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.
FemGevity is a virtual women's health service that works alongside a patient's own doctor, and Dr. Abrahams is its menopause medical advisor. He sees patients himself by video, starting with a 45 minute consult about symptoms and hormone levels. Care starts with testing, usually a hormone panel of more than 100 biomarkers, with gut, micronutrient or genomic panels added when they are useful. Treatment can run from standard prescriptions to custom bioidentical compounds, and he describes his approach as conventional medicine combined with complementary care. He is a Harvard-trained gynecologist who also treats endometriosis, PMS and fibroids, and he still works part time for the Department of Veterans Affairs in New York and at Hackensack University Hospital in New Jersey. FemGevity's main menopause program runs through partner doctors' offices, where the blood draw is done, so it helps to have a doctor of your own.
A physician-led longevity and performance practice based in Seattle, where the practitioner is medical director. Care begins with an in-person day in the Seattle area for baseline diagnostics, covering over a hundred biomarkers, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, continuous glucose monitoring, genomics and multi-cancer screening. It then moves to quarterly labs and structured medical reviews, with follow-ups virtual or in person. A women's track is described for perimenopause, menopause and after, with hormone and metabolic diagnostics and ongoing telehealth support, and physicians provide prescriptions and referrals as clinically appropriate.
Dr. Saadatmand is a reproductive psychiatrist at a women's mental health group practice in Walnut Creek. She treats the mood, anxiety, sleep and sexual health side of perimenopause, and her care may include medication, supplements, lab testing and therapy. The practice doesn't say it prescribes hormone therapy, so this is a place for perimenopausal depression or anxiety rather than hot flash treatment. Care starts with a long intake visit and continues with follow-ups with the same psychiatrist, mostly by video. She completed a fellowship in reproductive psychiatry and also holds training in nutritional psychiatry. New patients currently join a waitlist.
Gliss Wellness is a virtual-only OB/GYN practice Dr. Walsh co-founded with a second board-certified OB/GYN, and menopause care is its main focus. Care starts with a 30-minute video consultation about your symptoms, and if hormone therapy suits you, you leave with prescriptions for the first three months. A follow-up at three months keeps refills going for the rest of the year, and refills in between happen by message through the patient portal. There is no membership, and you fill prescriptions at your own pharmacy. The doctors can't examine you in person but can order labs and other tests. Dr. Walsh's own interests include pelvic pain, endometriosis, fibroids and weight loss, and a free 15-minute call lets you meet the team before booking.
Giese has been an OB/GYN at Kaiser Permanente's Delta Fair Medical Offices in Antioch since she finished her residency in 2003. She works only in the outpatient clinic now and does outpatient gyn procedures, after years of labor and delivery and gynecologic surgery in the hospital. Menopause and midlife health is one of the topics she names as common in her practice, along with hormone therapy for menopause symptoms. Kaiser prescribes FDA-approved bioidentical estradiol and progesterone from its own pharmacies and advises against compounded hormone prescriptions, so that is the route to hormones here. She grew up in the East Bay and sees patients in Spanish, and she is board certified in lifestyle medicine on top of obstetrics and gynecology. She is also the physician site lead for the Delta Fair building, which means she works with every department in it.
Banner Peak Health is a four physician concierge practice in Walnut Creek, and Klein is the one who carries the Menopause Society certification. Care runs on an annual membership that covers unlimited visits and direct access to your own doctor by cell phone at any hour. New members start with a phone call to the practice director, then an unhurried meeting with the physician they would see, then a baseline assessment that can run two hours. Writing about perimenopause, Klein says she rules out thyroid problems, IBS, SIBO and gastroparesis before she looks at hormones, because the symptom cluster gets missed for years while a woman is sent from one specialist to the next. For treatment she describes an estrogen patch with oral progesterone, sometimes a progesterone IUD for endometrial protection, and a small amount of testosterone when it helps. She spent ten years in internal medicine at John Muir Medical Center and left because that setting gave her no time to be present with patients.
Sacramento Women's Health is a seven-physician OB/GYN partnership on Fair Oaks Boulevard, running in the same practice line since 1960. Dr. Mikacich joined in 2009 and is the one the practice names as its menopause and weight loss specialist, and she is also a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. The services list says menopause management here uses FDA approved bioidenticals. She finished a master's in public health at UC Berkeley in 2024 focused on food and nutrition, and she describes her own practice as centered on menopause and metabolic health. She has been a medical consultant for Grey's Anatomy since 2005 and co-founded a perinatal mental health program in Denver before moving home to Sacramento. New patients call the office and bring a completed paper packet to the first visit, and she speaks fluent Spanish.
Dr. Meagan runs a virtual-only menopause practice for women who live in California. She turned to perimenopause care after nearly 20 years in medicine, when more and more patients, friends and family kept asking her about it. Care starts with an hour-long video visit where she goes over your symptoms, past care and prescriptions, then sets a plan with follow-up visits to adjust it. She prescribes hormone therapy in whatever form you prefer. She also offers weight care with DEXA scans and GLP-1 medication, plus ketamine and psychedelic medicine for sleep, anxiety and mood. She does not act as your primary doctor or gynecologist, so you still need your own for exams and pap smears.
