53 practitioners have an office in Iowa, and 56 more can see patients here by telehealth. 79 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Iowa City, Des Moines and West Des Moines.
AlcheMe Health is a small Davenport practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, founded by nurse practitioner Kristin Everhart. Labs are ordered two weeks before the first visit, so the hour-long first consultation goes straight to your results and options. She prefers to start with FDA-approved hormones and compounds only when needed, and she does not offer pellets, which the practice calls invasive and not FDA-approved. She also starts one hormone at a time so you can tell what each one does, and offers low-dose testosterone for women. Medical weight management with in-office body scans is a big part of the practice, and GLP-1 medication can be part of that plan. The practice does not replace your primary care provider or gynecologist.
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.
Dr. Moayedi is a Dallas OB/GYN who specializes in complex family planning and runs her own small practice. Her perimenopause and menopause care happens entirely by video, and she reviews your history and explains the science behind the treatment plan. Between visits you can text her directly with questions. Most patients need one or two follow-up visits to adjust doses, then a yearly visit to keep refills going. Prescriptions go to whatever pharmacy you choose. The practice doesn't take insurance, but it works with nonprofit funds to help Texas patients cover visit costs.
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.
Concierge Medicine of Minnesota is a membership practice in Apple Valley where Dr. Westmoreland is the only doctor. One annual fee covers office visits, video and phone appointments, and direct messaging with her, and she guarantees same or next-day scheduling. New patients start with a free meet and greet, then sign a membership agreement, and the staff gathers their old records before the first full exam. Menopause and perimenopause care is her own work, and she treats hormone therapy as one option to weigh against a patient's history rather than something she starts by default. The practice says it does not use compounded medications, citing thin scientific backing and possible risks. Women who would rather not join can pay for a single two-hour consultation with her instead, and members can have her come to the house for an extra fee.
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.
Dr. Bartlett Hackenmiller is a gynecologist who trained in integrative medicine under Andrew Weil and now sees menopause, menstrual, fertility and pelvic floor concerns. She works through MercyOne OB-Gyn in Waterloo and HonorHealth Integrative Medicine in Scottsdale, and she sees many patients by video. She prescribes bioidentical hormones and uses transdermal estrogen rather than pills. She also leans on herbs, diet and mind-body work, and she has written about helping women who can't take hormones. She is a clinical herbalist and a certified forest therapy guide, and her own life, including raising a son with autism and losing her first husband to cancer, shapes how she practices.
The Group has been practicing in the Quad Cities since 1978 and is an obstetrics and gynecology practice, with its main office in Davenport and a second in Clinton open on Wednesdays. Eight physicians work alongside midwives, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, and Barclay joined in 2006. On the gynecology side the practice handles perimenopause and menopausal symptoms, and also bleeding after menopause and urinary incontinence. Bone density screening and pelvic floor therapy are done in the office, so a woman worried about her bones or her bladder can be seen in one place. Care is in person only, and a new patient either calls or sends the appointment request form, after which the office rings back to confirm details before anything is booked. The site never names a hormone treatment, so what she prescribes for menopause is not published.
Terrilee Jackel founded this small Ankeny practice, which combines primary care with hormone therapy for women and men, and she can also be your regular primary care provider. New patients start with a discovery visit. It is a group appointment where the team takes your history and draws labs, followed by an optional talk about women's health and hormones. A longer one-on-one visit follows to go over your results and leave with a treatment plan and prescriptions. Insurance covers basic visits, but hormone therapy requires the practice's paid membership. She has prescribed hormone therapy since 2017 and uses plant-derived bioidentical hormones. Follow-ups can be done by video for patients in Iowa.
ThriveWellMD is a telehealth practice run by Dr. Nicole Perrotte, an internal medicine physician with added training in lifestyle and obesity medicine who is also a certified health coach. Care starts with a two-part video assessment, with a 60-minute intake, a full lab panel and then a second 60-minute visit to go over the results and a written plan. Patients then move into monthly phases for hormones, metabolism and weight, or sexual health, with app messaging between visits. The hormone phase includes bioidentical hormone therapy made by outside compounding pharmacies. She built the practice after her own burnout, fatigue and weight gain, and it does not replace a primary care doctor.
Christine Hart Kress runs her own small menopause practice as a women's health nurse practitioner. New patients start with a short virtual menopause diagnostic call booked online. Visits are by video, and the only appointment she offers online is virtual. She has a doctorate in nursing and a long background in nursing leadership as well as clinical care.
