Menopause Specialists Who Accept Insurance in Kentucky
55 practitioners have an office in Kentucky, and 58 more can see patients here by telehealth. 81 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Louisville, Lexington and Florence.
Downtown Drs. Brown is a small concierge primary care office in downtown Lexington, started in 2018 by Cady Brown and her husband Ryan, both internal medicine physicians. She holds Menopause Society certification, and the practice lists menopause and hormone therapy in its women's health services alongside everyday internal medicine work like thyroid and heart risk. Membership buys an annual physical that ends in a written wellness plan, plus direct phone, text and email access to her doctor between visits. Care happens in person at the Mill Street office, and virtual visits are used mainly when a member is away from home. The practice has reached the size it wants, so new patients join a waiting list. No pharmaceutical reps are allowed in the office, and there are no nurse practitioners or physician assistants, so members see their own doctor every visit.

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.
Marnatti sees women at UK HealthCare's Women's Health Primary Care clinic in Lexington, and she is one of two clinicians who staff the health system's Midlife Health and Menopause Clinic. She joined the women's health practice in 2020 and moved into the menopause clinic when it opened in February 2025. That clinic runs Tuesday mornings as a consult service, and it pulls in UK specialists in bone health, nutrition and integrative medicine when a woman needs them. Visits are booked through the women's health clinic, and she also keeps a general primary care panel, so the same woman can bring her blood pressure or her bone density to the visit. On hormones she is plain about the evidence. After the FDA removed its black box warning she went on the health system's podcast to say the old label frightened women and prescribers away from treatment, and that she still weighs age, time since the last period and health history before starting anything.

Women First of Louisville is an all-female OB/GYN group that has been in the Baptist Health medical pavilion since 1988, and Dr. Grider joined it in 1998. She still practices obstetrics alongside gynecology, so her patients run from teenagers on contraception through pregnancy and into the menopause transition. What she says she enjoys most in midlife care is walking a woman through the pros and cons of hormone therapy so the choice is her own. The practice is openly cautious about compounded bioidentical hormones and makes the point that plenty of prescription bioidenticals are not compounded at all. Hormones are prescribed as pills, patches, gels, sprays and vaginal products, and bone density screening and blood draws happen in the office. Visits are in person at the single Louisville location, you reach her care team on a direct weekday line or through the FollowMyHealth portal, and she also handles the practice's minimally invasive and robotic surgery.
Abby Loftus-Smith is an OB-GYN with St. Elizabeth Physicians in northern Kentucky. The system's menopause page names her as one of three certified menopause doctors on its team, and she sees patients at the Newport office as well as the Burlington and Florence women's health offices. New patients can book online or by phone, though video visits are kept for patients she already sees, so a first appointment is in person. On hormones the team is explicit about its limits. It offers only FDA-approved treatment and says it does not use hormone pellets or non-approved therapies, so the options are estrogen and progesterone, vaginal estrogen, and non-hormonal medication such as SSRIs for hot flashes. Her wider gynecology practice covers adolescent care, fertility and infertility, PCOS, and minimally invasive and robotic surgery.
Rhonda Gottmann is a women's health nurse practitioner certified by the Menopause Society. Her listing points to Midi Health, a virtual menopause clinic that sees patients by video only and refers out for anything needing an in person exam. Her registry record lists five Midi locations across New York, Kentucky, Florida, Ohio and Arizona, all sharing the company's single phone line. Midi does not currently name her anywhere on its site. Her bio page there returns a not found error and she is absent from the clinician directory, and no other current practice could be found for her.
