516 practitioners have an office in California, and 125 more can see patients here by telehealth. 388 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in San Francisco, Newport Beach and San Diego.
MOOV El Dorado Hills is a physician-run longevity and aesthetics studio, one of nine MOOV locations. Dr. Braxley spent her career in emergency medicine before moving into longevity work, and she says her own health experience is what pushed her to change direction. Her focus is women, and she puts hormone therapy together with weight loss and everyday lifestyle changes. New patients usually start with a short virtual consult that works out which labs to run, and the plan is built from those results. The studio also does skin treatments, heart risk testing and GLP-1 weight programs, so hormone care sits alongside a lot of other services rather than being the whole practice. She is finishing board certification in obesity medicine in late 2026.
Dr. Hoang runs a small solo gynecology practice in San Jose and has cared for women in the South Bay for more than twelve years. Her menopause program starts with a long first conversation about symptoms, health history, hormones and lifestyle. She offers hormone therapy when it fits, along with non-hormonal medicines, supplements and help with sleep and stress. She is also board certified in obesity medicine, so weight gain and metabolic health in midlife get real attention, and she runs a separate physician-led weight program that can include GLP-1 medicines. Patients can reach the office by phone or text between visits, and same-day or same-week appointments are often available. Many long-time patients first saw her for routine gynecology or pregnancy care.
Adams directs Stanford's menopause program and sees patients at the gynecology clinic in Palo Alto. The program offers in person consults, video consults, and video group visits. She is board certified in both obstetrics and gynecology and in lifestyle medicine, so diet, exercise and sleep come up alongside hormone therapy. Before Stanford she spent 14 years as residency program director at OHSU in Oregon, where she also ran the menopause and sexual medicine program. She hosts the program's podcast and gave a TEDx talk called Sleep, Sex, and Menopausal Zest. The program writes to its patients about practical problems like the estradiol patch shortage.
Dr. Bassett is an integrative and functional medicine physician who spent over 15 years in emergency medicine before opening this practice. Care starts with a 90-minute assessment, in person in Walnut Creek or by video, followed by a health coach visit. Patients who are a good fit can join a 12-month membership with regular visits and direct messaging. She is a consultant only and patients must keep their own primary care doctor.
Dr. Han sees gynecology patients only and has narrowed her practice to women going through menopause. She says many of them come to her after feeling unheard or dismissed elsewhere. She describes care as a partnership where the patient has a voice in decisions. She works within Orange Coast Women's Medical Group, a large OB/GYN group with offices across south Orange County, and she sees patients in Irvine and Laguna Hills. The group's menopause page describes hormone therapy as pills, patches or vaginal creams, and lists non-hormonal options too. She earned a Master of Public Health at Harvard in 2023, focused on how social connection shapes health habits.
Peninsula Doctor is a small concierge family medicine practice in Menlo Park, and each physician there keeps a panel of about 100 patients. Dr. Kim is the clinician the practice names for perimenopause and menopause, and she works through hormone therapy options with women and handles the monitoring that follows. Her menopause care sits inside regular primary care, so one visit can cover bone density, heart risk and the weight and metabolism changes of midlife. Membership runs for a year and covers visits, in-office blood draws and most in-office lab work, plus twelve visits with the practice nutritionist. Members can reach their physician by phone, text or video, and the practice recommends coming into the office when an exam or testing would help. Two things to know before joining are that the practice does not prescribe ongoing controlled substances, and that anyone who is Medicare eligible signs a private Medicare contract to become a member.
Chronis is a family medicine doctor at the Cedars-Sinai primary care office on South Fairmount Avenue in Pasadena, which sits inside Huntington Health. Her group's list of doctors taking new patients marks her as a certified menopause practitioner, and she is the only one of the six doctors at that office carrying that note. A colleague at the same office is marked as a hormone replacement specialist, so midlife patients there have two doctors to pick from. She sees patients in the office and by video, and a new patient can book an office visit, a physical or a video visit online. Her Cedars-Sinai profile carries no biography and no list of conditions, so nothing is published about how she handles hormone therapy. Her online booking showed limited availability for a first visit.
Radiant Women's Health is a small concierge practice in Menlo Park where Dr. Kassis is the gynecologist. Care runs on a membership, so the fee covers her visits and members can call, text or email her directly. New members start with a free consultation, then a long intake visit with lab work, then ongoing appointments in the office or by video. She trained in obstetrics and gynecology at Stanford and later spent eight years at a county hospital doing high volume surgery and obstetrics. When she joined Palo Alto Medical Foundation in 2019 she trained under a longtime menopause specialist who handed over her practice on retiring, and she began having perimenopause symptoms herself around the same time. She has taken extra coursework on hormone therapy for breast cancer survivors, and the practice keeps a dietitian and a pelvic floor physical therapist in house.
