MyMenopauseRx is a virtual menopause practice founded by a gynecologist, and Krantz is one of about a dozen clinicians a patient can pick from. Visits are video appointments of about thirty minutes, and most patients come back every eight to twelve weeks until their symptoms settle. She prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone rather than compounded hormones, and the practice is clear that it works alongside a patient's own primary care doctor rather than replacing it. Testosterone is written only for patients located in Illinois, and everyone else gets the prescription from their own doctor while the practice manages the dosing. Krantz has practiced for more than thirty years in university, HMO, community health and telehealth settings, and she completed the integrative medicine fellowship at the University of Arizona with training in medical acupuncture. She works from Oregon and says she has aged alongside her patients, which is how menopause care became her emphasis.

Dr. Milhouse is a urologist with fellowship training in urogynecology and pelvic surgery who runs a menopause and hormone practice alongside her pelvic floor and sexual health work. She prescribes menopause hormone therapy, testosterone for women, and BioTE compounded hormone pellets placed in the office. Her approach is shaped by the bladder and sexual side of menopause, so she also treats leaking, prolapse, recurrent infections and painful sex in the same clinic. Visits happen in person in the Gold Coast or Deer Park, or by video. She is widely known online as Your Favorite Urologist and starred in the TLC show Dr. Down Below. Much of the practice's work is cosmetic genital procedures for women and men.

Toun Sogbein is a women's health nurse practitioner with Visana Health, a women's health practice that works entirely by video out of Minneapolis. She handles menopause and perimenopause along with the gynecological and sexual health problems that often sit alongside them, and she came to this work from public health clinics and a community health degree. First visits run 45 minutes, and patients stay with the same provider and can message the care team through the patient portal between visits. Visana's menopause care follows protocols written by Dr. Barbara Levy, and a patient can go the hormone route or a non-hormonal one after talking it through. Labs and imaging get ordered near home when they are needed, and optional health coaching covers food and exercise for anyone who wants that support. Many patients reach Visana through an employer or health plan, and the site has a start page where you look up yours.
Dr. G is a Maui gynecologist who is also board certified in obesity medicine, so hormones and midlife weight are handled in the same visit. First visits run a full thirty minutes, and follow-up is booked before you leave. Many hormone follow-ups happen by video for patients in Hawaii or Illinois, where she practiced for twelve years before moving to Maui. She prescribes bioidentical estradiol and progesterone in patches, gels, pills or vaginal forms, and uses compounded preparations when they fit. For low desire she prefers a compounded testosterone cream from a local Maui pharmacy. She will not use pellets because the dose can't be adjusted once they are in.
Progressive Care for Women is a small downtown Chicago gynecology practice of three doctors that has been open for more than twenty years, and Dr. King is one of them. He returned to Chicago after practicing on the east coast and also works with the staff at a Northwestern hospital. Menopause is one of the practice's listed services and its page covers estrogen, estrogen with progestin, vaginal estrogen, and non-hormonal choices such as low dose antidepressants or clonidine for hot flashes. His own stated interests are LGBTQ+ care, cervical dysplasia, contraception, and treating abnormal bleeding with minimally invasive methods. Existing patients self schedule through the online portal and new patients call the office. The office bills insurance and keeps a card on file to charge whatever your plan leaves you to pay.
Dr. Korzen is a board-certified OB/GYN at a large Chicago-area group, and she sees patients at its Elgin and South Elgin offices. Menopause and hormone therapy are a stated special interest for her, alongside routine gynecology and prenatal care. The practice offers hormone therapy and other options for perimenopause and menopause symptoms. Menopause and perimenopause visits can be done by video in a web browser, with no app to download. She has been in practice since 2004 and puts weight on patient education and shared decision-making. Care is billed through insurance like any gynecology visit.
Erie Family Health Centers is a community health center network in Chicago, and Carlson is one of the OB/GYN physicians at its West Town site on Superior Street. She did her residency at the University of Illinois in Chicago and has been seeing Erie patients since 2011. Erie's women's health care runs from adolescence through the reproductive years to menopause and beyond, and midlife and menopause support sits on the same service list as contraception, abnormal bleeding and gynecologic surgery. New patients book by phone and fill in an intake form before the first visit, and video visits become an option once you are an established Erie patient. Erie says no one is turned away because of their ability to pay, and front desk staff will go through an income-based discount with patients who are uninsured or carry a high deductible. An Erie provider is on call around the clock, and each site keeps some slots open for same day urgent visits.
A virtual women's specialty care platform for complex hormonal, metabolic and gynecological conditions, where menopause and perimenopause sit alongside PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid disease, fibroids and primary ovarian insufficiency. Each patient is assigned one medical provider, either an obstetrician-gynecologist, an endocrinologist or a women's health nurse practitioner, plus a registered dietitian, and stays with both. Care starts with a 30-minute medical visit and a 45-minute nutrition visit, broad hormonal and metabolic labs, then check-ins every week or two. Prescribing is optional and patient-directed, covering transdermal and oral estradiol, micronized progesterone, a non-hormonal drug for hot flashes, weight medication and thyroid replacement, and a separate arm ships custom-compounded medication to patients.
Dr. Barthel practices at Midwest Center for Women's HealthCare, a large Illinois OB/GYN group with offices across the Chicago suburbs. She still does full obstetric care and robotic gynecologic surgery, with hundreds of robotic cases since 2007 and a focus on minimally invasive hysterectomy. Menopause is a newer part of her work, and she became a Menopause Society certified practitioner in 2026. The practice treats perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms and offers hormone replacement therapy, and menopause visits can be done by video as well as in the office. She sees patients at the Elgin and South Elgin offices and delivers at a hospital in Elgin. She speaks openly about having both of her daughters through IVF, which shapes how she cares for patients dealing with infertility.
A women's health nurse practitioner in a seven-provider OB-GYN group that has served southern Illinois since 1983, with offices in Herrin and Carbondale. Her listed clinical interests include menopause and menstrual and hormonal disorders alongside obstetrics, contraception and preventive care, so menopause is one part of a full-scope practice rather than its focus. The group describes menopause care as hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle counselling and non-hormonal treatment, and offers video and phone visits, with menopause counselling among the visits it considers suitable for telemedicine.
Dr. Solotke is a general OB-GYN in a six-doctor private group at Northwestern in downtown Chicago, and menopause is one part of a broad practice that also includes pregnancy, contraception and surgery. Visits are in person near Northwestern Memorial, and video visits are offered when the doctor thinks one is appropriate. He describes his approach as shared decision making built on education and honest conversation. He has worked in LGBTQ+ health since 2016 and provides gender-affirming hormone therapy. He also does minimally invasive and robotic surgery, which helps if bleeding or fibroids come up alongside menopause.
Katy Wehrmann is a certified nurse midwife with Endeavor Health Medical Group, seeing patients at offices in Oak Park and Elmhurst. She has worked in women's health since 2005 and as a midwife since 2013, covering pregnancy and birth, postpartum care, family planning, annual exams and midlife care. Her midlife visits are for women whose perimenopause or menopause changes have become disruptive, and she works through the options with each patient rather than handing down a plan. She trained in FDA-approved hormone therapy for perimenopause and menopause through the Heather Hirsch Academy, and compares hormone therapy with non-hormonal choices when she counsels. New patients can book a visit online through her provider page at the health system or through the patient portal. She describes her care as a partnership and says her aim is for patients to feel seen and heard.

