Menopause Specialists Who Accept Insurance 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.
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.
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.
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. 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.
Dr. La Perla is an OB-GYN with Women's Health Group, part of the large Women's Health Connecticut network, and sees patients in Enfield and Wethersfield. She joined the group in 2022 after residency at St. Francis, where she won an award for excellence in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. Her bio links to her Menopause Society certification. The group's menopause care uses standard hormone therapy with estrogen and progestin, and it also offers non-hormonal medicines for hot flashes. She works within a full-scope gynecology practice rather than a menopause-only clinic, and her bio says she is taking new patients.
