Menopause Specialists Who Accept Medicare in Texas
341 practitioners have an office in Texas, and 107 more can see patients here by telehealth. 285 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Houston, Austin and Dallas.
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. 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.
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. 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.
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.
