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.
SHIFT is a concierge practice in downtown Chicago where Dr. Benjamin works as a primary care physician for adults. New patients start with a long executive physical that covers lab work, a body composition scan and a fitness test, then continue with a year of membership care. Members get same day visits, video visits and direct access to their own doctor. Dr. Benjamin is board certified in family medicine and is a certified menopause practitioner, and her bio says she has a special interest in women's health. The practice offers a women's hormone panel among its lab tests, but no page says whether hormone therapy is prescribed. Dietitians, physical therapists and fitness coaches work alongside the doctors on one shared plan.
Dr. Caravelli is a family medicine physician who runs a small telehealth practice for women in perimenopause and menopause anywhere in Illinois. Care starts with an hour-long first visit, then labs, then a second visit to go over results and build a plan. Anyone who wants ongoing prescriptions, including hormone therapy, joins a monthly membership with quarterly visits and direct messaging with her. She also treats weight and metabolic changes and prescribes GLP-1 medications when they fit. Before starting the practice she was a regional medical director for a national healthcare company, and she teaches as an adjunct clinical professor at the osteopathic school where she trained. She is clear that she is not a primary care doctor, so patients keep their own physician for everything else.
Dr. Mandigo is an OB-GYN who runs a small cash-pay video practice alongside her main job at a community health center in Southern California. Perimenopause and menopause are among the concerns she sees, along with contraception, abnormal pap results and pregnancy questions. You start by filling out a short request form, and she replies by email within a day to set up a video visit. Consultations run 45 or 60 minutes with short follow-ups after that, so there is time to talk things through. She says she started the practice because appointments elsewhere were too short and too hard to get. Countering health misinformation is something she cares about a lot.
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.
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.
Dr. Jordens runs a small practice for women in midlife and is also board certified in obesity medicine, so weight and metabolic health come up alongside hormones. The first visit is a full hour, follow-ups run 45 minutes, and ongoing care is a six-month membership with messaging through a patient portal. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and sometimes testosterone in standard forms like patches, gels and pills. She treats vaginal estrogen as first-line for dryness and offers non-hormonal options like fezolinetant for women who can't or don't want to take hormones. She says there is no set age limit for staying on hormone therapy and reviews the plan each year. This is specialty care, not a replacement for your primary care doctor, and there is a free discovery call before you book.
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.
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.
Ravindra runs a membership-based concierge primary care practice on North Michigan Avenue in Chicago, built around prevention and longevity medicine rather than a menopause-specific focus. Perimenopause and menopause is one line item in a broad primary-care service list. Members are promised same-day responses and next-day appointments, virtually or in person, plus longer visits and a dedicated non-clinical concierge who coordinates care between visits. The practice leans heavily on advanced diagnostics, including broad lab panels, body composition, VO2 max testing, continuous glucose monitoring, advanced cardiac and cancer screening and cognitive assessments. Ravindra is triple board-certified in internal medicine, lifestyle medicine and clinical informatics and is on faculty at Rush, but refers across all major Chicago health systems rather than one.
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.
Dr. Carol runs a small concierge practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, and she is going through midlife herself. She spent about 20 years as an emergency physician before turning to menopause care. Care starts with a free 30-minute video call. After that comes a package of two long visits, each 60 to 90 minutes, and you can message her between and after them. Visits can be at her Manhattan office, by video, or at your home or workplace. The visits look at symptom treatment along with bone, heart and breast cancer risk. She does not replace your own doctors, so you still need a primary care doctor and a gynecologist for exams and mammograms.
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.
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.
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.
Dr. Hertel runs a virtual-only practice focused on perimenopause, menopause and midlife care, with every visit held inside a secure patient portal. She is a family physician going through the menopause transition herself, and says that experience is what drew her to this work. She prescribes FDA-approved hormone therapy sent to your local pharmacy and does not use estrogen or testosterone pellets. The practice also offers medication-supported weight care and help with low libido and painful sex. It does not do Pap smears, pelvic exams or primary care, so you keep your own doctor and gynecologist for screenings. New patients start with a free 15-minute discovery call, and people outside her licensed states can book an educational visit that ends with a written plan but no prescriptions.
Duet Family Health is Dr. Schroeder's solo direct primary care practice in Chicago, which she opened in 2024 after Village Medical closed its Illinois offices. Women can come for menopause care on its own and pay per visit, or join the membership and get menopause care along with the rest of their primary care. The first visit has to be in person, and after that much of the care runs by video, phone and portal message, with menopause follow-ups every three to six months. She prescribes hormonal and non-hormonal treatment but will not prescribe compounded hormones, and she says checking hormone levels is usually not useful in perimenopause. Her first fifteen years were at a community health center, where she delivered babies and trained family medicine residents. New patients start with a free video meet and greet, and people 65 and over join a waitlist.
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.
Dr. Schultz co-founded this small concierge internal medicine practice in Westmont with Dr. Cindy Lagone. It is a primary care practice for adults, and menopause care sits within her general internal medicine work. Her main clinical interests are cholesterol, blood pressure and heart disease risk, and she also works in obesity medicine. An annual membership covers visits, virtual care and messaging with your doctor. Panels are kept small, so new patients start with a meet and greet and may join a waitlist when her panel is full. The practice says plainly that it is not integrative or functional medicine, and it keeps close ties to Northwestern Medicine for specialist referrals and hospital care.
Dr. Murauski directs the hormone and longevity programs at Case Integrative Health, a multi-provider integrative practice with offices in Chicago's West Loop and Hinsdale. He trained in biomedical engineering before medicine and describes his approach as looking at how the body's systems work together. Care starts with a discovery call with a patient coordinator, then an hour-long first consult and a follow-up four to six weeks later to go over labs and set the full plan. Seeing him directly means joining his Engineering Wellness membership, which has limited spots and a waitlist. Patients who don't join are seen by the program's physician assistants, who work under his oversight. Follow-up visits can be in person or remote.
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.
