Menopause Society Certified Practitioners in Connecticut
85 practitioners have an office in Connecticut, and 87 more can see patients here by telehealth. 119 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Greenwich, New Haven and Stamford.
Dr. Ghofrany is a longtime OB/GYN who runs a video-only menopause practice for women in Connecticut and Florida. Care comes as a six-month or one-year membership with an hour-long first visit, shorter follow-ups and unlimited portal messages, or as a single one-hour consult. She requires every patient to keep her own primary care doctor and gynecologist for exams and screening, and asks for recent screening results when you join. She prescribes hormone therapy often, mostly FDA-approved bioidentical products from regular pharmacies, and uses compounding only when a patient needs a formula that isn't sold commercially. She is not the place for a quick hormone refill, because visits center on talking through options like nutrition, exercise and mindset alongside medication. She speaks openly about her own ovarian cancer and surgical menopause, and also sees women dealing with cancer survivorship, endometriosis and PCOS.
Nicole Sandilands runs a small hormone practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, with a strong focus on women after cancer treatment. She spent six years as director of sexual health and survivorship for breast cancer patients at a community hospital, and sexual health after cancer remains a big part of her work. Care starts with a free discovery call and intake forms, then an hour-long first visit, with follow-ups by video or in person in Connecticut. She prescribes FDA-approved hormones and testosterone and will also use compounded formulations, and she weighs hormone risk carefully for survivors. An optional low-cost monthly membership adds direct texting and email with her between visits.
Ally Pitman is a women's health nurse practitioner at a small Connecticut practice where most visits happen by video. Her focus is women who have had breast or gynecologic cancer and are dealing with hot flashes, sleep trouble and other hormonal symptoms after treatment. For survivors who cannot take hormones she works with non-hormonal options, and she also treats perimenopause, menopause and PMDD in women without a cancer history. Care starts with a 60-minute first visit, and labs are ordered before it so the results are ready to discuss. She works alongside two other nurse practitioners in the practice, one of whom handles autoimmune and rheumatology problems. In-person visits are limited and take place in a physical therapy office in Gales Ferry.
Dr. DiGirolamo is a reproductive endocrinologist who spent a decade as a fertility specialist at Boston IVF before opening this virtual practice. She sees women from their first periods through menopause, with a focus on active women and athletes, and she manages perimenopause, menopause and hormone therapy. Care starts with a 50-minute Zoom consultation after an intake questionnaire, followed by shorter video follow-ups. Visits are video only, and a medical visit is only possible if you are calling in from a state where she is licensed. She is also a CrossFit trainer and nutrition coach, and she builds care on exercise and nutrition first, adding medication as needed. She does not provide primary care and recommends you keep your own primary care doctor.
Kerry Folkman runs a small practice focused only on perimenopause and menopause. Most visits are by video, and she sees patients in person in Brookline about one day a month. The first visit is a full hour and ends with a written treatment plan, and she sends detailed summaries after visits so you don't have to remember everything. She prescribes FDA-approved estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, though testosterone is only available to patients in Massachusetts. She also has a particular interest in how midlife hormone changes affect ADHD, anxiety and depression, and she prescribes GLP-1 medications for weight and metabolic health. Follow-up visits can be paid one at a time or through a package or subscription.
Angela Glasnapp leads Prime Women's Health and Wellness, a menopause program housed inside the New York Bariatric Group. She is a board certified bariatric surgeon and obesity medicine specialist who went on to become a certified menopause practitioner, so one doctor handles both the hormone side and the weight side of midlife. Care runs as a yearly concierge membership with extended visits, priority scheduling, and direct access to her by portal, text or email between appointments. She prescribes systemic and vaginal hormone therapy as well as non hormonal options, and will add a GLP-1 medication to a midlife plan when it fits. Visits happen in person at a few New York and New Jersey offices or by video for patients in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Kristine Groemping is a family nurse practitioner and former Navy officer who started out in labor and delivery nursing and later worked as a menopause specialist at Evernow. She founded this small cash-pay practice, which treats perimenopause and menopause along with weight management, thyroid conditions and low libido in women. She is openly against pellets, pricey supplements and frequent hormone lab testing, and follows Menopause Society guidelines for estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Most care happens by video, with refills handled by video or secure message, and she also sees patients at an office in southwest Austin. New patients can request a first hormone, testosterone or weight consultation online, and the booking page also offers a free introductory call.