Kim Heifner runs a small virtual menopause practice and handles her own patient panel with no assistants. She spent 26 years in acute care, much of it in emergency medicine, before her own perimenopause pushed her into menopause care. Care is a concierge membership with a six-month minimum. It starts with an hour-long first visit and a follow-up about a month later to go over labs, then regular check-ins while doses are adjusted and quarterly visits once things are stable, with direct messaging in between. She pays close attention to heart and bone risk and also treats vaginal dryness, low desire and urinary leakage with hormonal and non-hormonal options. Women outside Missouri and Iowa can book a one-time education consult with her, but it comes without prescriptions.
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.
Viva Wellness Co. is Liliana Damron's solo telehealth practice, so the first visit and the follow-ups are with her. She covers perimenopause and menopause, testosterone, medical weight management and minor sick visits, all by video. Her starting point is history and goals, and she orders labs when a test can answer a question rather than running a hormone panel on everyone. She will not prescribe hormone therapy as a weight-loss treatment and says midlife weight change needs its own evaluation. Compounded hormones are an option only when an FDA-approved product cannot meet a documented need, and the site repeats that compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. She came to this after years in geriatric care, which she says made her want people to ask these questions earlier.
Kristen Loose is the menopause specialist at Dr. Gina Mantor's medical spa and weight clinic in Westerville, where the rest of the practice focuses on aesthetics and weight loss. She treats perimenopause and menopause with standard hormone therapy, and offers non-hormonal prescriptions and lifestyle advice to women who can't or would rather not take hormones. The first consultation is free and happens by video. After that she sees patients in the office on Wednesdays and Saturdays or by appointment. She follows Menopause Society guidance closely and writes on the clinic's site that soy and black cohosh don't hold up for hot flashes.
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.
Optiml is a new practice in Winter Park run by Amber Braithwaite, a nurse practitioner, and it opens in December 2026. It will offer hormone therapy, metabolic care and what it calls healthspan medicine, aimed at people who were told their labs were normal but still don't feel right. Until it opens, the only way in is a waitlist form on its website, and the practice says it will contact people as places open up. Its full website, including prices and details of how care works, is not live yet.
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.
A small family practice in north Ames seeing patients from newborns through midlife, with stated expertise in women's health and pediatrics, run by a physician assistant who is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. Care is given in the office and by video, with scheduling and messaging through a patient portal. Perimenopause, menopause, well woman exams and contraception are listed among its services, though the site describes no hormone treatment in detail.
Dr. Evans runs a small direct pay primary care clinic in Pensacola with evening and weekend hours. Menopause hormone therapy is one of her main services, alongside disease prevention, sexual health and weight loss. She also sees men, and she does not treat chronic pain. A new patient starts with a longer in-depth visit, either in the clinic or by video if you live in Florida or Iowa. After that, follow-ups can be in the clinic or by video. Insurance is not billed for her visits, though you can use your coverage for lab work or some prescriptions.
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.
Mercedes Deal founded Rêver Wellness, a private-pay clinic in Coral Gables that blends hormone care with skin treatments and weight care. Hormone therapy there is only available through a paid membership, and the tiers that include it also cover follow-up visits and lab work. Care starts with baseline labs and a first visit of about two hours, then labs are repeated every three months while the plan is adjusted. She prescribes bioidentical estradiol, progesterone and testosterone for women in perimenopause and menopause. She is a family nurse practitioner with extra training in functional medicine and peptide therapy, and the clinic also runs a thyroid and adrenal workup. New patients start with an intake questionnaire and a member of the team replies within a day or two.
Dr. Dombo is a board-certified OB-GYN who is going through the menopausal transition herself. She says starting hormone therapy and changing her nutrition and supplements took her from exhaustion and poor sleep back to enjoying life, and that is why she does this work. She trained in the early 2000s, when hormone therapy was widely feared, and now calls it the gold standard for symptom relief. The first visit runs 60 minutes and covers medical and gynecologic history, medications, nutrition and exercise, then a personal treatment plan. The visit also lists a nutritionist assessment, an exercise plan and mindset coaching, and follow-ups run 25 minutes. She writes publicly about why menopause hits Black women harder and how often they face barriers to care.
Miranda Zuhlke runs Midlife Rising, an independent menopause and sexual health practice based in Madison. Care starts with an hour-long virtual consultation that reviews your labs, bone and breast health, and heart risk and ends with a written plan, though no prescriptions come from that visit alone. Ongoing care is a six or twelve month program with messaging, lab reviews, and hormone therapy or GLP-1 medication when it fits, then a yearly visit to review and refill. She is also a certified sex counselor and treats libido and sexual health as part of menopause care rather than an extra. Her doctoral research looked at the myths around hormone therapy, and she is an Army veteran who served in Iraq. New patients start by emailing her.
