Menopause Society Certified Practitioners in New Mexico
30 practitioners have an office in New Mexico, and 43 more can see patients here by telehealth. 46 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Rio Rancho.
Kara Stiles runs Frog Medicine on her own in a small office park in northeast Albuquerque and sees patients by appointment only. Menopause care is booked online as either a longer new patient visit or a shorter return visit, and the booking page says she has been through menopause herself. She asks you to bring old labs, imaging and notes from other providers so you can work through them together at the first visit. She is a nurse practitioner who spent a decade in primary care, sexual and reproductive health and hospice work in New Mexico, and she also provides gender affirming hormone care. People starting hormones usually come back in three to six months, and less often after that. She is a veteran herself and keeps a separate visit type for military, veteran and first responder patients.

Jane Epstein is a nurse practitioner with more than 35 years in practice who runs Menopause New Mexico, a small Albuquerque clinic for perimenopause and menopause. She is also a certified sexuality counselor, so sexual health gets real attention, including low libido, vaginal dryness and pain with sex. Care starts with an hour-long new patient visit that looks at symptoms, history and risks such as bone and heart health, and treatment can be hormone therapy or non-hormonal options. Visits are in person at the office or by video, and patients message Jane directly through the patient portal for refills and questions. Long-term prescriptions are renewed at a yearly hour-long visit, and Jane will send a short bridging prescription if you run low before it.
Marissa runs a solo cash-pay telehealth practice based in Santa Fe and sees women from their mid-30s onward for perimenopause and menopause care anywhere in New Mexico. Care starts with an hour-long first visit and then shorter follow-ups every few months until treatment is stable, with portal messaging in between. She mostly prescribes FDA-approved bioidentical estradiol and progesterone that any local pharmacy can fill, and says most women will not need a compounding pharmacy. She does not order a standard lab panel for everyone and often decides on hormones from symptoms and history alone. She wants mammograms up to date before hormone therapy starts, and she also prescribes testosterone for low desire and non-hormonal options when hormones are not a fit.
Terra Share runs a solo practice out of Denver that is entirely virtual, and she sees patients for perimenopause, menopause and gender-affirming hormone care anywhere in Colorado. First visits run 60 minutes and follow-ups 45, with secure messaging in between. She orders and interprets labs herself and manages prescriptions for up to a year when that is appropriate. She does not bill insurance, and she says that is exactly what buys the longer visit. She also does short gyn urgent care visits in nine other states, but hormone care stays inside Colorado. She has written clinical protocols for larger healthcare organizations, and after living in Steamboat Springs and Missoula she cares most about reaching women who are nowhere near a city.
Jennifer McGeorge is a nurse midwife who spent years in home birth and labor and delivery before narrowing her practice to menopause after going through her own transition. Oasis is a small solo practice with an office in Montrose, plus phone and video visits. Care starts with a free short call and a long first visit, then shorter follow-ups and a longer yearly check-in. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and offers non-hormonal medication for women who can't or don't want to take estrogen. She doesn't do physical exams, so you keep your own primary care provider for that side of your health. The office is up a flight of stairs with no elevator, and she will arrange another place to meet if you ask.
Dr. Rhodes is a gynecologist who runs a small solo office in Webster near Galveston Bay, and menopause care and hormone therapy are part of her general gynecology practice. She stopped taking insurance at the start of 2025 and now posts a plain price list, with separate first and follow-up visits for hormone care by video. She sees women of all ages, with lower visit prices for patients 65 and older, and she also lists cancer survivorship and bone health among the conditions she treats. She says face-to-face care is best, so video visits are offered as a convenience rather than the main model. She has practiced since 1992 and also travels to rural areas that are short of doctors to see women there.
Bold Wellness is Torrie Clontz's own virtual practice for women in midlife, run from Las Vegas and open to patients in about fifteen states. Care starts with a two visit intake that includes a wide blood panel drawn at a lab near you and a follow up to go through the results and set a plan. After that most patients stay on a monthly membership that covers prescription changes and messaging with her through the patient portal. Alongside hormone therapy she runs a weight and metabolic program using GLP-1 medication, and she adds functional tests such as gut, cortisol and vaginal microbiome panels when they fit. She is clear that she is not a primary care provider or an OB-GYN, so patients need to keep their own and see her for the hormone and midlife side. Her own hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos diagnosis, which came after a circus career ended in injury, is why she started the practice and she treats that alongside hormones.
Stephanie Martinez runs Prime Optimal Health, a small practice in the Belton and Temple area of Central Texas. She sees women by telehealth in Texas, Colorado, Montana and New Mexico, and offers some in-person care locally. New patients can start with a free discovery call, then a 45 to 60 minute midlife consultation. You can stop at an assessment and plan, or choose a short program or a 90-day program that starts hormone therapy and follows up as you adjust, and established patients can move to a monthly membership. She came to menopause care from urgent care, where she kept meeting tired, struggling patients who had been told their labs looked normal.
