Menopause Specialists Who Accept Medicare in Louisiana
62 practitioners have an office in Louisiana, and 35 more can see patients here by telehealth. 69 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Shreveport.
Femme Executive Health is a women-only concierge practice in Baton Rouge run by Dr. Kate Freeman, a family physician. Patients pay a yearly membership for primary care with longer visits and secure messaging, and insurance is still billed for covered visits and tests. She manages perimenopause, menopause and hormone therapy as part of that care. Anyone thinking of joining can book a free in-person visit to meet her first.
Mint Health is an integrative functional medicine gynecology practice in Baton Rouge where Dr. Buchert sees patients alongside a nurse practitioner. Both have been Institute for Functional Medicine certified practitioners since 2017. As of October 2025 every patient, existing and new, must hold an annual Integrative Functional Wellness Membership, so routine gynecologic care, hormone replacement and functional medicine all run through that one model. Prospective patients can book a Discovery Visit with either provider to decide before committing, and membership is capped, with a waiting list once capacity is reached. Dr. Buchert is a board-certified OB-GYN who also operates, including endometrial ablation, laparoscopy and robotic hysterectomy.
Ashley Romero Parich is a physician assistant at Acadiana Women's Health Group, an OB/GYN practice in Lafayette with nine physicians and four advanced practice providers. She grew up in nearby Abbeville, has worked in OB/GYN since 2007, and joined this group in 2016. She sees women of all ages, and her own listed care runs from prenatal visits and annual exams to contraception, osteoporosis screening and treatment, and hormone replacement therapy. What sets her apart in a general OB/GYN office is her hormone training, since she is a certified women's hormone therapy specialist and a member of The Menopause Society. Visits are in person at the Ambassador Caffery office, although the practice offers telemedicine appointments by request. New patients download the practice forms and send them back two days before the first visit.
Taylor Mahtook is a physician assistant with Our Lady of Lourdes Physician Group in Lafayette, where she sees women for primary care and works in the group's menopause clinic. The clinic calls itself the region's first multi-discipline menopause service and takes patients from age 15 up, with a gynecologist, a nurse practitioner and a dietitian working in the same building. Both hormone and non-hormone treatment for perimenopause and menopause are offered there, labs are drawn on site, and new patients can book with her online. Mahtook also manages the long-running conditions that often sit alongside midlife hormone changes, such as thyroid disease, osteoporosis and high blood pressure. She came to women's health after working in urgent care clinics and an emergency department. She asks patients to write down their questions before a visit, and says a good history and real listening get her most of the way to a diagnosis.