Sistah Pause is a virtual practice for Black women 35 and older, and Barrie says midlife hormone care is the only thing it does. Every new client starts with a paid assessment called Pause, Sis Discovery, which pairs an intake and baseline labs with a 60-minute video review and a written summary of what was found and what to treat first. No prescribing happens at that step. Treatment begins only if you enroll in the six-month program that follows, where she adjusts the plan, repeats labs and handles check-ins through the portal between visits. Hormone therapy is one option rather than the default, and she also uses thyroid medication, non-hormonal medication and prescription weight-management drugs when she thinks they fit. She writes that her own experience with hormonal changes and overlapping symptoms shaped how she practices, and she is direct that this care sits alongside your primary care doctor and gynecologist instead of replacing them.
Dr. Menn is an OB/GYN who sees menopause patients only by video, and only women living in New York, Connecticut, Vermont or Florida. She survived breast cancer more than 20 years ago, went through premature menopause herself and carries a BRCA mutation. A lot of her practice is breast cancer survivors and BRCA carriers who want help with menopause symptoms and hormone questions. The first visit is an hour long. It covers your history and a risk check for heart, breast and bone health, and ends with a written plan that may include hormone therapy, vaginal hormones or non-hormonal medicine. New patients email the office first and are then told which visit to book. She works alongside your own gynecologist or oncologist rather than replacing them.
Diana Kumar is a board certified OB-GYN who co-founded Gliss Wellness, a virtual practice built around perimenopause and menopause. All care happens by video and secure messaging, so there is no office to visit. A menopause visit runs about 30 minutes and ends with a plan and prescriptions for an initial three month period, followed by a check-in visit before refills continue for the rest of the year. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits, can order labs and scans, and sends prescriptions to the patient's own pharmacy. She also sees women for weight counseling and for urgent gynecology problems handled through a short written form. Her stated areas of interest are PCOS, sexual dysfunction, bone health and longevity medicine.
Kristen founded Harmony Health Partners after decades as a women's health nurse practitioner, and she wrote openly about leaving rushed, insurance-driven care to build it. The practice is mostly telehealth for Connecticut patients, with limited in-person visits at an office inside a physical therapy clinic in Gales Ferry. Every new patient starts with a 60-minute Blueprint visit, and labs are ordered before it so the first appointment is spent on results and a plan. She prescribes bioidentical estradiol, progesterone and testosterone, and also treats weight gain, insulin resistance, thyroid problems, PCOS and PMDD. She works alongside two other nurse practitioners, one focused on cancer survivors and one on autoimmune and joint conditions, and coordinates care with them when symptoms overlap.
Tammie Blair sees patients through Midi Health, a virtual women's health clinic that works by video only. She focuses on the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause, and names weight shifts, poor sleep, mood changes and painful sex as the symptoms those changes drive. A first visit runs about 30 minutes and ends with a written care plan, and follow-ups are shorter check-ins you can book as often as you need. Midi's hormone options are FDA-approved patches, pills, gels, creams and sprays, and a plan can also include vaginal estrogen, non-hormone prescriptions and GLP-1 medication. There is no office to visit, so Midi refers out anything that needs an exam such as a mammogram and asks you to keep seeing your own regular doctors. Her own page on the site has a booking link that starts a new patient with her.
Dr. Weisenfeld is a board-certified internist with rheumatology training who runs a small private-pay practice only for perimenopause and menopause. She sees patients in person in Westport and by video across Connecticut and New York. The first visit is a 50-minute consultation, and she pays particular attention to bone health. She also sees women with a history of breast cancer, and a free discovery call is offered before booking.