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.
Attune is a small practice run by two nurse-midwives who treat perimenopause and menopause, plus routine gynecology. Kiyomi moved from full-scope midwifery into menopause care and also sees women for pelvic and sexual health concerns. New patients get a one-hour first visit, with a follow-up about six to eight weeks after starting treatment and then check-ins every few months to once a year. They prescribe FDA-approved bioidentical estradiol and progesterone, low-dose testosterone for low libido, and non-hormonal options, and will use a compounding pharmacy if you prefer. They don't test hormone levels to adjust estrogen, and testosterone needs an in-person start with baseline labs. The Wicker Park office is inside a massage therapy suite up a flight of stairs with no elevator, and video visits are open to anyone in Illinois.
Dr. Tran is an internist who co-runs the CGH Menopause and Sexual Health Clinic with Dr. Marcia Jones, a family physician who is also Menopause Society certified. The clinic is on the upper level of CGH's downtown Sterling office and works by appointment, in person or by video. Sexual health is as much the point here as hot flashes. The reasons the clinic lists for coming in include painful sex, low libido and recurrent urinary tract infections. Tran also belongs to the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health. She and Jones have taken questions from the community in public Facebook Live sessions for the hospital, one on the stages of menopause and one on sex and intimacy in midlife.
Dr. Dunne is an internal medicine physician in the Advocate Medical Group office in Oswego, and she sees adults only. Her profile lists depression, generalized anxiety disorder and high blood pressure as clinical interests, with her menopause certification named alongside them. The page does not say anything more about how she approaches hormones or what menopause care looks like with her. She speaks Spanish as well as English. Visits are in person at the Templeton Drive office, and established patients book online through the Advocate LiveWell portal. Her panel is closed right now, and the booking tool says plainly that she cannot take new patients.
