MyMenopauseRx is a virtual menopause practice founded by a gynecologist, and Krantz is one of about a dozen clinicians a patient can pick from. Visits are video appointments of about thirty minutes, and most patients come back every eight to twelve weeks until their symptoms settle. She prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone rather than compounded hormones, and the practice is clear that it works alongside a patient's own primary care doctor rather than replacing it. Testosterone is written only for patients located in Illinois, and everyone else gets the prescription from their own doctor while the practice manages the dosing. Krantz has practiced for more than thirty years in university, HMO, community health and telehealth settings, and she completed the integrative medicine fellowship at the University of Arizona with training in medical acupuncture. She works from Oregon and says she has aged alongside her patients, which is how menopause care became her emphasis.

Toun Sogbein is a women's health nurse practitioner with Visana Health, a women's health practice that works entirely by video out of Minneapolis. She handles menopause and perimenopause along with the gynecological and sexual health problems that often sit alongside them, and she came to this work from public health clinics and a community health degree. First visits run 45 minutes, and patients stay with the same provider and can message the care team through the patient portal between visits. Visana's menopause care follows protocols written by Dr. Barbara Levy, and a patient can go the hormone route or a non-hormonal one after talking it through. Labs and imaging get ordered near home when they are needed, and optional health coaching covers food and exercise for anyone who wants that support. Many patients reach Visana through an employer or health plan, and the site has a start page where you look up yours.
Natalie Bachynsky founded Houston County Family Medical Clinic in Crockett in 2020 and still sees patients there. It is a rural family practice caring for infants, children and adults. Menopause care is part of its women's health service, which offers both hormonal and non-hormonal treatment for symptoms like hot flashes and insomnia. The clinic bills insurance and welcomes walk-ins, and new patients can print a registration packet from the website before their first visit. Before moving to East Texas she spent ten years caring for women and infants in the Texas Medical Center and taught nursing at UTMB for seven years.
Dr. Wilson runs HerCare, a clinic for women only inside Amarillo Medical Specialists. She sees women 18 and up for primary care and pays particular attention to menopause management, bone health and family planning. She spent seven years directing a women's health and sex and gender differences center at Texas Tech and still teaches medical students about menopause. Visits lean on explaining the evidence behind each treatment option, and patients often leave with low-cost health habits as homework. New patients fill out an online pre-registration form, and staff then call to book a visit at the Westgate Parkway office.
Dr. Campbell has been a partner at Northlake Ob/Gyn since 2000 and sees patients at its Plano office. After more than twenty years of delivering babies she gave up obstetrics and now practices gynecology only, with a growing focus on perimenopause and menopause. She has known many of her patients since their childbearing years and says she has grown up alongside them. She still does her own surgery, including robotic and other minimally invasive procedures such as hysterectomy and fibroid removal. This is a conventional insurance-based gynecology office, and the practice describes hormone therapy with pills, patches or creams along with low-dose vaginal estrogen. New patients can request an appointment through an online form or by calling the Plano office.
Dr. Sims is a Houston OB-GYN who runs a perimenopause and menopause clinic inside her own practice. Most visits happen by video, and established patients can also be seen at her central Houston office. New patients start with a virtual visit that opens with a short group orientation and then moves to private time with her. She mixes standard hormone therapy with functional medicine, herbs and Ayurveda, and she also treats low testosterone in women and runs a medical weight loss program. She writes openly about her own autoimmune illness and losing 70 pounds, which is what pushed her toward this style of care. Her main practice bills insurance, and women outside her network can join a separate self-pay program built around labs and education modules.
Emily Hicks is a family nurse practitioner at a small concierge primary care practice in Rollingwood, just outside Austin. She has been a nurse for over 17 years and says perimenopause and menopause are her main focus. The practice keeps its patient list to a few hundred people, so visits run long and members can reach the team directly after hours. Hormone options on offer include estrogen patches, vaginal estrogen, micronized progesterone and topical testosterone, and the practice also does bone health checks and breast cancer risk screening. New patients start with a free consultation, which can be in person or by video. Members keep their regular insurance or Medicare, which still covers visits and tests.
Dr. Chalasani is an Austin OB/GYN who has run a private practice for more than 25 years. The PausetiveMD website is for her in-person menopause seminars, not for her clinic. At a seminar a small group of women spends a morning with her going over hormone science, symptoms and hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options, and each woman leaves with a written list of options. She says she is 58 and has been through most menopause symptoms herself. The site does not say how to become her patient.
Dr. Meinhardt is a board-certified OB-GYN at a long-running Lewisville group practice, and menopause and hormone therapy are named focuses of her own work. She joined the practice in 2024 after finishing active duty in the Air Force, and she grew up in nearby Garland. Her bio says she builds treatment plans around each patient's lifestyle. She also treats urinary incontinence and pelvic pain, which often come up alongside menopause. New patients can book a hormone consult online at either the Lewisville or Flower Mound office. Visits are in person.
A psychiatry practice built around reproductive and women's mental health across the lifespan, from puberty through menopause, alongside general adult psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder and trauma. Care is given in person in Austin or by video in Texas and California, on an insurance-based model with a small team of a psychiatrist, a physician assistant and two psychiatric nurse practitioners. Menopause work is framed psychiatrically. She judges where a patient is in her hormonal transition and weighing menopausal hormone therapy, antidepressants or both, with nutrition, supplement and sleep guidance alongside. The founder holds a perinatal mental health certification and further training in perimenopausal mental health.

Liv HRT is a small Austin practice founded in 2025 by nurse practitioner Kristen Bernal and her husband Adolfo, who runs the office. She is the sole clinician and spent seven years in primary care at an Austin integrative practice beforehand. Care spans bioidentical hormone therapy, testosterone for women, thyroid treatment for Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism, hormone-focused hair-loss treatment, and compounded GLP-1 weight management, prescribed through either retail or compounding pharmacies depending on the case. Patients start with a free 15-minute phone consult, then a 30-minute new-patient visit, with follow-up at six weeks and roughly every six months once a dose is stable. The office is in central Austin and she is licensed to see patients anywhere in Texas by telemedicine.

Kelly Perisin is a nurse practitioner at MyMenopauseRx, a video-only practice that treats nothing but perimenopause and menopause. It was started by a Chicago-area gynecologist and bills insurance like a regular office. Visits take about 30 minutes on Zoom, and you can book the same clinician every time and message the care team between visits. Kelly came to menopause care from weight management and urgent care, and she draws on that when helping women with midlife weight gain. The practice prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone sent to your own pharmacy, and it prescribes testosterone directly only for patients in Illinois. It is meant to work alongside your own primary care doctor, who still handles anything that needs a physical exam.
Dr. Ughanze is an OB-GYN with UT Physicians who says menopause management is her specialized focus. She still practices both obstetrics and gynecology, so she sees women from their teens through menopause and after. She also teaches as an assistant professor at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston. She sees patients in person at the group's women's centers in Friendswood and southeast Houston. New patients can request an appointment online or by phone through the UT Physicians system, which bills insurance.
