Menopause Specialists Who Accept Medicare in Arizona
94 practitioners have an office in Arizona, and 109 more can see patients here by telehealth. 126 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Scottsdale, Tucson and Phoenix.
Dr. Bartlett Hackenmiller is a gynecologist who trained in integrative medicine under Andrew Weil and now sees menopause, menstrual, fertility and pelvic floor concerns. She works through MercyOne OB-Gyn in Waterloo and HonorHealth Integrative Medicine in Scottsdale, and she sees many patients by video. She prescribes bioidentical hormones and uses transdermal estrogen rather than pills. She also leans on herbs, diet and mind-body work, and she has written about helping women who can't take hormones. She is a clinical herbalist and a certified forest therapy guide, and her own life, including raising a son with autism and losing her first husband to cancer, shapes how she practices.
Dr. Heavens is a family physician who runs a primary care practice in Tempe through the MDVIP membership model. Members get same or next day appointments and can reach him around the clock. His menopause care centers on Biote hormone pellets, and the practice also does routine gynecology, weight loss medication and cosmetic injectables. New insurance patients are asked to name him as their primary care doctor with their insurer before the first visit.
Dr. Fermann is a gynecologist with UC Health, the University of Cincinnati academic health system, and sees adults at its West Chester South medical office. Her own profile lists menopause, perimenopause and hot flashes among her clinical interests, alongside general gynecology. She also names primary ovarian insufficiency, pelvic pain and vulvar pain, which makes her a sensible choice for women with early menopause or painful sex. Care runs through a large hospital system that bills insurance, so this is regular office gynecology and not a stand-alone menopause program. New patients book by calling the office. She also teaches as volunteer faculty at the UC College of Medicine.
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.
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. Molloy is a gynecologist at the Banner University Medicine Women's Institute in central Phoenix. Her focus is the menopause transition, sexual health and vulvar conditions. She also treats pain with sex, vulvodynia and vulvar skin conditions such as lichen sclerosus. She sees adults in the office and by video, and she speaks Spanish and English. She teaches medical students and residents and likes patients to make decisions about their care together with her. Appointments are made by phone, as online booking is only open to returning patients.
