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.
Angela is a women's health nurse practitioner with about twenty years in the field. Much of that time was in community care, including federally qualified health centers, family planning clinics and helping to start an OB care center for underserved women. She sees patients at the Nipomo health center of Community Health Centers of the Central Coast, a federally funded center that serves people whatever their ability to pay. Her listed services cover perimenopause and menopause alongside contraception, gynecologic procedures such as IUD placement and biopsies, and weight loss. New patients register through the center's navigation line and can then book by text, phone or the patient portal. Her bio says she wants women to feel respected and heard at their visits.
Ann Boss sees women in perimenopause and menopause at an office in Torrance and by video. Care comes as three yearly programs that differ mainly in how often you see her, from four visits a year with ongoing messaging to two visits with limited messaging. She prescribes hormone therapy and testosterone, and she also manages GLP-1 medication for weight. She specifically helps women move off hormone pellets onto FDA-approved hormone therapy. Her video visits run through the Heather Hirsch Collaborative, and she teaches seasonal Menopause 101 classes through Torrance Memorial. New patients start with the booking form on her site, and a scheduler follows up.
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.
Wendy Ronco is a nurse practitioner at a large primary care practice in Exton, and her work there now centers mostly on menopause care. To see her you have to be a patient of the practice with one of its clinicians as your primary care provider. New patients can enroll with the practice and then book with her. She sees patients in the office and also does menopause visits by video on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, for patients who are in Pennsylvania at the time. She has spent her whole career in women's health and obstetrics and also handles gynecology such as Pap smears and IUDs. The practice's clinicians also run a free on-demand video series on menopause.
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.
Concierge primary care for adults around Incline Village and North Lake Tahoe, run by a single internist who is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner with a stated focus on women's health and menopause. A flat monthly membership covers unlimited office visits, direct messaging with the physician, annual exams and virtual visits, with home visits and same or next-day access also offered.

Consultations are by video, with unlimited portal messaging and calls answered within one to two business days.
Dr. Towolawi runs a direct primary care practice in Shoreline, but her primary care panel is full, so new menopause patients see her through a separate telehealth service. Visits are by video for women in the states she covers. Care starts with an hour-long first visit, and shorter follow-ups are booked as needed. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits and pairs it with lifestyle medicine coaching on nutrition and supplements, with secure messaging between visits. She is also board certified in lifestyle medicine. She is perimenopausal herself and speaks openly about women, especially women of color, being dismissed when they raise their symptoms.
Dr. Tunson runs a virtual longevity medicine practice and spent about 14 years as an emergency physician before starting it. Women who want to focus only on hormones can buy a hormone package with labs, two hour-long visits and prescription management when it's indicated, or book a single hormone consultation. She also offers a test that estimates ovarian age and when menopause is likely to arrive. Her wider program is a multi-year plan built on extensive labs, genetics and imaging, and it is meant to sit alongside your regular primary care doctor rather than replace it. The practice is cash only and has opted out of Medicare, though Medicare patients are welcome to pay privately.
Jackie Stone, MD sees women entirely by telehealth, in a practice she runs alone. She is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and in obesity medicine, and treats perimenopause, menopause and primary ovarian insufficiency alongside PCOS, genitourinary symptoms, sexual wellness, and skin and hair changes. First visits run a full hour and cover past records, labs and a treatment plan. Ongoing care is by monthly membership or visit by visit, with direct messaging for members.
CaliberMD is Dr. Belardo's own virtual practice for women in midlife, and she treats menopause symptoms and weight together instead of in separate appointments. She is certified in both obesity medicine and menopause care, and she writes openly about her own perimenopause and weight changes. Care runs as a six-month membership that starts with a 60-minute first visit and a nutrition planning session, then moves to monthly video follow-ups with portal messaging in between. She prescribes menopausal hormone therapy when it fits and also works with women who would rather not take medication. The practice does not do primary care, so you need to keep your own primary care doctor. A free Meet and Greet call is available before you sign up.
Dr. Westgate works in a Community Health Network ob/gyn office in Westfield, north of Indianapolis. She stopped practicing obstetrics in 2020 and now sees only gynecology patients, and she has extra training in cancer prevention and early detection plus a women's genomics counseling certificate from ACOG. The network's menopause page names her as one of two doctors it points women to when menopause symptoms or sexual health problems follow cancer treatment. Menopause care there covers hormone therapy with estradiol, progesterone and testosterone, vaginal estrogen, and non-hormonal medicines for women who cannot or choose not to use hormones. She also still operates, including laparoscopy and vNOTES, so heavy perimenopausal bleeding can be worked up and treated by the same doctor. This is a health system practice, so scheduling and messaging run through MyChart, and visits can be in person or virtual.
Kristen Loose is the menopause specialist at Dr. Gina Mantor's medical spa and weight clinic in Westerville, where the rest of the practice focuses on aesthetics and weight loss. She treats perimenopause and menopause with standard hormone therapy, and offers non-hormonal prescriptions and lifestyle advice to women who can't or would rather not take hormones. The first consultation is free and happens by video. After that she sees patients in the office on Wednesdays and Saturdays or by appointment. She follows Menopause Society guidance closely and writes on the clinic's site that soy and black cohosh don't hold up for hot flashes.