Dr. Mullin is one of three doctors at San Diego Women's Health, an OB/GYN practice with offices in La Jolla and Encinitas. Her bio says she is menopause certified and enjoys helping women through perimenopause and the years after. Menopause management sits alongside the rest of her work, which runs from low and high-risk pregnancies to minimally invasive surgery for fibroids and endometriosis. The practice also treats pelvic pain and urinary incontinence, and it screens for and treats osteoporosis. Hormones here can come as BioTE pellets, placed under the skin so the dose stays steady rather than rising and falling the way pills and creams do. She trained at Naval Medical Center San Diego and has practiced abroad in both developed and developing countries, and visits are in person at one of the two offices.
Dr. Eilber is a urogynecologist and pelvic surgeon who runs a small membership practice in Beverly Hills, with menopause care as one part of it. She suits women whose midlife symptoms include leaking, urgency, recurrent UTIs, prolapse or painful sex, because she treats the bladder and pelvic floor side herself. She prescribes hormone therapy and non-hormonal options, and checks bone health with density screening in the office. Membership starts with a long annual exam and covers up to five follow-up visits a year, in person or by video. Up to three energy-based vaginal treatments such as Morpheus8V are included each year. New patients start with a call with a membership advisor.
Dr. Gonzalez is an OB-GYN with Sutter Medical Group in Elk Grove and sees women of all ages. Her profile lists menopause and perimenopause among the conditions she treats, and she holds the Menopause Society certification. Most of what her page describes is gynecologic surgery, and she favors minimally invasive options such as robotic hysterectomy, myomectomy and endometrial ablation when surgery is needed. She says she puts weight on preventing gynecologic cancers and conditions. Her page does not say which menopause treatments she prescribes. Visits are in person only, she speaks conversational Spanish, and new patients book through the Sutter site or by phone.
Dr. Lane is a urogynecologist who leads gynecology and menopause care at The Practice Healthcare, a Beverly Hills practice best known for plastic surgery and a medspa. Bladder leaks, prolapse and painful sex are at the center of her work, and she treats them alongside hot flashes and other menopause symptoms. She prescribes standard and bioidentical hormone therapy and vaginal estrogen, and testosterone for low libido when it is indicated. For women who have had cancer, she gives hormone guidance when the usual options are off the table and works with their oncology team. Care starts with a consultation that reviews your history and goals, and surgery is rarely her first recommendation.
Sharon Orrange is a primary care internist with Keck Signature Care, the concierge medicine program of Keck Medicine of USC, and she sees patients at its Beverly Hills office. Menopause hormone therapy is one of her research subjects, along with GLP-1 drugs, prediabetes and metabolic syndrome. Care splits between annual wellness visits, which cover screening and risk counseling, and primary care visits for chronic conditions and immediate problems. She is a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, so weight and metabolic health sit inside her everyday practice rather than in a separate program. The Beverly Hills office keeps weekday daytime hours and offers telehealth appointments. She also studies telemedicine in primary care and how drug prices affect whether patients keep taking their medicines, which is an unusual thing for a working primary care doctor to spend time on.
Dr. Oberman co-directs UCLA Health's Comprehensive Menopause Program, where she leads its education work, and she also keeps a general obstetrics and gynecology practice at the Westwood OBGYN office. New patients fill out a health questionnaire before the first visit that takes 30 to 45 minutes and is due a week ahead, so the consultation itself can go straight to symptoms and treatment. The first visit also screens bone, breast, cognition, heart, mood, sleep and genitourinary health, and anything needing a specialist is handed to another UCLA clinician rather than managed in the menopause clinic. Hormone therapy is offered alongside non-hormonal options such as gabapentin and fezolinetant, and the program schedules a yearly health assessment after that. Outside menopause she has a particular interest in women planning a trial of labor after a cesarean, and she was the lead gynecologist on UCLA trials using estriol in multiple sclerosis.
Dr. Harris is a gynecologist who runs a small concierge-style practice in Newport Beach centered on bioidentical hormones. She is a strong believer in hormone pellets and has used them for more than twenty years, though she also offers other bioidentical options. Care starts with a one-on-one consultation and hormone testing. The practice also runs a weight program built around GLP-1 medication alongside hormone balance. It treats men as well as women and offers aesthetic and PRP procedures, so hormones are one part of a wider anti-aging menu.
Dr. Harris is a gynecologist who has cared for women in the Inland Empire since 1990 and opened this practice in 2015 after years in large multi-specialty groups. She left that setting because visits felt rushed, and her own practice is built around longer first visits where she listens and explains. Hormone care leans heavily on bioidentical options. She uses SottoPelle pellets placed in the office and also prescribes creams, troches, suppositories and vaginal treatments. Your first hormone visit is in person in Corona, and qualifying follow-ups can be done by video. She also sees hormone patients and places pellets at a smaller satellite office in Indian Wells, and she treats men's hormones too.
