MyMenopauseRx is a virtual menopause practice founded by a gynecologist, and Krantz is one of about a dozen clinicians a patient can pick from. Visits are video appointments of about thirty minutes, and most patients come back every eight to twelve weeks until their symptoms settle. She prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone rather than compounded hormones, and the practice is clear that it works alongside a patient's own primary care doctor rather than replacing it. Testosterone is written only for patients located in Illinois, and everyone else gets the prescription from their own doctor while the practice manages the dosing. Krantz has practiced for more than thirty years in university, HMO, community health and telehealth settings, and she completed the integrative medicine fellowship at the University of Arizona with training in medical acupuncture. She works from Oregon and says she has aged alongside her patients, which is how menopause care became her emphasis.
Dr. Gray is an OB/GYN at University Health Women's Care in Lee's Summit, part of Kansas City's public hospital system, and she has been medical director of University Health Women's Care since 2021. She says she focuses her practice on menopause and sexual medicine, and she is one of only two clinicians the system lists under menopause medicine. The clinic's menopause page describes care built from lifestyle changes, hormone therapy using estrogen, progesterone, testosterone or DHEA cream, and non-hormonal options for women who should not take hormones. It also cites evidence that starting hormone therapy before age 60 may help the heart, which says something about how early she is willing to treat. Sexual health is a real part of the work, and she sits on two membership committees of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health. Visits are in person and booked by phone with no online scheduling, and new patients fill out a gynecology questionnaire and a family cancer history form before the first appointment.
Tiffani Hughson is a certified nurse midwife at Maiden Lane Medical, a large multi-specialty practice in lower Manhattan. Her practice profile lists her as a telemedicine provider, so visits with her are virtual for patients in New York. She trained in full-scope obstetrics and gynecology and now focuses on perimenopause, menopause and women's sexual health. She manages hormone therapy alongside routine gynecologic care. The practice offers oral and transdermal hormone therapy, vaginal estrogen and DHEA, and non-hormonal medicines. Visits are booked online through the practice's 24/7 telemedicine scheduler.
Dr. Green runs a gynecology-only practice in the Northland of Kansas City, so her clinic days are never cut short by deliveries. She treats perimenopause and menopause with FDA-approved hormone therapy, including bioidentical options, and offers non-hormonal medicines for women who can't or don't want to take hormones. You can bring up hormone therapy at your first visit, but a Pap smear or pelvic exam is booked as a separate visit because of how insurance covers it. She also runs menopause group visits where you are welcome to bring a friend, and follow-ups and lab reviews can happen by video. She is a gynecologic surgeon too, so the same doctor can manage fibroids or a hysterectomy if it comes to that.
Carrie Wieneke Broghammer is a general obstetrician gynecologist at The University of Kansas Health System, where she chairs the OB/GYN department. The department runs a midlife program called Menopause, Intimacy and Midlife Transition, and its menopause care includes hormone therapy. Her own profile describes the breadth of obstetrics and gynecology rather than a menopause-only practice. She came to KU in 2008 and started its minimally invasive gynecology program, so gynecologic surgery is a real part of her work. Her bio says she wants patients to understand their options and play a part in their own care, and she sees teens, adults and adults over 65. Visits are at two locations on the Kansas City campus, video visits are available, and a new patient starts by sending an appointment request and waiting for a scheduler to call back.
