Dr. Bernardy is a family physician who runs a direct primary care practice in south Charlotte with one other doctor. Membership covers unlimited office visits of 30 to 60 minutes, direct messaging, and phone or video visits, with same-day or next-day appointments. Menopause care sits inside her general women's health work alongside Pap smears, pelvic exams and birth control. She spent years as national medical director for an employer-based primary care company and taught residents at the University of Colorado. The office has its own pharmacy with medicines at wholesale prices and a physician-supervised weight program. You can book a free video meet and greet with her before joining.
The Eastover Clinic is Dr. Emily McLean's solo, direct-pay dermatology practice in Charlotte, built around long visits booked by length rather than insurance codes. Medical and cosmetic dermatology are the core, with a lifestyle-medicine line for midlife women covering hormonal acne, hair thinning and the skin changes of perimenopause and menopause. Hormone therapy and FDA-approved weight medication are prescribed when medically appropriate, and those conversations are steered to the hour-long signature consultation. She coordinates with a patient's primary care physician, OB-GYN or endocrinologist. The practice sees men, women and children of all ages, so midlife women are a focus rather than the whole panel, and virtual visits are available to patients physically located in North Carolina.