Dr. Gill runs a physician-led practice in Lodi that combines primary care, integrative medicine and a large aesthetic menu. She sees women in perimenopause and menopause and prescribes and monitors hormone therapy, including estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Hormones come as creams, gels and patches, and she also places hormone pellets in the office. She often looks at hormones, metabolism and skin together, and many patients come to her for a second or third opinion. The office also offers vaginal laser treatment and medically supervised weight loss for women who want help with those alongside hormones.
Pamela Neff is an OB/GYN at T.H.E. Health and Wellness Centers, a federally funded community clinic group with five health centers around south Los Angeles that has been seeing patients since 1974. The clinic takes people regardless of ability to pay or immigration status, and its own pages cover gynecology, family planning and prenatal care rather than menopause. Her menopause practice is published through Gennev, a virtual menopause service where she sees California, New Jersey and Pennsylvania patients by video. She names perimenopause, menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency and breast cancer risk or survivorship among what she handles. Before Los Angeles she practiced nearly twenty years in Philadelphia, doing minimally invasive surgery and training OB/GYN residents. She says she listens first to what a patient has already been through with health care, then works out a plan with her.
This is a general OB/GYN practice that also delivers babies and does gynecologic surgery, so menopause care sits alongside the rest of women's health. Dr. Leach is also Medical Director of OB/GYN at John Muir Walnut Creek. The office prescribes FDA approved bioidentical estradiol and progesterone by mouth, on the skin or in the vagina. It prefers these to compounded hormones because blood levels can vary from batch to batch. Marybeth Wakefield, a nurse practitioner who also holds the Menopause Society certification, sees midlife patients in the same office. The practice works with the Cancer Support Community of Walnut Creek to help survivors with symptoms like vaginal dryness, including those who cannot use estrogen. New patients are currently being welcomed.
Dr. Pravdin is an OB-GYN who sees women in perimenopause and menopause. She also treats sexual health concerns such as low desire, painful sex and vaginismus. Visits are in person at a clinic in Redwood City or online for patients who live in California. Treatment can include hormonal and non-hormonal options, supplements, diet and lifestyle changes, and cognitive behavioral therapy. She schedules regular follow-ups and adjusts the plan as needed. She is fluent in Russian and conversant in French and Spanish.
Gina Woods is an endocrinologist at UC San Diego Health and directs the system's osteoporosis program. UC San Diego Health lists her among the specialists in its menopause health program, where her named role is bone health. Her own provider page names that program next to osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease. Bone is the center of her practice, so the midlife patient she sees most is one worried about fracture risk or a falling bone density score. She works out of the Perlman Medical Offices in La Jolla, and care runs the way it does at any large academic system, with new patients registering before a first visit and messages and records going through the patient portal. She teaches as well, as associate program director of the endocrinology fellowship and medical director of UC San Diego's bone densitometry course for other clinicians.
Fair Oaks Women's Health is an eight-physician OB-GYN group in the Huntington Pavilion beside Huntington Hospital, and it became part of Huntington Health and Cedars-Sinai in 2023. Jick is its medical director. He joined in 1989 and ran it as the solo doctor before it grew into today's group, and he is the only clinician the team page tags as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. Hormone consultations are arranged by calling the office and can be done by video or in person. He also performs the Valayza vaginal laser for dryness and painful sex after menopause, which the practice lists under his name. New gynecology patients print a forms packet and send it back ahead of the first visit, and the practice keeps a menopause resources page he writes in his own voice.
Dr. Carol runs a small concierge practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, and she is going through midlife herself. She spent about 20 years as an emergency physician before turning to menopause care. Care starts with a free 30-minute video call. After that comes a package of two long visits, each 60 to 90 minutes, and you can message her between and after them. Visits can be at her Manhattan office, by video, or at your home or workplace. The visits look at symptom treatment along with bone, heart and breast cancer risk. She does not replace your own doctors, so you still need a primary care doctor and a gynecologist for exams and mammograms.
Dr. Neelagaru runs a virtual-only specialty clinic for menopause and sexual medicine. She no longer provides primary care, so patients keep their own doctor for routine care, physicals and pelvic exams. New patients start with a free video strategy call, and care runs through 60-minute video visits or her four-month Flourish Method program with labs and monthly follow-ups. She prescribes FDA-approved bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, plus vaginal estrogen and non-hormonal options, and she does not place pellets but helps women move off them. Sexual health is at the center of her practice, and she also sees male partners for erectile dysfunction and low testosterone. She is perimenopausal herself and says her own hormonal changes shaped how she practices.
