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.
Premier Women's Health is a full OB/GYN office in Gulfport, with two physicians and Graves as its women's health nurse practitioner. She grew up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and trained in a dual family and women's health nurse practitioner program at UNC Chapel Hill, doing clinical rotations at Duke in maternal-fetal medicine and labor and delivery triage. She credits the two physicians she works beside for her training, and says caring for women at every stage of life is what she found most rewarding. Her own stated clinical interests are wellness and prevention, adolescent health, diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome, so the menopause side of the work comes from the practice rather than from a focus she names herself. For menopause the practice offers hormone therapy and bone health screening, and it runs a separate wellness arm built around bioidentical hormone pellets, inserted under the skin and meant to last four to six months, with hormone labs drawn about a month after each insertion. Care is in person only, and new patients start by filling out a packet from the site.
Sanders Clinic for Women is an independent women's health practice in Tupelo that has been open since 1971, with nine physicians and three nurse practitioners working out of two offices in town. Dr. Turner joined in 2004 and does general obstetric and gynecologic care, seeing patients at every stage of life. The practice splits its gynecology work into care before 40 and care after 40, and menopause treatment sits in the after-40 list next to well woman exams and urinary health. The site does not say what menopause treatment here involves or whether hormones are part of it. Visits are in person during weekday clinic hours, and a new patient starts by calling or filling in the appointment request form on the site. Dr. Turner studied microbiology at Mississippi State before medical school and has chaired the obstetrics and gynecology section at North Mississippi Medical Center, where the clinic's doctors deliver babies and operate.
