Simone Medical is a small clinic in Matthews run by Lindsay Simone, a family nurse practitioner who trained through the BHRT Training Academy in bioidentical hormones and functional medicine. She writes on the site that she went through hormone imbalance and weight gain herself, and says that is what pushed her toward functional medicine. Care starts with lab testing and a talk through your symptoms and history, then runs as a three month hormone program with video visits and messaging in between. Hormones come as creams, gels, patches or tablets, and prescriptions go through the clinic's own network of compounding pharmacies rather than your local drugstore. She also runs weight loss and wellness coaching programs, and patients can combine those with hormone care. Visits are in person or by video, but you have to be physically in North Carolina for each one.
Peter Salib is an OB/GYN at Novant Health Southeast OB/GYN in Matthews, and he is one of the clinicians on Novant Health Virtual Menopause Wellness. That service runs by video and covers perimenopause through postmenopause, with hormone therapy among the treatments it offers. It also handles sleep problems, sexual health and bone loss, and it can connect you to Novant cardiology if heart health is a worry. If you need labs, imaging or an in person exam, your care team arranges it at a Novant location. The rest of his practice is general gynecology, including minimally invasive and robotic surgery and obstetric ultrasound. He says the patient relationships are what drew him to the field, and he sees patients in English, Arabic or Spanish.
