Menopause Specialists Who Accept Medicare in District of Columbia
31 practitioners have an office in District of Columbia, and 78 more can see patients here by telehealth. 72 of them are certified by the Menopause Society.
Capital Women's Care DC is a group OB-GYN practice near Foggy Bottom, and Dr. Bajaj is the managing partner of the Washington office. She spent nearly two decades doing both obstetrics and gynecology, then stopped obstetrics in 2022 to practice gynecology only, with perimenopause and menopause as her focus. She says she wants to close the knowledge gap around hormone replacement therapy, and she writes publicly about women's health on a site of her own. You book online or by phone, and appointments can be in person or by video. Alongside menopause care the office does in-office procedures and minimally invasive gyn surgery, so a woman who needs both can stay in one place. Worth knowing is that the practice says an annual well-woman visit with the doctor of your choice usually takes one to three months to get.
Caitlin Givens is one of two providers at Takoma Park Gynecology, a small woman-owned gynecology practice run by nurse-midwives. The practice covers care from adolescence through menopause and beyond, and it does no pregnancy care. A new patient can book with her online, either as a full new patient visit with an exam or as a menopause consultation that is a conversation only. She prescribes FDA-approved hormone therapy, including estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and uses compounded hormones only when a manufactured product is unavailable or a poor fit. Beyond menopause she works in sexual medicine and chronic vulvar conditions, and the practice also handles bone health and prescription weight management. Her interest in women's health began as a Peace Corps volunteer in northern Senegal, and she teaches nurse-midwifery and women's health students at Georgetown.
