Dr. Welsh is an OB-GYN at Valley Medical Group's gynecology office in Ridgewood, part of the Valley Health System. Menopause is one of the conditions her bio lists, along with pregnancy, fibroids, PCOS and infertility, so a woman in midlife sees her in a general gynecology practice rather than a menopause clinic. Care runs the way a hospital group runs. Visits are in the Ridgewood office, insurance is billed, and appointments are made by phone or through Valley's online scheduling. She chairs Women's Services for Valley Medical Group and speaks on maternal mortality and morbidity. She says she grew up in an underserved area and saw the gap in care there, and that is what pushed her into medicine. Her page does not say what she prescribes for menopause.
Dr. Frisch is an endocrinologist in Ridgewood who treats perimenopause and menopause alongside thyroid, diabetes and weight problems. She is also board certified in obesity medicine, and before medical school she worked at Merck researching estrogen receptors. It is a small practice that books long visits, and patients can reach their doctor directly by phone and email. The first visit is in person, and some follow-ups can be done by video. She checks bone health as part of menopause care and treats osteoporosis when needed. She speaks Spanish and Hungarian.
Dr. Kim is a gynecologist at Valley Medical Group in Ridgewood, part of the Valley Health System, and she sees patients in the office with insurance billed. She is one of four certified menopause practitioners at the group's Menopause Center, which opened in 2025 at the same Ridgewood address where she sees her gynecology patients. Valley says the menopause team works with a patient's cardiologist, oncologist, nutritionist or sleep physician, and that treatment can mean lifestyle changes, medication or alternative therapies. Her own bio is about general gynecology, including heavy periods, abnormal Pap results and contraception, and in the office she does colposcopy, saline sonograms, IUD insertions and uterine biopsies. She coordinates the global health curriculum for Valley's OB-GYN residency and has volunteered as a surgeon on a medical mission to Guatemala for the past eight years. Nothing Valley publishes says what she prescribes for menopause.