Dr. Paul sees patients by video through The Menopause Clinic, a menopause service run with OB-GYN Associates in Reno. The clinic only sees established patients of the group, and you have to stay current with one of its in-office providers to keep your place. So a new patient first books a regular gynecology visit and then gets referred. She spent 17 years in obstetrics and another 10 in full-time gynecology before stepping back to focus on perimenopause and menopause. The clinic uses FDA-approved hormone therapy in pill, patch and vaginal forms alongside non-hormonal options, and it also sees breast cancer survivors.
Dr. Kroll is a board certified OB/GYN who runs a concierge practice in Newport Beach with her husband, an internist. She was the first OB/GYN in Orange County to go concierge. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone in many forms, including FDA approved, compounded and pellet options, as well as non-hormonal treatments. Menopause visits also cover screening for osteoporosis, heart disease and muscle loss. New patients can book a single consultation or join for a year, which adds longer visits and a 24 hour line to the doctor. She has been through menopause herself and says that shapes how she talks with patients.
Barb Dehn is a women's health nurse practitioner who is also an author, speaker and media health expert. Her own website is mostly health articles, books, consulting and press, and it does not describe a clinic she runs or a way to become her patient. It says she practices with El Camino Women's Medical Group in Mountain View. That group lists menopausal symptoms among its gynecology services, but it does not list her among its current providers. She is also Vice President of Women's Health at Peppy Health, a digital care app offered through employers.
Therapy for Midlife is Dr. Rashkis's solo virtual practice, and every session runs over video. She works with women moving through perimenopause and menopause, and she also sees men in midlife and couples. Care is talk therapy only, and the FAQ says the practice does not prescribe medication, though she will discuss a referral to a prescribing physician and can speak with your own doctor if you give written permission. For menopause she uses cognitive behavioral therapy for the distress that comes with hot flashes and CBT for insomnia for sleep trouble, alongside acceptance and commitment therapy and emotionally focused therapy. Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly at first and then spaced further apart, and she says most clients need five to fifteen of them. She is a lifelong competitive athlete who says she went through her own midlife upheaval, which is what led her to start the practice.
Framework Health is a small concierge primary care practice, and menopause care is part of the general membership rather than a separate program. Devan sees patients alongside Dr. Meserve, and both are Menopause Society certified. Her style leans integrative, with nutrition, sleep, exercise and supplements next to medication, and she tries to keep prescriptions to a minimum where she can. Hormone therapy uses bioidentical estrogen and progesterone, and thyroid support is part of it. Visits happen in the Fashion Island office or by video. New patients can start with a free 15 minute call or a meet and greet with Devan.
Olea Women's Health is a solo telehealth practice founded by Agnes Simone, DO, a board-certified psychiatrist, for women in California. She combines psychiatric care with menopausal hormone therapy, prescribing estrogen, progesterone and testosterone where indicated, and treats the mood, anxiety, sleep and cognitive symptoms that arrive with midlife. She works alongside a patient's own OB-GYN or primary care doctor, and does not perform vaginal exams or procedures.
A solo membership telehealth practice for patients in California and Nevada, and she limits her work to three areas, which are perimenopause and menopause hormonal health, medical weight management, and lifestyle medicine. It states plainly that it does not replace primary, urgent or emergency care. Visits begin with a 60-minute evaluation followed by ongoing follow-up and direct access to the physician between appointments, with labs ordered to outside facilities and billed separately. Members in one Northern California city who have had at least three telehealth visits can buy a 90-minute home visit.
Dr. Correa is an internist who runs a small membership primary care practice in Newport Beach, capped at about 100 patients. Menopause care is part of her ongoing primary care rather than a separate program, and she is also board certified in obesity medicine and has prescribed GLP-1 medicines since 2018. Before starting her own practice in 2023 she helped build the midlife women's health program at Hoag. Visits usually run 30 to 60 minutes, members reach her directly, and she will visit patients admitted to Hoag hospitals. The practice takes new members only about half of each year, so a new patient may have to wait for the next opening. People who are not members can book a single long consult with a follow-up by video or in person.
A two-doctor naturopathic concierge practice with a Beverly Hills office, working virtually or in person and treating perimenopausal and menopausal women alongside gastrointestinal, longevity and body composition patients. Care is an ongoing membership. It starts with an hour-long intake and custom lab work, then a follow-up where the plan is built, and you can message her directly between visits. The menopausal hormone therapy program is ongoing care bundling prescriptions, follow-ups and repeat hormone labs. The founder is also a certified trainer and nutrition graduate who writes patients' strength, cardio and diet programming as part of the membership.
Dr. Otteno is an OB-GYN whose practice is mostly cosmetic and restorative gynecology, and hormone therapy is one part of it. She trained in female genital cosmetic surgery with Dr. Michael Goodman. For menopause care she starts with an hour-long in-person hormone consult, then writes a plan that can use pills, patches, gels or creams. Bioidentical hormones are one of the options she discusses. Regular follow-up visits are used to check how treatment is going and adjust the dose. Women who are not good candidates for hormones get other options and lifestyle advice instead.
