Menopause Specialists Who Accept Medicare in Georgia
141 practitioners have an office in Georgia, and 71 more can see patients here by telehealth. 129 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Atlanta, Marietta and Decatur.
SmartMED is a family owned clinic in Roswell where most care happens at a drive-thru window, though primary care and hormone visits take place inside the building. Melissa Anderson runs the primary care and hormone management side of the practice. She is a member of The Menopause Society and did her hormone training through Harvard certification programs. A hormone visit starts with a symptom and history review, then targeted hormone and thyroid labs, and prescription hormone therapy when it fits, with follow-up labs to track how it is going. The practice runs its own lab arm, so you can pay for panels directly instead of going through insurance. One thing to know is that they do not prescribe controlled substances and will refer you elsewhere for those.
Ginger Bennett is a nurse practitioner and midwife who has cared for women in Moultrie since 2002. She works alongside Dr. Betty Koukis in a small gynecology office run by and for women. The practice lists menopause counseling and treatment and hormone replacement therapy among its services, and says it uses saliva testing to guide hormone therapy. Osteoporosis screening and treatment is also offered, along with in-office gynecologic procedures. New patients can request an appointment online and print intake forms before the first visit. The office also runs a spa side with massage, facials, Botox and IV hydration.
Faubion is an internist at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville and sees patients through its Women's Health Specialty Clinic. She founded and directs the Mayo Clinic Center for Women's Health, and every condition listed on her own clinical page is a menopause or female sexual health one, so midlife care is the whole of her practice. The clinic runs two routes for a new patient, a menopause consultation that covers natural, surgical and cancer treatment induced menopause as well as primary ovarian insufficiency, and a sexual health consultation for low libido and painful sex. Her page says she helps women work through hormone therapy and understand their options. Appointments go through Mayo's central request process, which in most cases needs no referral, and established patients message her team through the Mayo patient portal. She also practices at Mayo's Rochester campus, and away from work she grows orchids and cooks.
The Women's Center is a gynecology and urogynecology practice with offices in Conyers and Stockbridge, and Dr. Gordon started it in 2003. It is not an obstetrics practice, so no one's appointment gets bumped for a delivery, and the office keeps a no double booking policy. A menopause visit begins with your history, an exam and bloodwork to check hormone levels. The practice prescribes FDA-approved estrogen and progesterone as pills, creams or in-office injections. It also offers compounded bioidentical creams and pellets placed under the skin, plus non-hormonal options such as clonidine for hot flashes. Her own focus is heavy periods and incontinence, and she was one of the first physicians in the country to be board certified in urogynecology.
Dr. Sweeney is a gynecologist at Piedmont OB-GYN, a group practice of women's doctors on Collier Road near Piedmont Atlanta Hospital. She lists menopause care and sexual wellness among her main interests, along with fibroids and minimally invasive surgery. She spent years with Kaiser Permanente Georgia before joining this practice. The practice offers hormone therapy by vaginal, oral or skin routes and schedules regular follow-up visits to check how treatment is working. Care is in the office, and the practice bills insurance for visits.
Dr. White is an OB/GYN with Wellstar who sees patients at the group's Douglasville office and has been with the system since 2016. Menopause is the one condition her Wellstar profile lists as a focus. New patients can book a perimenopause or menopause visit online through MyChart, and a video visit is one of the options. She trained at Morehouse School of Medicine and is affiliated with Wellstar Douglas and Wellstar Cobb hospitals. Patient reviews often say she listens closely and walks through results and options step by step.
Dr. Sunkireddy is a family doctor who also holds board certifications in obesity and lifestyle medicine, and she runs menopause care herself at her own practice in Cumming. The first visit is a long conversation about symptoms, cycle changes and overall health, with hormone testing if it is needed. From there she builds a plan that may use hormone therapy, non-hormonal medication or lifestyle changes, and she weighs the risks before prescribing. She pays particular attention to midlife weight gain, and a dietitian and health coach work alongside her. Follow-ups can be done by video, and the same office also handles primary care and urgent visits.