A menopause and perimenopause practice run out of a direct primary care office in Orange, with visits in person or by video. Care is a multi-year membership whose check-ins thin out as symptoms settle, every two months in the first year and every six months from the third, with extra visits in between at no added cost. The practice is deliberately a specialized addition rather than a replacement, and asks patients to keep their own primary care doctor and gynecologist. A separate one-off consultation is available for women who want an assessment and a written summary to take to their own physician, and it excludes prescribing.
Tanya Smith is a nurse-midwife who moved from pregnancy and birth care to looking after women in perimenopause and menopause. Her practice is entirely by video, and you need to be in Connecticut at the time of each visit. She prescribes FDA-approved bioidentical hormones, testosterone and non-hormonal options, and would rather treat by symptoms than by hormone blood levels. Nutrition and fitness are a big part of her care, with glucose monitor coaching and a workout app. She talks openly about going from overweight to winning a bikini competition at 47 in the middle of perimenopause. New patients book online and fill in intake forms before the first visit.
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.
A concierge integrative and functional internal medicine practice in Manhattan for adults with chronic conditions and midlife health, led by a board-certified internist who is also a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. Care is sold as twelve-month packages pairing physician visits with an integrative health advisor. The first assessment is a 90-minute consultation plus an advisor visit, and New York patients are encouraged to come in for a brief exam. Consultations are by video, with unlimited portal messaging and calls answered within one to two business days.
Dr. Bernard is a family doctor in New Milford with extra fellowship training in reproductive health. Menopause care and hormone therapy are a named part of her practice, alongside sexual health and caring for patients with complicated medical histories. Before medical school she worked in contraceptive research. She sees patients at the Northwell primary care office and at the Women's Wellness Center at New Milford Hospital, both on Elm Street. She grew up in the town and speaks Spanish as well as English. Appointments are made by calling the office.
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.
Dana Johnson is a registered nurse who spent about 20 years in the ICU before founding Qavah Functional Wellness, a telehealth-only practice. She started it after her own Long COVID turned into autoimmune and gut problems and then a hard menopause transition. Hormone therapy is offered to Alabama residents only, while the lab and gut health services also reach a few other southern states. Each hormone plan starts with lab work and a consultation, and bioidentical hormones come as creams, gels, pills, troches or injections. Prescriptions are written by the practice's licensed providers rather than by Dana, who is a nurse. New patients start with an online consultation request, and the team calls back within one business day.
Dr. Dweck is a gynecologist who sees menopause patients at Well by Messer, a multi-specialty metabolic and wellness practice on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. She moved there after 29 years in practice in Westchester County. At the practice she focuses on gynecology, menopause and sexual health, including hormone therapy, painful sex, low libido and vaginal changes after menopause. She also has training in medical sex therapy, which is unusual for a menopause doctor. New patients request an appointment through an online form, and the office calls back within a day to confirm it. Outside the clinic she is chief medical officer of Bonafide, a company that makes non-drug menopause products.
A solo direct-pay practice in Lone Tree whose stated scope is dermatology, cosmetic procedures and medically supervised weight management. The physician is board certified in dermatology and obesity medicine. Every initial visit is by video, with in-person follow-ups by appointment, and the practice does not bill insurance. Hormone replacement therapy is named only as one reason for a new-patient visit on the fee schedule, and no hormone or menopause care is described anywhere else on the site.
Dr Adegbola runs a one-office lifestyle medicine practice in King of Prussia and sees patients in person or by video. She says plainly that she does not do primary care or urgent care, so she works alongside whoever already handles that for you. Hormone care here is bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and she builds the plan from lab panels and body composition data. She also runs a medical weight loss track using GLP-1 medications and a gut health program built on stool and food sensitivity testing. She trained as a physician-scientist and says the metabolic shifts she noticed in her own mid-30s are what pushed her toward this work. New patients start with a consultation and can then pay per visit or join a monthly membership that adds short visits and messaging access in between, though women on Medicare can be seen but cannot join a membership.
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.