Dr. Coe is a UCLA-trained gynecologist and has been a Menopause Society certified practitioner since 2012. Menopause care here means systemic and vaginal hormone therapy, with lifestyle changes, pelvic floor physical therapy and psychological support added when they fit. She also does general gynecology, sexual health and preventive primary care, and she is trained in vulvoscopy for vulvar conditions like vulvodynia. She stepped back from practice for years to look after her family, living in Montana and London, and finished a master's in health policy before reopening her Newport Beach office. Visits can be in the office or by phone or video, and new patients request an appointment through the office and get portal access before the first visit.
Dr. Beddow runs a solo OB/GYN office in San Mateo and has been practicing in the Bay Area for over two decades. She was on faculty at Stanford before returning to private practice. The office covers the full range of obstetrics and gynecology, so menopause and hormone evaluation sits alongside pregnancy care and surgical gyn work rather than being the whole practice. She is a mother of twins herself and says that gives her a particular bond with other twin mothers. New patients book online and the office confirms the appointment the next business day. Video visits appear on her schedule for established patients only, so a first appointment means going in.
Dr. O'Neill is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist who also holds the Menopause Society's NCMP certificate. Menopause is one of several services at her small practice, alongside general gynecology, fertility, obstetrics and acupuncture. This is a general ob-gyn office, not a menopause-only clinic, and she admits to two San Jose hospitals for surgery and deliveries. The office is in a historic house in Campbell, and new patients fill out a history questionnaire before the first visit. Appointments are booked through an online scheduling page. The site does not say which menopause treatments she prescribes.
Trinitas is a small primary care practice for the whole family, and Dr. Yanni is its physician. She is board certified in both internal medicine and pediatrics, so one doctor can see a mother and her children. Menopause care sits inside the women's health visit, with hormone therapy as one of the options. She writes that she has been a cancer patient herself, and that it taught her how much being listened to matters. The practice bills insurance as a regular office, and an optional concierge membership for PPO patients adds longer visits and same-day or next-day access. Video visits are listed only as a concierge perk and only within California.
Lim Women's and Urologic Health is a small virtual practice run by Dr. Lim out of Santa Cruz. Her site says she is the first and only fellowship trained female urologist and urogynecologist in Santa Cruz County. Care is built around longer visits and direct contact with her instead of a packed clinic schedule. The focus is menopause and hormonal health, recurrent urinary tract infections, vaginal and pelvic health, and preventive urologic care. She says plainly that the practice is not for emergencies or for anything that needs an in person exam right away. The practice has not opened for booking yet, and new patients join a waitlist.
Dr. Correia is a board-certified OB-GYN who runs a small private clinic that also sees men and offers primary care, weight loss and longevity medicine. Menopause care is one of several services, with its own program built around bioidentical hormones in cream, patch and oral forms. A first visit starts with a hormone panel and a review of symptoms and history. Follow-up labs come about six to eight weeks later, and doses are rechecked every three to six months. The clinic does not take insurance and does not offer online booking, so new patients call to schedule. Visits can be in the Pismo Beach office or by video, and a nurse practitioner also sees patients there on Thursdays.
Dr. Dombo is a board-certified OB-GYN who is going through the menopausal transition herself. She says starting hormone therapy and changing her nutrition and supplements took her from exhaustion and poor sleep back to enjoying life, and that is why she does this work. She trained in the early 2000s, when hormone therapy was widely feared, and now calls it the gold standard for symptom relief. The first visit runs 60 minutes and covers medical and gynecologic history, medications, nutrition and exercise, then a personal treatment plan. The visit also lists a nutritionist assessment, an exercise plan and mindset coaching, and follow-ups run 25 minutes. She writes publicly about why menopause hits Black women harder and how often they face barriers to care.
This is a small concierge practice built around long, unhurried visits and a low number of patients. Dr. Greenwald focuses on perimenopause and menopause, hormone therapy and sexual health. She trained at UCSF, built her practice with Stanford Health Care, still teaches there and works on the obstetrics side at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center several days a month. Care runs through a membership, and visits can be in person or by video. She is not taking new patients right now. Two colleagues in the same practice, Dr. Nazaneen Homaifar and Dr. Sarah Isquick, are certified menopause providers and are taking new members.
Dr. Queen trained in emergency medicine and spent about twenty years in Bay Area hospitals before opening her own concierge practice. Menopause care runs as a six or twelve month membership with an evaluation, follow-up visits, secure messaging and an in-office bone density ultrasound scan. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits and pairs it with functional medicine and nutrition, and two nutritionists work with the practice. GLP-1 weight medication can be part of the plan for women whose metabolism shifted in midlife. The practice does not bill insurance but gives free superbills for out-of-network claims. Visits can be in person in Mill Valley or by video.
Dr. Hannon is an OB-GYN who runs this Inner Richmond practice with her father, Dr. Ziyad Hannon, and a nurse practitioner who is also a Menopause Society certified practitioner. The practice describes its care as trauma-informed, and Dr. Hannon is an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ patients, including gender-affirming surgery. For menopause they prescribe patches, gels, pills and vaginal estrogen, with micronized progesterone, and they also offer nonhormonal options such as Veozah. Testosterone and other libido medications are available when low desire is the main concern. Labs are used only when they are clinically needed. Visits are in person, and new patients can request an appointment online or by phone.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
