A solo nurse-practitioner practice treating women in perimenopause and menopause, plus weight and metabolic care, seen by telemedicine across Arizona with in-person visits in Tucson on Thursdays. Every patient starts with a 75-minute consultation preceded by a fasting lab panel, then chooses a time-bound program. One is six months of hormone care with four follow-ups. The other is a twelve-week medically supervised weight program. The hormone program includes the cost of estradiol, progesterone and testosterone shipped from a specialty pharmacy, and thyroid work where indicated. The practice does not provide primary care or gynecology, asks patients to keep their own doctor for those, and does not use pellets.
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.
