Menopause Specialists Who Accept Medicare in New York
349 practitioners have an office in New York, and 126 more can see patients here by telehealth. 329 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in New York, Rochester and Brooklyn.
Capital Region Women's Care is a gynecology only practice with offices in Troy and Clifton Park and a team of five clinicians. Its services list includes menopause care alongside annual exams, ultrasound, contraception and in office procedures, though no page describes which hormone treatments are offered. Dr. Bloss is the practice's surgeon and performs robotic and laparoscopic hysterectomy, fibroid removal, ovary removal and endometriosis surgery. He has a particular interest in chronic pelvic pain and belongs to the International Pelvic Pain Society. His bio says the births of his six children shaped how he practices and that he spends a lot of time talking things through with patients. Current patients can book annual exams, problem visits and injections online, but new patients still have to call the office to get established.
Dr. Kurss is an OB-GYN at Invision Health, a large multi-specialty group in Williamsville outside Buffalo. Its doctors in neurology, pain, primary care, physical therapy and other fields all share one medical record. He does some gynecologic procedures in the office, such as endometrial ablation for heavy periods, so patients can skip a hospital stay. He teaches residents as a clinical assistant professor at the University at Buffalo. His practice bio doesn't mention hormone therapy directly, though the group's other OB-GYNs list menopause care. New patients book through the main scheduling line.
Greece OB/GYN is a long-established Rochester-area obstetrics and gynecology group of four physicians plus a PA and an LPN, caring for women from puberty through menopause out of one suburban office built in 2019. Alongside routine gyn and obstetric care it runs a urogynecology arm with urodynamic testing, pessary management, bladder instillations, post-tibial nerve stimulation and bladder Botox, and does office-based procedures including hysteroscopy, colposcopy, LEEP and endometrial biopsy. It says it was the first practice in the greater Rochester area to offer ThermiVa, a non-hormonal radiofrequency treatment for vaginal dryness, painful intercourse and urinary incontinence. Dr. Hunse's listed professional interests are pre-conception and prenatal care, family planning, infertility, menopause, and minimally invasive surgery including robotic procedures.
Tiffani Hughson is a certified nurse midwife at Maiden Lane Medical, a large multi-specialty practice in lower Manhattan. Her practice profile lists her as a telemedicine provider, so visits with her are virtual for patients in New York. She trained in full-scope obstetrics and gynecology and now focuses on perimenopause, menopause and women's sexual health. She manages hormone therapy alongside routine gynecologic care. The practice offers oral and transdermal hormone therapy, vaginal estrogen and DHEA, and non-hormonal medicines. Visits are booked online through the practice's 24/7 telemedicine scheduler.
Trust Women's Healthcare is a women's health practice with offices in Brooklyn and in Deer Park on Long Island. Menopause care sits alongside PCOS, routine gynecology, sexual health and pregnancy care, and for menopause the practice names hormone therapy, non-hormonal prescriptions and treatment for vaginal dryness as its options. It was founded by a nurse practitioner who built it for women who get brushed off elsewhere, especially women of color, and it runs on insurance rather than out of pocket payment. Keavern Kirby earned her master's in women's health at SUNY Downstate and her own stated focus is gynecology, menstrual cycle disorders and pelvic pain. The office is open six days a week with evening hours most weekdays and Saturday mornings, and new patients pick their own slot through the online scheduler. There is also a medically supervised weight loss program that can include prescription medication.
Dr. Zimmerman is a board-certified internist with a small private practice in Bay Head, where she sees adults for primary care as well as menopause. She uses bioidentical hormones when hormone therapy is a good fit and prescribes non-hormonal options when it is not. Before recommending anything she goes through your medical and family history, with close attention to osteoporosis, breast cancer and heart disease risk. She worked as a psychiatric social worker before medicine and still manages psychiatric medication, so she can treat mood and anxiety alongside hormones. She books longer visits than most offices on purpose. New patients request a visit through an online form, and staff confirm it by phone.
Faubion is an internist at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville and sees patients through its Women's Health Specialty Clinic. She founded and directs the Mayo Clinic Center for Women's Health, and every condition listed on her own clinical page is a menopause or female sexual health one, so midlife care is the whole of her practice. The clinic runs two routes for a new patient, a menopause consultation that covers natural, surgical and cancer treatment induced menopause as well as primary ovarian insufficiency, and a sexual health consultation for low libido and painful sex. Her page says she helps women work through hormone therapy and understand their options. Appointments go through Mayo's central request process, which in most cases needs no referral, and established patients message her team through the Mayo patient portal. She also practices at Mayo's Rochester campus, and away from work she grows orchids and cooks.
Caitlin Givens is one of two providers at Takoma Park Gynecology, a small woman-owned gynecology practice run by nurse-midwives. The practice covers care from adolescence through menopause and beyond, and it does no pregnancy care. A new patient can book with her online, either as a full new patient visit with an exam or as a menopause consultation that is a conversation only. She prescribes FDA-approved hormone therapy, including estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and uses compounded hormones only when a manufactured product is unavailable or a poor fit. Beyond menopause she works in sexual medicine and chronic vulvar conditions, and the practice also handles bone health and prescription weight management. Her interest in women's health began as a Peace Corps volunteer in northern Senegal, and she teaches nurse-midwifery and women's health students at Georgetown.
Mulberry OBGYN is a solo practice on Centre Street in Lower Manhattan, started by Dr. Nyein so that patients see the same physician at every visit. Perimenopause and menopause are the center of the practice, alongside sexual health, surgical gynecology and a concierge pregnancy program. He begins with a long history of cycles and symptoms rather than a single blood test, and uses labs and imaging only where they add something. For hormones he favors regulated FDA-approved preparations and advises against compounded protocols and pellets, and he will consider testosterone only for diagnosed low desire. Because he is also a minimally invasive and robotic surgeon, he can work up abnormal bleeding in his own office with ultrasound, endometrial sampling or hysteroscopy. He is an osteopathic physician who offers hands-on osteopathic manipulative treatment to some patients, and he is the next generation of a family that has cared for women in New York for more than fifty years.
Greece OB/GYN is a small, long-running practice on the west side of Rochester with four physicians, a physician assistant and a nurse. Tariq-Fazili trained in obstetrics and gynecology in Rochester and joined the practice after residency, and her own bio names menopause as one of her professional interests along with adolescent gynecology and minimally invasive robotic surgery. It is a conventional insurance-based office, so you call during set phone hours to book and bring the downloadable new-patient forms with you. Gynecology care covers menopausal transitions and office procedures such as hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy, and the practice also runs a urogynecology service for bladder and prolapse problems. The site does not say which hormone treatments she uses, and it never mentions virtual visits. She and her husband live in Rochester with their daughter and two sons.
