Menopause Specialists Who Accept Medicare in Minnesota
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.
Katlyn Schweder is a family nurse practitioner at the Mankato Clinic Daniels Health Center in St. Peter. She works in primary care, and menopause care is one of her stated interests alongside women's health and pediatrics. That makes her a good fit for a woman who wants her menopause care handled by the same person who sees her for everything else. She has talked about menopause treatment on a local Mankato radio podcast. New patients can book with her online or by phone.
Faubion is an internist at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville and sees patients through its Women's Health Specialty Clinic. She founded and directs the Mayo Clinic Center for Women's Health, and every condition listed on her own clinical page is a menopause or female sexual health one, so midlife care is the whole of her practice. The clinic runs two routes for a new patient, a menopause consultation that covers natural, surgical and cancer treatment induced menopause as well as primary ovarian insufficiency, and a sexual health consultation for low libido and painful sex. Her page says she helps women work through hormone therapy and understand their options. Appointments go through Mayo's central request process, which in most cases needs no referral, and established patients message her team through the Mayo patient portal. She also practices at Mayo's Rochester campus, and away from work she grows orchids and cooks.
Alexa Derosier is a nurse midwife and nurse practitioner in the OB/GYN department at Essentia Health's 32nd Avenue Clinic in Fargo. Her online scheduling has menopause care as its own reason for a visit, and hormone replacement therapy is one of the choices under it. You can book that visit yourself through the health system's patient portal without already being a gynecology patient. The rest of her work runs from pregnancy and birth through well woman visits, and she also sees women for pelvic floor trouble, bladder leaking and pessary care. Her scheduling page lists telehealth alongside midwifery and OB/GYN, and Essentia runs video visits through the same portal. This is a large health system rather than a private menopause practice, so a visit here is a regular clinic appointment billed to insurance.
Krueger is an OB/GYN at Essentia Health's 32nd Avenue Clinic in Fargo, which sits in the same building as the health system's Fargo hospital. She joined in July 2025, after medical school in Minnesota and an obstetrics and gynecology residency in Rochester, New York. She still does obstetrics and gynecologic surgery alongside office gynecology, and she has said she likes following patients from adolescence through to what she calls the mid-life menopause era. Her own list of conditions treated names menopause and hormonal imbalance, along with pelvic pain and bladder problems. The gynecology department handles menopause symptoms from premenopause through postmenopause, and hormone replacement therapy is one of the treatments it uses. This is health-system care, so visits are billed to insurance and booked by phone or through the patient portal, and her page says new patients are welcome.
Jennifer Nelson is one of more than twenty primary care providers at Herself Health, a Minnesota group built for women in midlife and later life. She sees patients at the Crystal clinic and gives her focus as women's health and the care of older adults. For women under 65 the practice runs on a paid membership that buys longer visits and support for menopause and perimenopause, including help with hot flashes, sleep and mood. Women on Medicare get the same care without the membership fee. First visits are a full hour, and virtual visits are available for new and returning patients. Nelson chose nursing because of a nurse practitioner she saw when she was young, and her page says she wants patients in a calm setting where they feel seen and free of judgment.
