80 practitioners have an office in Missouri, and 56 more can see patients here by telehealth. 87 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Saint Louis, Kansas City and Chesterfield.
Curated Medicine is a small direct-pay family medicine practice in Columbia, and Dr. Calhoun is the only clinician. Perimenopause and menopause care sits alongside general primary care and a real focus on POTS and dysautonomia, which she lives with herself. Scheduled visits happen by secure video and are open only to patients who are in Missouri at the time of the visit. Members can message her between visits, and new patients can start with a free discovery call. Before opening the practice she spent more than a decade on the family medicine faculty at the University of Missouri.

Vitality Medical and Wellness Consulting is a concierge practice in west St. Louis County where Dr. Loden Tiffany works with two nurse practitioners and board-certified health coaches. Care runs on membership, and you start with a video consultation with her to see whether the practice is a fit before picking a plan. The practice says it limits how many patients it takes so visits can run long. Every membership is built around a yearly assessment she designed, with an ECG, body composition and resting metabolic rate testing, grip strength, labs and a one-on-one strategy session with her. She came to menopause care from internal medicine rather than gynecology and says that is the advantage, since she is watching cholesterol, glucose, thyroid and heart risk while she treats hormone symptoms. For perimenopause she starts with hormone testing and will prescribe hormone therapy when it fits, and members get virtual visits and direct messaging.

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.
Diana Kumar is a board certified OB-GYN who co-founded Gliss Wellness, a virtual practice built around perimenopause and menopause. All care happens by video and secure messaging, so there is no office to visit. A menopause visit runs about 30 minutes and ends with a plan and prescriptions for an initial three month period, followed by a check-in visit before refills continue for the rest of the year. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits, can order labs and scans, and sends prescriptions to the patient's own pharmacy. She also sees women for weight counseling and for urgent gynecology problems handled through a short written form. Her stated areas of interest are PCOS, sexual dysfunction, bone health and longevity medicine.
A boutique gynecology practice in Springfield led by a board-certified gynecologist who is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, serving women across the lifespan with a stated focus on perimenopause, menopause and hormone therapy, plus sexual health, adolescent gynecology, infertility and postpartum care. Patients either join a monthly membership or pay per visit, with check-ins by office visit, video, phone, text or email and in-office procedures including ultrasound, colposcopy, endometrial biopsy, IUD placement and pessary fitting. The practice's patient writing is evidence-focused and cautions about high-dose testosterone, pellets and unregulated compounded products.
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.
Dr. Carol runs a small concierge practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, and she is going through midlife herself. She spent about 20 years as an emergency physician before turning to menopause care. Care starts with a free 30-minute video call. After that comes a package of two long visits, each 60 to 90 minutes, and you can message her between and after them. Visits can be at her Manhattan office, by video, or at your home or workplace. The visits look at symptom treatment along with bone, heart and breast cancer risk. She does not replace your own doctors, so you still need a primary care doctor and a gynecologist for exams and mammograms.
Dr. Towolawi runs a direct primary care practice in Shoreline, but her primary care panel is full, so new menopause patients see her through a separate telehealth service. Visits are by video for women in the states she covers. Care starts with an hour-long first visit, and shorter follow-ups are booked as needed. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits and pairs it with lifestyle medicine coaching on nutrition and supplements, with secure messaging between visits. She is also board certified in lifestyle medicine. She is perimenopausal herself and speaks openly about women, especially women of color, being dismissed when they raise their symptoms.
Jackie Stone, MD sees women entirely by telehealth, in a practice she runs alone. She is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and in obesity medicine, and treats perimenopause, menopause and primary ovarian insufficiency alongside PCOS, genitourinary symptoms, sexual wellness, and skin and hair changes. First visits run a full hour and cover past records, labs and a treatment plan. Ongoing care is by monthly membership or visit by visit, with direct messaging for members.
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.

Dr. Rice is a general and trauma surgeon who started this separate practice for women in perimenopause and menopause. She prescribes bioidentical hormones and also coaches patients on lifestyle. New patients start with a long first consultation, in person in Hot Springs or by video, and then have follow-up visits. Patients can message her through an app portal, and she runs a monthly group video call.
Dr. Long runs a newly opened direct primary care practice in Laguna Niguel. He is a board-certified family doctor with a fellowship in integrative medicine, so menopause care is one part of what he does for adults rather than the whole practice. Hormone therapy evaluation and ongoing dose changes come with the monthly membership, with no separate charge for those visits. He keeps his patient list small and says visits run 45 to 60 minutes, and members call or text him directly instead of going through a front desk. He is fluent in English and Spanish and has training in addiction medicine.
Gliss Wellness is a virtual-only OB/GYN practice Dr. Walsh co-founded with a second board-certified OB/GYN, and menopause care is its main focus. Care starts with a 30-minute video consultation about your symptoms, and if hormone therapy suits you, you leave with prescriptions for the first three months. A follow-up at three months keeps refills going for the rest of the year, and refills in between happen by message through the patient portal. There is no membership, and you fill prescriptions at your own pharmacy. The doctors can't examine you in person but can order labs and other tests. Dr. Walsh's own interests include pelvic pain, endometriosis, fibroids and weight loss, and a free 15-minute call lets you meet the team before booking.
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.
