44 practitioners have an office in Kansas, and 71 more can see patients here by telehealth. 71 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Kansas City, Overland Park and Wichita.
Dr. Markell spent about ten years as a practicing OB/GYN before leaving conventional practice to open her own integrative hormone clinic in downtown Springdale. Care is organized as programs rather than single visits. Most women start with a three-month consult that includes an hour-long first visit and a lab review, then move into a yearlong program with a few private visits and portal access to her team. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone when they fit, and also works with women who cannot or do not want to take hormones. Her yearlong programs add group nutrition visits, body composition scans and a pelvic floor therapy visit. She does not do annual gynecology exams, so you still need someone else for those.
Dr. Bryson runs a small virtual practice built around two things, menopause care and medical weight management. She is boarded in both family medicine and obesity medicine, so many of her midlife patients come in dealing with weight changes and hormone changes together. She sticks to FDA-approved hormone therapy and also prescribes non-hormonal options. Care starts with a free 15-minute meet and greet, then a long new-patient visit with a full health history and workup. Members move from monthly visits down to every three or six months once treatment is stable, and they can reach her directly by text, phone or email. She currently sees Arkansas residents only and cannot take patients on Medicare.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hot Springs National Park, AR · In person & virtual
Self-pay · from $150/mo
Dr. Rice is a general and trauma surgeon who started this separate practice for women in perimenopause and menopause. She prescribes bioidentical hormones and also coaches patients on lifestyle. New patients start with a long first consultation, in person in Hot Springs or by video, and then have follow-up visits. Patients can message her through an app portal, and she runs a monthly group video call.
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.
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.
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.
