Women's Care OBGYN is a group obstetrics and gynecology practice with offices in Shawnee Mission and Overland Park. Dr. Howe is a board certified OBGYN whose listed focus areas are hormone replacement therapy, robotic gynecologic surgery and obstetrics. Menopause care here runs as part of ordinary gynecology, so a visit looks like a normal appointment with your own doctor rather than a separate hormone program. For symptoms they describe hormone therapy and also non-hormonal medications such as SSRIs and SNRIs. New patients can book a new patient gynecology appointment online, though the scheduler carries a notice that it is still under development and asks you to call if your provider or appointment type is missing. Dr. Howe grew up in Lebanon, Missouri and finished her residency in Omaha in 2019 before joining the group.
Dr. Younglove is an OB-GYN and obesity medicine physician who runs a weight-loss clinic in Overland Park and also sees women for perimenopause and menopause. The first menopause visit is a 60-minute consult, after which she can manage hormone therapy herself or hand the plan to your own doctor. She prescribes FDA-approved hormones filled at a regular pharmacy and does not use pellets or routine hormone testing. To get a hormone prescription from her you need someone else looking after your routine gynecologic care and mammograms.
