Menopause Specialists Who Accept Insurance in South Carolina
50 practitioners have an office in South Carolina, and 51 more can see patients here by telehealth. 61 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Mount Pleasant, Columbia and Greenville.
Dr. Evans practices at a Novant Health clinic on Daniel Island that handles menopause and sexual wellness only. Three clinicians work there, and a new patient gets a 40 minute first visit. Her own focus is hormone change and sexual health, including pain with intimacy, low libido and recurrent vaginal infections. The clinic prescribes hormone therapy and non hormonal treatment, and it also works on bladder and pelvic floor symptoms. Visits can be virtual or in person, though the clinic asks patients to come in for testosterone compound refills. She says most women never raise sexual health problems with a provider, and she built her practice around giving them the chance to.
Waverly Women's Health is the OB/GYN clinic of Cooperative Health, a federally qualified health center serving Columbia and the surrounding Midlands. Moore is one of seven providers there, working alongside OB/GYN physicians and other nurse practitioners. The clinic covers women's health at every age, from annual exams and pregnancy care through menopause and post-menopause hormone therapy. Visits are in person on weekdays, and new patients either call the clinic or send an appointment request online for a scheduler to answer within two business days. Because it is a community health center, fees slide with household income for people without insurance and no one is turned away for being unable to pay. Interpreters can be arranged, including Spanish and American Sign Language.
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.
Dr. Houlton is an OB/GYN at MUSC Women's Health in Mount Pleasant and also sees patients at the Daniel Island office. She lists menopause as one of her main clinical interests alongside robotic surgery and pregnancy care. She practiced in Seattle for almost nine years before moving to Charleston. She sees women of all ages and says she values caring for the same patients over many years. New patients can book a new gynecology visit online through MUSC MyChart.
Dr. Blank is an internist who runs a concierge primary care practice through MUSC Health in Mount Pleasant. Members pay a yearly fee on top of their usual insurance and get same-day or next-day visits, in person or by video, plus direct contact with her by phone, text or email. She keeps a small patient panel so visits are not rushed. She is also board certified in lifestyle medicine and obesity medicine, and she builds diet, exercise and daily habits into treatment with a focus on progress rather than perfection. Her pages do not describe a separate menopause service, so menopause care here is part of her ongoing primary care. Joining means making her your primary care doctor, and patients must be 18 or older.
