU Health is the teaching clinic of Western University of Health Sciences, and its Pomona center is where she works as a board certified family physician. Primary care there sits alongside specialty clinics in endocrinology, rheumatology and osteopathic manipulative medicine. Appointments run longer than at most offices because students and interns train there under supervision, and the clinic says that extra time is so patients can be heard. New patients fill out a registration form online or bring it to their first visit, and results and messages run through the OCHIN patient portal. Most of her own work now is medical education, as associate dean of clinical education at the osteopathic college and director of its health justice and equity track.
SPOKEmed is Michelle Middleton's own telemedicine practice, which she founded in 2024 after years in orthopedics and a move into weight and hormone care in 2020. She is the only clinician there, so every consultation and treatment plan is hers, and patients can reach her directly between visits. Care starts with a short exploration call, then lab work and a plan that may mix hormone therapy, weight medication, nutrition and coaching. She prefers FDA-approved bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, keeps compounded troches and creams for the cases where nothing commercial fits, and refuses pellets because the dose cannot be adjusted or removed. Advanced testing such as DUTCH hormone panels, stool analysis and genetic reports is available when symptoms are confusing, though she says most women can start hormone therapy on symptoms and history alone. Prescription care runs in Florida and New York, while the coaching side is open to women anywhere in the country.
Dr. Howe is a board certified OB/GYN at a small Newport Beach practice she runs with a second OB/GYN and several physician assistants. The practice covers the full span of gynecology, and perimenopause and menopause care sit alongside hormone testing, osteoporosis and bladder problems. Her particular interest is chronic pelvic pain, which she researched at UCLA and treats both medically and surgically. Before moving to Orange County she chaired an OB/GYN department in Ventura County and built a clinic there that included menopause management. She speaks Spanish. Visits are in the office and billed through insurance, and patients without insurance pay at the time of service.
Dr. Moore is a family physician at Munson Healthcare's Frankfort Medical Group, the system's family medicine office in Frankfort, on the same Park Avenue site as Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital. She sees patients of every age from newborns to older adults, and menopause care is one of the two interests her Munson profile names. Before medicine she worked in Anchorage, Alaska as a geophysicist reading seismic data, then moved back to Michigan for medical school. She finished family medicine residency in 2025, so she is early in practice. Care runs through a hospital system that bills insurance, so this is ordinary family-medicine office care rather than a separate menopause program. New patients book by calling the office, and once you are established you can book in person or video visits online.
Dr. Khamvongsa is a gynecologist and urogynecologist who runs a multispecialty women's practice in the Medical Arts West Tower in Kendall. He prescribes bioidentical hormone therapy for perimenopause and menopause, and he also treats mood symptoms with non-hormonal medication when that is the main complaint. His urogynecology training means bladder leakage, prolapse and painful sex can be handled in the same office as hormone care. He is a fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health and sees many patients for low libido and vaginal dryness. He is a retired Navy commander, and he and his office staff speak Spanish, with French also available from him. New patients request an appointment through a short form on the website.
Brooke Anderson is a family nurse practitioner at a Temecula clinic that is mostly chiropractic, spinal decompression and regenerative medicine. Her own page says she manages perimenopause and menopause, and that treatment can include bioidentical hormone therapy, hormone testing and non-hormonal options. She became a nurse practitioner in 2024 after more than 20 years in healthcare. A first visit is a consultation of 60 to 90 minutes with a full history and exams or lab work. The clinic takes a functional medicine approach and says it aims to help people without surgery or prescription drugs. The site describes office visits only.
Chun co-founded this two-doctor gynecology practice in Laurel Village and still sees patients there. She says what drew her to the field is following one woman through her whole life, from childhood through the reproductive years and into postmenopause, and her practice runs that broad. Care is in person at the California Street office, and new patients start by phone and by filling in the registration and gynecology intake forms the site posts. The practice takes a firm line on compounded bioidentical hormones, saying the doses are not regulated so a woman may not get a consistent amount, and it prefers the few bioidentical hormones made by regulated manufacturers. For dryness and painful sex the office prescribes topical estrogen as a ring, a tablet or a cream. Both doctors speak Mandarin and Cantonese, and the second office at Daniel Burnham Court has closed so everything now runs out of Laurel Village.
