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.
Dr. Bonza is a family physician who runs a small menopause and perimenopause practice in Upper Arlington, seeing women in person or by video. Care starts with a broad lab panel ordered before you meet, then a 50-minute visit to go through the results and build a plan. The one consultation fee covers a full year of follow-up, including text access to her through a patient portal, repeat labs and medication changes. She prescribes FDA-approved hormone therapy and also treats with testosterone, thyroid support and weight medication for women who qualify. She came to this work after her own symptoms in her 40s were brushed off by other doctors. She does not act as a primary care doctor, so you keep your own for everything else.
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.
Kristen Loose is the menopause specialist at Dr. Gina Mantor's medical spa and weight clinic in Westerville, where the rest of the practice focuses on aesthetics and weight loss. She treats perimenopause and menopause with standard hormone therapy, and offers non-hormonal prescriptions and lifestyle advice to women who can't or would rather not take hormones. The first consultation is free and happens by video. After that she sees patients in the office on Wednesdays and Saturdays or by appointment. She follows Menopause Society guidance closely and writes on the clinic's site that soy and black cohosh don't hold up for hot flashes.
Therapy for Midlife is Dr. Rashkis's solo virtual practice, and every session runs over video. She works with women moving through perimenopause and menopause, and she also sees men in midlife and couples. Care is talk therapy only, and the FAQ says the practice does not prescribe medication, though she will discuss a referral to a prescribing physician and can speak with your own doctor if you give written permission. For menopause she uses cognitive behavioral therapy for the distress that comes with hot flashes and CBT for insomnia for sleep trouble, alongside acceptance and commitment therapy and emotionally focused therapy. Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly at first and then spaced further apart, and she says most clients need five to fifteen of them. She is a lifelong competitive athlete who says she went through her own midlife upheaval, which is what led her to start the practice.
Dana Johnson is a registered nurse who spent about 20 years in the ICU before founding Qavah Functional Wellness, a telehealth-only practice. She started it after her own Long COVID turned into autoimmune and gut problems and then a hard menopause transition. Hormone therapy is offered to Alabama residents only, while the lab and gut health services also reach a few other southern states. Each hormone plan starts with lab work and a consultation, and bioidentical hormones come as creams, gels, pills, troches or injections. Prescriptions are written by the practice's licensed providers rather than by Dana, who is a nurse. New patients start with an online consultation request, and the team calls back within one business day.
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.
Optiml is a new practice in Winter Park run by Amber Braithwaite, a nurse practitioner, and it opens in December 2026. It will offer hormone therapy, metabolic care and what it calls healthspan medicine, aimed at people who were told their labs were normal but still don't feel right. Until it opens, the only way in is a waitlist form on its website, and the practice says it will contact people as places open up. Its full website, including prices and details of how care works, is not live yet.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