Diana Kumar is a board certified OB-GYN who co-founded Gliss Wellness, a virtual practice built around perimenopause and menopause. All care happens by video and secure messaging, so there is no office to visit. A menopause visit runs about 30 minutes and ends with a plan and prescriptions for an initial three month period, followed by a check-in visit before refills continue for the rest of the year. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits, can order labs and scans, and sends prescriptions to the patient's own pharmacy. She also sees women for weight counseling and for urgent gynecology problems handled through a short written form. Her stated areas of interest are PCOS, sexual dysfunction, bone health and longevity medicine.
Dr. Neelagaru runs a virtual-only specialty clinic for menopause and sexual medicine. She no longer provides primary care, so patients keep their own doctor for routine care, physicals and pelvic exams. New patients start with a free video strategy call, and care runs through 60-minute video visits or her four-month Flourish Method program with labs and monthly follow-ups. She prescribes FDA-approved bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, plus vaginal estrogen and non-hormonal options, and she does not place pellets but helps women move off them. Sexual health is at the center of her practice, and she also sees male partners for erectile dysfunction and low testosterone. She is perimenopausal herself and says her own hormonal changes shaped how she practices.
Julie Murphy is both a family nurse practitioner and a psychiatric nurse practitioner, so she manages hormone therapy and mental health care together in one plan. Care is virtual for patients in New Mexico and New York. New patients start with a free intro call and a long first consultation, then continue on a membership or with single visits. She prescribes bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone and adds one hormone at a time to see how each is tolerated. Sexual health and vaginal comfort are covered in every hormone consult, and she gives patients direct contact between visits. She came to menopause care after struggling to get answers during her own perimenopause, and earlier worked for Indian Health Services.

Rozalyn Snyder is a nurse practitioner who owns this Albuquerque medical spa and runs its hormone therapy service herself. She spent more than 14 years in medical aesthetics, first as an esthetician and then as a nurse, and worked in pharmaceutical sales and training before that. Hormone care starts with a full health assessment, and she then builds a regimen around the results. She prescribes only FDA approved hormones and says plainly that she steers patients away from pellet therapy. The same practice offers medical weight loss, and it sees patients in person or by video.
Kristen Loose is the menopause specialist at Dr. Gina Mantor's medical spa and weight clinic in Westerville, where the rest of the practice focuses on aesthetics and weight loss. She treats perimenopause and menopause with standard hormone therapy, and offers non-hormonal prescriptions and lifestyle advice to women who can't or would rather not take hormones. The first consultation is free and happens by video. After that she sees patients in the office on Wednesdays and Saturdays or by appointment. She follows Menopause Society guidance closely and writes on the clinic's site that soy and black cohosh don't hold up for hot flashes.
Dana Johnson is a registered nurse who spent about 20 years in the ICU before founding Qavah Functional Wellness, a telehealth-only practice. She started it after her own Long COVID turned into autoimmune and gut problems and then a hard menopause transition. Hormone therapy is offered to Alabama residents only, while the lab and gut health services also reach a few other southern states. Each hormone plan starts with lab work and a consultation, and bioidentical hormones come as creams, gels, pills, troches or injections. Prescriptions are written by the practice's licensed providers rather than by Dana, who is a nurse. New patients start with an online consultation request, and the team calls back within one business day.
Dr. Long runs a newly opened direct primary care practice in Laguna Niguel. He is a board-certified family doctor with a fellowship in integrative medicine, so menopause care is one part of what he does for adults rather than the whole practice. Hormone therapy evaluation and ongoing dose changes come with the monthly membership, with no separate charge for those visits. He keeps his patient list small and says visits run 45 to 60 minutes, and members call or text him directly instead of going through a front desk. He is fluent in English and Spanish and has training in addiction medicine.
Gliss Wellness is a virtual-only OB/GYN practice Dr. Walsh co-founded with a second board-certified OB/GYN, and menopause care is its main focus. Care starts with a 30-minute video consultation about your symptoms, and if hormone therapy suits you, you leave with prescriptions for the first three months. A follow-up at three months keeps refills going for the rest of the year, and refills in between happen by message through the patient portal. There is no membership, and you fill prescriptions at your own pharmacy. The doctors can't examine you in person but can order labs and other tests. Dr. Walsh's own interests include pelvic pain, endometriosis, fibroids and weight loss, and a free 15-minute call lets you meet the team before booking.
Mercedes Deal founded Rêver Wellness, a private-pay clinic in Coral Gables that blends hormone care with skin treatments and weight care. Hormone therapy there is only available through a paid membership, and the tiers that include it also cover follow-up visits and lab work. Care starts with baseline labs and a first visit of about two hours, then labs are repeated every three months while the plan is adjusted. She prescribes bioidentical estradiol, progesterone and testosterone for women in perimenopause and menopause. She is a family nurse practitioner with extra training in functional medicine and peptide therapy, and the clinic also runs a thyroid and adrenal workup. New patients start with an intake questionnaire and a member of the team replies within a day or two.
Elizabeth Swenson is a board certified obstetrician gynecologist certified by the Menopause Society. Her listing points to Gennev, a national telehealth menopause service that bills insurance and also publishes self pay rates. Gennev does not name her anywhere. Its Our Providers page lists thirty six doctors and she is not among them, the site search returns no result for her, and no bio page exists for her while other clinicians' bios load normally. No other current practice could be found for her.