Dr. Berger is an endocrinologist who runs a small cash-pay practice in Boca Raton. Menopause care sits alongside her work on thyroid disease, PCOS, fertility and diabetes, so she sees women at several life stages. Her site says hormone therapy with estrogen, with or without progesterone, is an option for suitable women, and that testosterone can be used safely in women too. She says each prescribing decision follows a careful talk about risks and benefits. The practice also works with a nutritionist and can connect patients with an exercise trainer. Women who saw her at her previous group practice still fill out the new patient forms.
Turning Point is a small integrative practice with offices in Columbia and Annapolis, run as a family medicine office that works in functional medicine alongside conventional care. Lynn Dudley is the clinician the practice puts forward for hormone care, and she sees women for menopause management and metabolic health. Hormone plans start with a consultation and detailed labs, then get adjusted over the first six to twelve weeks as symptoms change. She prescribes bioidentical hormones in several forms, including pellets, creams and custom compounded preparations. Lynn came to medicine later than most, first working as a CPA for the federal government and then as a medical biller and practice manager before going back to school for her PA certification. New patients leave a deposit to hold the appointment slot, refunded if they cancel at least 72 hours ahead, and all visits are in person at one of the two offices.
Amy Molder is a women's health nurse practitioner in the OB/GYN department at Murfreesboro Medical Clinic, a large multi specialty group that has been caring for Rutherford County for more than 60 years. She sees patients at the main Garrison Drive campus, and she is the only provider the department lists with Menopause Society certification. Her own bio says her special interest is caring for women through the perimenopausal and menopausal years. The department runs a Menopause Center that books 30 and 15 minute visits and prescribes menopause hormone therapy, plus help for sleep, mood changes and hot flashes. The Menopause Center also works on weight changes that come with menopause, and its patient handout covers injectable weight loss medication and how to manage the nausea and constipation that follow. She trained in female sexual health in 2009 and is a member of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health, and the department's gynecology list includes low sex drive and pain with intercourse.
Lori Pigeon runs this small Canton practice for women and men in midlife, after nearly 30 years as a nurse practitioner in traditional medicine. She started it after her own late 40s, when the avid cyclist who rode 100 miles at a time found her energy gone and struggled to get answers. Every new patient starts with a long consult, and she recommends the simplest level of care that fits, from a hormone plan on its own up to a coached program. She prescribes bioidentical estrogen and progesterone and considers testosterone for some women, mainly for low desire. Weight loss with GLP-1 medication is a big part of the practice, and she is openly skeptical of peptides and supplement hype. Visits are in person or by video, including for patients in Maine, and new patients currently join a waitlist.
Dr. Chhabra runs a weight management practice in Hackensack and folds menopause care into it. She is a board certified internist who has spent more than 20 years in obesity medicine, and she treats midlife weight change as part of the menopause picture rather than a separate problem. For symptoms she prescribes hormone therapy, and she offers SSRIs to women who cannot take hormones or would rather not. She also watches the longer term effects of falling estrogen, with bone density and heart risk screening built into the plan. New patients start with a phone call about treatment options and cost, then come in for an evaluation, and there is a menopause health questionnaire alongside the general new patient forms. Care is in person at one office that is open three weekdays and every other Saturday.
Dr. Miranda founded PURE and runs it as medical director. It is a small concierge internal medicine practice in Coral Gables. Menopause care sits inside the practice's wider preventive work, so bone, thyroid and metabolic checks are part of the same evaluation. New patients start with a detailed health history and a large hormone and metabolic lab panel, then a physician visit to go over the results. Follow-up labs come at six weeks, twelve weeks and then every quarter, with the aim of keeping the dose as low as still works. Her colleague Dr. Sudha Lolayekar is the one the practice names as its certified menopause practitioner, and Dr. Miranda also trained in functional medicine at the University of Miami.
