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.
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.
Millie is a Berkeley and San Jose women's health clinic that grew out of maternity care and now runs a perimenopause and menopause service open to anyone, not only its pregnancy patients. Erin is a family nurse practitioner with more than ten years in primary care and women's health, and she is one of a handful of clinicians at the Berkeley office you can pick by name when you book a menopause evaluation. She also sees women through Midi Health for menopause and midlife care, and she has done extra training in women's integrative medicine. Most menopause visits can be done by video, and you come into the Berkeley office when lab work, imaging or an exam is needed. The clinic was started by a patient who landed in the ER with postpartum preeclampsia and the midwife she called afterwards to ask what had gone wrong.
Takes Medicaid managed care, Covered California +3
Molly Jacobs is one of four clinicians in Open Door Gynecology, the gynecology service that runs out of the Plaza clinic in Arcata. That service treats menopause symptoms and prescribes hormone therapy, and it also handles contraception, heavy or irregular periods, pelvic pain, prolapse and PCOS. Open Door is a nonprofit community health center network on California's North Coast, so new patients start by calling its Member Services team rather than booking online. Income is checked at the visit for a sliding fee discount, and it applies even to patients who have insurance, which is part of why no fee list is published. Jacobs is also on the Plaza clinic's pregnancy and delivery panels, and the clinic runs its own lab with drop-in hours. Visits can be done by video through the patient portal, and providers can order tests and prescribe medication during a video visit.
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.
Dana is a nurse midwife and a Santa Cruz native. After about a decade in corporate medicine she started Nurture to offer a more personal kind of women's care, with fertility, perimenopause and menopause as a focus. Menopause visits start with a symptom assessment and hormone lab testing. Treatment can include bioidentical hormone therapy, along with diet, activity and breathwork suggestions. She has extra training in female sexual medicine and hereditary cancer genetics, and libido is a named part of her menopause care. Most contact between visits runs through the practice's messaging portal, and visits can be in person or by video.
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.
Mary Newberry Davis is a certified nurse midwife at MarinHealth OB/GYN in Greenbrae, a MarinHealth Medical Network clinic. She has done midwifery and women's health work in the Bay Area for over twenty years and has been at MarinHealth since 2011. Most of her practice is birth care and gynecological care across the lifespan, and her bio says she also helps midlife patients work through the menopause transition with evidence-based information. She trained at UCSF and is a NARM Informed Professional, so she pays attention to how hard life experiences affect health, and she looks for the cause of a problem rather than treating symptoms alone. Visits happen in person at the Greenbrae office or by video, and the clinic publishes a new-patient registration form and an online appointment request. MarinHealth also runs a separate menopause clinic under another physician, and she is not on that team, so menopause care with her happens inside the regular OB/GYN practice.
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.
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.
Bloom Wellness MD is Dr. Griffin's own integrative practice in Roseville, built around perimenopause and menopause care. She spent 10 years in family medicine and 11 years in integrative and functional medicine at Sutter Health before opening it, and she is fellowship trained at the University of Arizona's Andrew Weil Center. Her first choice for hormone therapy is FDA-approved bioidentical products such as estradiol patches, gels, sprays and rings, and she turns to compounded hormones only when a commercial product cannot meet a patient's dosing or ingredient needs. The practice does not provide primary care or urgent care, so you need to keep your own primary care physician. New patients can book a free 15-minute call first, and the initial visit runs a full hour. A certified health coach is available for optional one-on-one sessions on nutrition and elimination diets.
Barbara Dougherty is a nurse practitioner at YoungerMeMD, a hormone and longevity practice in Conshohocken. The monthly membership is charged on top of the cost of treatment and does not include medication. The intake fee covers baseline lab work, which is drawn at Quest only and needs 8 to 12 hours of fasting. Beyond hormone care the practice also offers peptides, low dose naltrexone and rapamycin.
