Menopause Specialists Who Accept Medicare in Michigan
192 practitioners have an office in Michigan, and 76 more can see patients here by telehealth. 194 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor and Holland.
Rose MD Aesthetics is a physician-run med spa in Troy where hormone care sits alongside lasers, injectables and medical weight loss. Dr. Mahmood is the medical director and a certified Biote provider, and he treats menopause in women and andropause in men. Care starts with a consultation and full bloodwork rather than a prescription, and the doctors read hormone levels next to thyroid and metabolic markers before anything is prescribed. Hormones are compounded to each prescription and given as pellets placed under the skin near the hip, or as creams, patches and capsules, with follow-up labs to fine tune the dose. The practice runs a women's wellness and intimate health program that includes a laser treatment for stress urinary incontinence, always performed by one of the physicians. He says his own struggle with weight after residency is what turned him toward this kind of medicine.
Women's Health Consultants is a Novi OB-GYN office and one of a dozen practices in the UWH of Michigan group. Eight doctors work out of the Novi location, and Dr. Kaplan is one of them. Menopause care sits alongside pregnancy, surgery and routine gynecology rather than running as its own program, so the same office covers everything from teen visits through postmenopause. The group's menopause page goes through hormone therapy and non-hormonal prescription options and says the right choice depends on your history and risk factors, and it treats bone and heart health as part of midlife care. Mammography and bone density testing are done in the office rather than sent out. Kaplan taught residents at Providence Hospital and was named teacher of the year twice, and she names alternatives to hysterectomy as one of her main interests.
Dr. Van De Velde is a gynecologist with MyMichigan Gynecology in Midland, part of the MyMichigan Medical Center system. She lists menopause and perimenopause management as one of her clinical interests alongside abnormal bleeding, contraception and fertility evaluation. She is also a minimally invasive and robotic surgeon, so she can handle surgical problems like fibroids or hysterectomy in the same practice if they come up. Visits are in person at the Campus Ridge office, and she is licensed to see Florida patients by telehealth. Her profile says she is welcoming new patients, and current patients can message or book through MyChart.
Kelly Strawser is a certified nurse midwife at Henry Ford Women's Health in Royal Oak, and her profile names her a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. Henry Ford says its certified nurse midwives care for women from puberty through menopause, and menopausal care is one of the services they list. The midwives treat menopause as a normal life stage rather than a medical problem, and they work alongside the gynecologists and obstetricians in the same group. Hormone therapy is offered and matched to a woman's own risk profile, with estrogen available as a gel, pill, patch, ring or vaginal cream. Henry Ford cautions that custom compounded hormones are not tested for purity or safety and points women to regulated products instead. Menopause is one of the reasons a patient can be seen by video visit through the Henry Ford patient portal.
Dr. Kim runs a small general gynecology office in Saginaw where menopause management sits alongside routine exams, contraception and gynecologic surgery. Her site says she handles every service herself, from pap smears to menopause treatment, so you see the doctor rather than being handed off. She also treats osteoporosis, from screening through to treatment. The office has in-house vaginal laser treatment for dryness, painful sex and leaking after menopause, mostly run by her nurse practitioner, who started out in urology. Visits are in person only and booked by phone. The office is closed on Fridays and keeps a short lunchtime slot for people who can't come in during the workday.
Dr. Bianchi is an OB-GYN at the Marshfield Medical Center clinics in Iron Mountain, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Menopause care is one of the types of care her profile lists, next to pregnancy and general gynecology, so menopause visits sit inside a broad OB-GYN practice rather than a separate menopause clinic. Her bio says she manages menopausal symptoms and also treats abnormal uterine bleeding, sexual health concerns and pelvic organ prolapse. The women's health department she works in names hormone therapy and bone density screening as part of its menopause care. She describes her approach as listening to the concern, doing her best to find an explanation, and then offering evidence-based options. She trained in osteopathic medicine and did her residency in Michigan, and she is raising three children with her husband, a captain in the Air Force.
Alexis Phillips is a family nurse practitioner at Okemos OB/GYN, one of twelve obstetrics and gynecology offices run by University of Michigan Health-Sparrow. She is the only nurse practitioner on the Okemos team, and the other providers listed there are physicians who also work at the system's other OB/GYN offices. Care is in person at the single Okemos office, which is open weekdays. New patients start by downloading the office's own paperwork packet and calling to be scheduled, because the site has no online booking. Visits are billed to insurance, and the system publishes the plans it takes rather than what a visit costs. Her page says she became a nurse practitioner because the human body fascinates her, and she mentions yoga, crocheting and her French bulldog Winston.
Dr. Moore is a family physician at Munson Healthcare's Frankfort Medical Group, the system's family medicine office in Frankfort, on the same Park Avenue site as Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital. She sees patients of every age from newborns to older adults, and menopause care is one of the two interests her Munson profile names. Before medicine she worked in Anchorage, Alaska as a geophysicist reading seismic data, then moved back to Michigan for medical school. She finished family medicine residency in 2025, so she is early in practice. Care runs through a hospital system that bills insurance, so this is ordinary family-medicine office care rather than a separate menopause program. New patients book by calling the office, and once you are established you can book in person or video visits online.
Abby Brown is a nurse practitioner in the obstetrics and gynecology clinics at University of Michigan Health, and she sees patients at the Brighton health center as well as two Ann Arbor sites. She trained in both nurse midwifery and family practice, and she cares for women across the span of adult life, from contraception and low risk obstetrics through menopause. She is also one of the nurse practitioners in the health system's vulvar diseases clinic, which treats skin conditions of the vulva such as lichen sclerosus along with precancerous changes. A new patient there gets a long first appointment covering nursing education, a clinical exam and a sexual health visit, and a return visit is often with a different member of the team on purpose. Referrals to that clinic are heavy enough that it no longer takes routine vulvodynia cases and sends them to a separate clinic in the system. Visits can be in person or by video, and a video visit means being physically in Michigan on the day.
