191 practitioners have an office in North Carolina, and 58 more can see patients here by telehealth. 171 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Charlotte, Raleigh and Durham.
Kristina Gardner is a family nurse practitioner at Access Internal Medicine, a small concierge primary care practice in Wilmington that she shares with a physician assistant. Hormone evaluation and therapy are part of her women's health care, and she offers video visits as well as office appointments. Patients pay a yearly membership on top of their regular insurance. Each clinician caps their panel at about 500 people, so visits run longer and same or next day appointments are usually possible. She spent about 15 years focused on diabetes care and is also a diabetes educator. The practice takes a functional medicine approach and will see members in the hospital or at home when needed.
Rachel Picher is a certified nurse midwife at Harris Women's Care, a hospital-affiliated women's health group with offices in Sylva and Franklin. The group lists menopausal care, premenopausal symptoms and hormone replacement among its services. She also delivers babies and does routine gynecology, so menopause is one part of a broad practice. Her profile shows open appointment slots that new patients can book online. Visits are billed to insurance, and the group has a sliding fee discount for people who qualify by income.
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.
Stephanie Roberts is a family nurse practitioner at UNC Women's Health at Holly Springs, a women's primary care and gynecology office that used to be Magnolia Women's Health. She sees women through perimenopause and menopause and prescribes evidence-based hormone therapy. The same office also handles everyday primary care like blood pressure, thyroid and cholesterol, so menopause care can sit alongside your regular checkups. She describes her approach as meeting patients where they are and making healthy changes one step at a time. Her patient reviews often mention that she listens and takes her time.
Dr. Antonelli is a gynecologist who has practiced in Wilmington since 1995 and opened this small office practice in 2014. She does office gynecology only and refers out when surgery is needed. Menopause care is one of the practice's main interests. She prescribes both standard and compounded hormone therapy as well as newer non-hormonal medication. Sexual health is her other big focus, and she writes openly about low libido in women. A nurse practitioner also sees patients, and new patients start by filling in an intake packet before the first office visit.
A four-provider obstetrics and gynecology practice serving the Lake Norman area, covering obstetrics, gynecologic surgery and women's primary care alongside a menopause service line, with a hospital affiliation nearby. Dr. Guida's own focus is minimally invasive robotic surgery for hysterectomy, fibroids and endometriosis. The practice's menopause material describes FDA-approved systemic and vaginal hormone therapy plus non-hormonal options, and cautions against custom-compounded hormones. A sister practice at the same address handles aesthetics and physician-supervised weight management.
Aimee Feste is a nurse midwife at MAHEC Ob/Gyn Specialists, an academic teaching practice in Asheville where Ob/Gyn residents train alongside the faculty. Her provider bio says she cares for women from their first period until after menopause, plus the health events in between. She also works in the practice's Center for Pelvic and Vulvar Health, which she joined in 2020 when a longtime colleague retired, and there she sees patients with vulvar skin conditions and genital pain. Vulvar clinic patients get a call from clinical staff in the month before a first visit to go over health history and what they want from the appointment. New gynecology patients fill out an intake packet for their office, and visits are booked by phone because MAHEC's online self-scheduling only covers its family medicine patients. MAHEC discounts care by family size and income for patients who cannot pay in full.
Dr. Little is one of three OB/GYNs at Atrium Health's One Health OB/GYN office in Cornelius. She also sees patients at the group's Mooresville office, and both take new patients through online booking. The office handles general gynecology and obstetrics, and its own service list names menopausal care and hormone testing. Her stated focus is adolescent gynecology, infertility and obstetrics, and her bio says she loves helping women from pregnancy through menopause. Her father was an OB/GYN, and she says she never expected to follow him until she found the work in medical school. This is ordinary health-system gynecology rather than a dedicated menopause program, so care runs through Atrium's own scheduling and billing.
