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.
Ignite Health is a solo, telehealth-only practice run by Kiesha Katsares, a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner who also holds a Certificate of Advanced Education in Obesity Medicine. Every new patient starts at the same entry point, a twelve-week concierge program that evaluates hormones, metabolism, weight, sleep, mood, energy and sexual health. It includes secure messaging throughout and ends in a follow-up visit where the patient picks a continued-care track. Those tracks range from pay-as-you-go follow-ups to a membership that folds routine primary care in with hormone and metabolic management. She specifically takes women with complex histories, including a history of breast cancer, and will use non-hormonal options and coordinate with oncology when hormones are not appropriate.
Prévant Health is Erin Phamvan's own virtual practice, and every visit happens by video. It runs as a 12-month membership with a long first visit, quarterly follow-ups, and texting with Erin between visits. Menopause care is built around detailed lab work and shared decisions about hormones, alongside thyroid, heart and metabolic care. She is also trained in an Alzheimer's prevention program and folds brain-health risk into her plans. Although the mailing address is in Nashville, the practice currently sees patients only in a set of other states, and Tennessee is not one of them. You keep your own primary care provider for in-person exams and urgent needs.
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.
Jackie Stone, MD sees women entirely by telehealth, in a practice she runs alone. She is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and in obesity medicine, and treats perimenopause, menopause and primary ovarian insufficiency alongside PCOS, genitourinary symptoms, sexual wellness, and skin and hair changes. First visits run a full hour and cover past records, labs and a treatment plan. Ongoing care is by monthly membership or visit by visit, with direct messaging for members.
Hope King runs a small nurse practitioner owned practice in Ormond Beach that combines direct primary care with hormone care for women in perimenopause and menopause. She worked as a nurse from 2002 and later as a nurse practitioner in urgent care, family practice and mental health before opening her own practice. There are no medical assistants on purpose, so patients deal with her directly and can call or text her. Her menopause care leans heavily on metabolic health, pairing hormone therapy with a dietitian-built anti-inflammatory nutrition plan and supplements guided by bloodwork. She is trained in bioidentical hormone therapy and also prescribes non-hormonal options for low libido. Visits are in person or by video, and patients join through a membership.
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.
Krystal Algier is a nurse practitioner with a small self-pay practice in Easton that offers hormone and weight care alongside aesthetic skin treatments. Women usually start with a short one-on-one clarity session. If more care makes sense, she moves on to a full hormone evaluation with a history review, lab work and a written plan. She sees patients in person in Easton and by telehealth in Maryland, Delaware and Florida.
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.
Concierge Medicine of Westlake is Dr. Fiffick's own practice. She keeps the patient panel small and runs it on annual memberships rather than billing insurance. The women's health membership covers non-obstetric care through midlife, with perimenopause and menopause symptom management alongside bone health, cardiovascular risk and urogenital health, and it includes hormone prescription management when she judges it appropriate. Members get 30 or 60 minute visits, same or next day openings, and her direct phone, text and email, and virtual visits are offered as a supplement with prior approval when an exam is not needed. She came to women's health through family medicine after being told early on that the only route was OB-GYN, then spent two years in the Cleveland Clinic's Specialized Women's Health fellowship. As an osteopathic physician she also does hands-on manipulative treatment, which patients can buy as its own membership or one visit at a time.
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.

Kelly Perisin is a nurse practitioner at MyMenopauseRx, a video-only practice that treats nothing but perimenopause and menopause. It was started by a Chicago-area gynecologist and bills insurance like a regular office. Visits take about 30 minutes on Zoom, and you can book the same clinician every time and message the care team between visits. Kelly came to menopause care from weight management and urgent care, and she draws on that when helping women with midlife weight gain. The practice prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone sent to your own pharmacy, and it prescribes testosterone directly only for patients in Illinois. It is meant to work alongside your own primary care doctor, who still handles anything that needs a physical exam.
Dr. Sharma runs a small direct primary care practice in north Wilmington, seeing patients 13 and up on a monthly membership rather than billing insurance. Women's health is her stated focus, from menstrual problems and fertility through postpartum and menopause including hormone therapy, alongside ordinary primary care for thyroid disease, diabetes and blood pressure. The first visit runs about 90 minutes and ends with a care plan, and after that members reach her directly by text, phone, video or office visit, with same or next day openings. She trained in family medicine, then did an integrative medicine fellowship at the Andrew Weil Center, and she works on nutrition, sleep, movement and stress first, using prescriptions, herbs and supplements as needed. Her yoga and Ayurveda training shapes a lot of that, and the membership includes workshops and cooking classes for families. The patient panel is full right now, so new patients sign up to be told when appointments open.
Mbwidiffu Dibal founded this Newark practice as the menopause arm of her family medicine clinic, Oasis Family Wellness, and she runs a sister hormone clinic out of the same office. Care spans perimenopause to postmenopause and covers hormone testing, hormone and non-hormonal medication, and low-dose vaginal estrogen for genitourinary symptoms. She also handles the midlife risks that sit alongside it, with bone density and cardiometabolic screening and weight management, and she takes referrals from other clinicians for thyroid and adrenal problems. The clinic runs EmpowerRF in office, a radiofrequency and pelvic floor stimulation treatment aimed at vaginal dryness, laxity and urinary leakage. Her hormone training came from two physicians with decades in hormone optimization, and she says she pays attention to how a patient feels day to day rather than only the lab numbers. She has been a nurse practitioner in Delaware since 2012, worked at ChristianaCare and Westside Family Healthcare, and writes about how being Nigerian American shapes her attention to culture and family in a patient's health.
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.
Glow Health is a solo virtual practice run by Andrea Martin, DNP, CRNP, WHNP, MSCP, for women in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware. Care begins with a lab review built around each patient's results, then continues as a six-month menopause program or an ongoing membership, with direct messaging between visits. She also treats pelvic pain and pelvic floor problems, runs a metabolic program for weight, and prescribes vaginal estradiol through a short online intake for women who need only that.
