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.
Dandamudi practices at Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group's East Santa Clara Care Center and sees adults only. Most of her listed work is general internal medicine, things like annual physicals, blood pressure and diabetes, with menopause care alongside it. She is board certified in obesity medicine, and that shapes what she says she focuses on in menopause. Her stated interests are weight gain, sexual dysfunction, bone health, and menopause care for cancer survivors. Her panel is closed to new patients, and the people she already sees schedule visits through Sutter's My Health Online portal, where video visits are an option. She writes that she wants to know patients as a whole person and to build long term relationships rather than fix one problem at a time.
Dr. de Edwards is a general obstetrician-gynecologist who says she has practiced gynecology since 1983. Menopause management and female sexuality are the two areas she names as her subspecialties. She also does routine gynecology and pregnancy care with delivery, so this is not a menopause-only office. It is her own small practice in the Gladstone Medical Park building in Pittsburg. Her site does not say which menopause treatments she prescribes. She writes short blog posts on menopause symptoms and on early menopause after chemotherapy, radiation or removal of the ovaries.
Dr. Johansen runs a small concierge internal medicine practice in Palo Alto and limits how many members she takes. Members pay a recurring fee and can reach her directly by cell, email or text at any hour. Same-day visits happen in the office, virtually or at home. Menopause care sits inside her general primary care and preventive work, and the site describes preventive care for women through the menopausal transition and beyond. She spent more than twelve years on the Stanford medicine faculty. The site does not say which hormone treatments she prescribes.
Erica Buck is an acute care nurse practitioner with more than 20 years of experience in cardiology. She is also a certified diabetes educator and holds a plant-based nutrition certification. She sees patients at a small office in Palos Verdes Estates on Mondays and Thursdays, with other times on request, and phone consultations are available. The first visit is a full hour to go over symptoms and talk through starting hormone therapy. A follow-up about three weeks later reviews how treatment is going and adjusts it, and after that she holds a yearly menopause check-up. Intake forms are on her website to fill in before the visit.
Elizabeth Swenson is a board certified obstetrician gynecologist certified by the Menopause Society. Her listing points to Gennev, a national telehealth menopause service that bills insurance and also publishes self pay rates. Gennev does not name her anywhere. Its Our Providers page lists thirty six doctors and she is not among them, the site search returns no result for her, and no bio page exists for her while other clinicians' bios load normally. No other current practice could be found for her.
Green Valley Women's Health is Dr. Pahlavan's own gynecology office in Fairfield. She covers routine gynecologic care, first trimester obstetrics and menopause care, and her services page names menopausal hormone therapy. Surgery is what sets her apart. She finished a fellowship in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and does hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, robotic and office based procedures, so fibroids and endometriosis get treated rather than referred out. She also offers MonaLisa Touch vaginal laser. She has practiced in Solano County and the East Bay since 2003. The site is three pages and gives no way to book online, so a new patient has to call or text the office.
Anna Bobba is a board-certified OB-GYN with more than 20 years of experience. Her solo practice in Beverly Hills covers menopause and perimenopause, weight and metabolic health, and lifestyle medicine. She says she started it after watching women get one-size-fits-all treatment for menopause and weight problems. Hormone therapy and non-hormonal options are both offered, and weight care includes FDA-approved medications and a body composition analysis. Visits can be in person, by video, as house calls, or as a concierge service. The site does not publish prices, insurance or online booking, so a new patient starts with a consult by phone or email.
Dr. Lepine opened the Cottage Ob/Gyn Clinic in Santa Barbara in 2023 and ran it as medical director, and Cottage Health still described her in that role in February 2025. In June 2026 Cottage Health named a different physician medical director of that clinic, and the announcement does not mention Dr. Lepine. She is no longer named on the clinic's provider team page, she does not appear anywhere in Cottage Health's physician directory, and her Cottage profile page has been taken down. Before Santa Barbara she practiced obstetrics and gynecology at Kaiser in Kona, Hawaii, and did relief work for PeaceHealth in Washington and Alaska. She trained at UC San Diego and then did an Epidemic Intelligence Service fellowship at the CDC, which is unusual for a practicing gynecologist, and she speaks Spanish. We could not find a current practice for her, so there is no way to tell a reader how to reach her today.
Rhonda Gottmann is a women's health nurse practitioner certified by the Menopause Society. Her listing points to Midi Health, a virtual menopause clinic that sees patients by video only and refers out for anything needing an in person exam. Her registry record lists five Midi locations across New York, Kentucky, Florida, Ohio and Arizona, all sharing the company's single phone line. Midi does not currently name her anywhere on its site. Her bio page there returns a not found error and she is absent from the clinician directory, and no other current practice could be found for her.
