124 practitioners have an office in Minnesota, and 82 more can see patients here by telehealth. 148 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Minneapolis, Rochester and Maple Grove.
Dr. Dombo is a board-certified OB-GYN who is going through the menopausal transition herself. She says starting hormone therapy and changing her nutrition and supplements took her from exhaustion and poor sleep back to enjoying life, and that is why she does this work. She trained in the early 2000s, when hormone therapy was widely feared, and now calls it the gold standard for symptom relief. The first visit runs 60 minutes and covers medical and gynecologic history, medications, nutrition and exercise, then a personal treatment plan. The visit also lists a nutritionist assessment, an exercise plan and mindset coaching, and follow-ups run 25 minutes. She writes publicly about why menopause hits Black women harder and how often they face barriers to care.
Dr. Bozicevich, who goes by Roxie, is an OB/GYN at Women's Health Consultants, a large gynecology and obstetrics group in the Twin Cities. She has been with the group since 2001 and lists perimenopause and menopause among her clinical interests. The group offers menopause care as part of its preventive care, including hormone therapy, and plans treatment around each woman's symptoms. She also does general gynecology, contraception and obstetrics, so she can be a long-term gynecologist and not only a menopause consult. She says she values long relationships with patients and wants to understand their family, work and worries. Appointments are made by phone, and the group has four clinics around Minneapolis, Richfield and Plymouth.