Dr. Cantor is a family physician in the primary care division at the OHSU Center for Women's Health in Portland. She sees women and girls from age 12 onward and provides general primary care alongside menopause care. Her OHSU profile lists women's health and menopause as her clinical focus, and she became a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner in 2024. The clinic treats menopause symptoms as part of primary care and can refer patients to a separate menopause specialty clinic at the same center. OHSU describes hormone therapy given as pills, patches, gels, sprays or vaginal forms, and non-hormonal options such as SERMs and low dose antidepressants. She is also a senior investigator at the OHSU evidence based practice center, where her reviews have informed national women's health guidelines.
Rachel Frankenthal is a physician assistant in UCLA Health's gynecologic oncology practice in Westwood, and she also sees patients at the Westlake Village OBGYN office. Most of her work is with women who have gynecologic cancers or a high inherited risk of them. She started UCLA's menopause clinic for gynecologic cancer survivors and is the cancer survivorship provider for the health system's menopause program. For survivors pushed into early menopause by treatment, the program says it goes through both hormonal and non-hormonal options alongside lifestyle changes. She is also a certified yoga and pilates instructor, and she teaches the free weekly online yoga and meditation class for gynecologic cancer survivors. New patients start with a request-an-appointment form on her UCLA profile.
Dr. Cohen is an OB-GYN with Sutter East Bay Medical Group, seeing patients at the Adeline Care Center in Berkeley and at a second office in Richmond. Her own philosophy of care names symptoms of menopause along with abnormal bleeding, fibroids, endometriosis and pregnancy care, so menopause sits inside a full obstetrics and gynecology practice rather than a dedicated menopause clinic. She directs the OB-GYN residency program at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center and is board certified in obesity medicine as well as obstetrics and gynecology, which is worth knowing if weight is part of what you want help with. Unusually for this health system, her own page publishes the list of plans she takes. Video visits are offered to existing patients only, so a first appointment has to be in person.
Dr. Meserve is an internist who started Framework Health and has practiced in Newport Beach since 2004. It is a small concierge practice, and menopause care is part of the general membership rather than a separate program. She treats the effects of estrogen loss in women and low testosterone in men, and she frames her work around healthy aging, with sleep, heart risk and memory alongside hormones. Hormone therapy is used where it fits and alternatives where it does not. New patients start with a free 15 minute phone call. She sees patients in the Fashion Island office or by video, and her longtime office manager has worked with her since 2008.
Dr. Hillman is an integrative and functional medicine physician at Sutter's Pacific Heights Care Center in San Francisco. She sees adults and works on hormone imbalances along with thyroid and adrenal problems, perimenopause and menopause, food sensitivities, digestive issues and cardiometabolic health. Her own page says she has special interest or training in bio-identical hormone balancing and in specialty laboratory testing meant to reveal problems that standard testing misses. She looks for the underlying cause of symptoms rather than treating them one at a time. She has practiced meditation for 30 years in a tradition that combines mindfulness and compassion, and she offers it to patients who want it. Her panel is closed right now, and the video visits she offers are for existing patients only.
Hung is an internal medicine doctor at Stanford's primary care clinic in Santa Clara, where she sees perimenopausal and menopausal patients in PeriWell, a clinic she runs inside the practice. She is the Director of Women's Health for Stanford's primary care department and co-directs the university's annual menopause conference for clinicians. Alongside menopause care she works on bone health and midlife weight gain, and she leads group visits every other month on preventing and treating osteoporosis. The clinic keeps a care coordinator in the room during each visit to take notes and handle referrals afterwards, and it has a dietitian, pharmacist, physical therapist and behavioral health clinician onsite. New patients can book a first appointment online, and video and phone visits are offered. She speaks Mandarin as well as English.
Sarah Noble is a family nurse practitioner who works in the obstetrics and gynecology department of Sutter East Bay Medical Group. She sees patients at two East Bay offices, one in Brentwood and one in Antioch, on weekdays. New patients can book online through My Health Online, Sutter's patient portal, which is also how appointments and messages are handled afterwards. Video visits are open only to people who are already her patients, so a first appointment has to be in person. Sutter's provider page carries no bio and does not say which conditions she treats or whether she prescribes hormone therapy.
