Jody Buchanan runs a solo women's health clinic in Andover, Kansas, in space inside an Andover Family Chiropractic office. She sees women from their first period through post-menopause, and she also sees men for sexual and reproductive health. New patient visits are 60 minutes and follow-ups are 30, and after the first visit many menopause follow-ups can be done by video for patients in Kansas. For hormones she stays with FDA-approved bioidentical hormone therapy and walks through the risks and benefits for a woman's age and health history. When hormones are not a good fit she turns to non-hormone medication along with sleep, nutrition and stress changes. She calls her visits trauma-informed and keeps smaller modern speculums on hand for teens and anyone nervous about an exam.
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.
Johnson County OB/GYN is a long-running women's health group in the Kansas City suburbs with seven clinicians and a full-service lab in its own building. Dr. Cooper sees women across the whole range of gynecologic care, from adolescent visits through pregnancy and menopause. Her bio singles out the menopause transition as the part of her work she cares most about, and she frames it around wellness and quality of life in every decade. She also does vNOTES hysterectomies, a vaginal approach that avoids abdominal incisions and shortens recovery. Appointments are set up by phone, and new patients complete pre-registration through a text and email link before they arrive. Some physicians in the group keep appointment slots before and after regular office hours.
Dr. Green runs a gynecology-only practice in the Northland of Kansas City, so her clinic days are never cut short by deliveries. She treats perimenopause and menopause with FDA-approved hormone therapy, including bioidentical options, and offers non-hormonal medicines for women who can't or don't want to take hormones. You can bring up hormone therapy at your first visit, but a Pap smear or pelvic exam is booked as a separate visit because of how insurance covers it. She also runs menopause group visits where you are welcome to bring a friend, and follow-ups and lab reviews can happen by video. She is a gynecologic surgeon too, so the same doctor can manage fibroids or a hysterectomy if it comes to that.
Angela Jones handles menopause and hormone care at Phase II Center for Women's Health, a gynecology and pelvic health clinic in Millcreek run by an all-female team. The clinic does no obstetrics, so appointments are not bumped for deliveries. Before moving into women's health she worked in emergency medicine and critical care. She prescribes both bioidentical and conventional hormone therapy, offers non-hormonal options, and keeps an eye on bone and heart health after menopause. She also covers routine gynecology like annual exams and contraception, and a gynecologic surgeon in the same office sees bladder and prolapse problems. The clinic bills insurance, and visits are booked by phone.

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.
Carrie Wieneke Broghammer is a general obstetrician gynecologist at The University of Kansas Health System, where she chairs the OB/GYN department. The department runs a midlife program called Menopause, Intimacy and Midlife Transition, and its menopause care includes hormone therapy. Her own profile describes the breadth of obstetrics and gynecology rather than a menopause-only practice. She came to KU in 2008 and started its minimally invasive gynecology program, so gynecologic surgery is a real part of her work. Her bio says she wants patients to understand their options and play a part in their own care, and she sees teens, adults and adults over 65. Visits are at two locations on the Kansas City campus, video visits are available, and a new patient starts by sending an appointment request and waiting for a scheduler to call back.