Dr. Sunkireddy is a family doctor who also holds board certifications in obesity and lifestyle medicine, and she runs menopause care herself at her own practice in Cumming. The first visit is a long conversation about symptoms, cycle changes and overall health, with hormone testing if it is needed. From there she builds a plan that may use hormone therapy, non-hormonal medication or lifestyle changes, and she weighs the risks before prescribing. She pays particular attention to midlife weight gain, and a dietitian and health coach work alongside her. Follow-ups can be done by video, and the same office also handles primary care and urgent visits.
Abby Loftus-Smith is an OB-GYN with St. Elizabeth Physicians in northern Kentucky. The system's menopause page names her as one of three certified menopause doctors on its team, and she sees patients at the Newport office as well as the Burlington and Florence women's health offices. New patients can book online or by phone, though video visits are kept for patients she already sees, so a first appointment is in person. On hormones the team is explicit about its limits. It offers only FDA-approved treatment and says it does not use hormone pellets or non-approved therapies, so the options are estrogen and progesterone, vaginal estrogen, and non-hormonal medication such as SSRIs for hot flashes. Her wider gynecology practice covers adolescent care, fertility and infertility, PCOS, and minimally invasive and robotic surgery.
Dafna Trites is an ob-gyn at Facey Medical Group's Tarzana ob-gyn office, part of the Providence system. Her own profile lists a full ob-gyn scope, from pregnancy and delivery through menopause, urinary incontinence and pelvic prolapse surgery, so this is a general ob-gyn practice rather than a menopause clinic. She sees adults and older adults and speaks Spanish as well as English. New patients can book either an office visit or a video visit with her. Ongoing care runs through the Providence MyChart portal, where you message your care team, book visits and request refills. Reviews on her own profile mention long waits for a routine appointment.
PRIME Institute is a small cash-pay practice in Coral Gables that Pearlman co-founded with Dr. Michelle Pearlman, a gastroenterologist. Pearlman is a urologist, and most of the practice's sexual health pages are written for men. Her women's care is genitourinary syndrome of menopause and low libido, treated with vaginal estrogen, vaginal DHEA and low-dose testosterone, plus non-hormonal drugs like flibanserin and bremelanotide. She tests vaginal pH in the office with a swab and a strip, then retests during treatment to check that the topical hormones are working. Systemic estrogen and progesterone for women is her partner's program, not hers. New out-of-state patients have to be seen in person for the first consultation. She says education is her main mission, so patients understand their own anatomy and hormones before deciding.
Dr. Krauss is a board-certified ob-gyn in a large women's care group with offices in Cape Coral and Fort Myers. Her own page says she offers individualized perimenopause and menopause care and also helps patients reach and keep a healthy weight. The group's menopause pages describe hormone therapy as pills, patches, gels, sprays and vaginal estrogen. They also describe a gynecologic laser for vaginal changes. New patients book their first visit online through the patient portal. Patients are asked to leave a card on file, and the office charges a fee for missed appointments. She is a mother of two teenagers and enjoys shell collecting and bird watching.
This is a solo OB-GYN office in Beverly Hills where menopause care sits alongside general gynecology and obstetrics. He sees women from young adulthood through later life, so a patient can stay with one doctor as her needs change. The first visit covers history, symptoms, weight, blood pressure, a physical exam and lab work. Hormone therapy is designed for each patient and can be a pill, patch, lotion, spray, injection, vaginal tablet or ring, or a pellet placed under the skin. He pairs it with diet and exercise counseling and refers out when needed. He sits on the Medical Executive Committee at Cedars-Sinai, where he trained.
Bloom Wellness MD is Dr. Griffin's own integrative practice in Roseville, built around perimenopause and menopause care. She spent 10 years in family medicine and 11 years in integrative and functional medicine at Sutter Health before opening it, and she is fellowship trained at the University of Arizona's Andrew Weil Center. Her first choice for hormone therapy is FDA-approved bioidentical products such as estradiol patches, gels, sprays and rings, and she turns to compounded hormones only when a commercial product cannot meet a patient's dosing or ingredient needs. The practice does not provide primary care or urgent care, so you need to keep your own primary care physician. New patients can book a free 15-minute call first, and the initial visit runs a full hour. A certified health coach is available for optional one-on-one sessions on nutrition and elimination diets.
