Menopause Society Certified Practitioners in Virginia
137 practitioners have an office in Virginia, and 129 more can see patients here by telehealth. 178 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Richmond, Virginia Beach and Fairfax.
Capital Women's Care DC is a group OB-GYN practice near Foggy Bottom, and Dr. Bajaj is the managing partner of the Washington office. She spent nearly two decades doing both obstetrics and gynecology, then stopped obstetrics in 2022 to practice gynecology only, with perimenopause and menopause as her focus. She says she wants to close the knowledge gap around hormone replacement therapy, and she writes publicly about women's health on a site of her own. You book online or by phone, and appointments can be in person or by video. Alongside menopause care the office does in-office procedures and minimally invasive gyn surgery, so a woman who needs both can stay in one place. Worth knowing is that the practice says an annual well-woman visit with the doctor of your choice usually takes one to three months to get.
Jackie Stone, MD sees women entirely by telehealth, in a practice she runs alone. She is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and in obesity medicine, and treats perimenopause, menopause and primary ovarian insufficiency alongside PCOS, genitourinary symptoms, sexual wellness, and skin and hair changes. First visits run a full hour and cover past records, labs and a treatment plan. Ongoing care is by monthly membership or visit by visit, with direct messaging for members.
A solo telehealth practice run by a Menopause Society Certified women's health nurse practitioner, seeing women aged 18 and over in three states with no physical office. Midlife hormone care runs through a monthly subscription bundling the prescription, a monthly reassessment by video, lab review, lifestyle and supplement guidance and portal messaging, with labs billed separately. Hormones are prescribed as FDA-approved products where possible and compounded bioidenticals when symptoms are not controlled, by patch, cream, gel, oral capsule or vaginal cream. Pellets are not offered because the practice is entirely virtual. The same practice runs a weight program and pay-per-visit gynecology consultations for vaginal infections, sexually transmitted infection testing and contraception.
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.
A nurse-practitioner-owned primary care and wellness practice in Fairfax, founded in 2012, with a second nurse practitioner and a small clinical team. Hormone care is aimed at midlife women from perimenopause through menopause and begins with testing, in-office blood work plus saliva or urine panels, before a plan that may combine nutrition, lifestyle work, herbal remedies, bioidentical topicals or hormone pellets. It sits inside a full primary care and women's health practice covering gynecological exams, contraception, urinary incontinence, thyroid disease and medical weight management, with visits in person or by video.
Therapy for Midlife is Dr. Rashkis's solo virtual practice, and every session runs over video. She works with women moving through perimenopause and menopause, and she also sees men in midlife and couples. Care is talk therapy only, and the FAQ says the practice does not prescribe medication, though she will discuss a referral to a prescribing physician and can speak with your own doctor if you give written permission. For menopause she uses cognitive behavioral therapy for the distress that comes with hot flashes and CBT for insomnia for sleep trouble, alongside acceptance and commitment therapy and emotionally focused therapy. Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly at first and then spaced further apart, and she says most clients need five to fifteen of them. She is a lifelong competitive athlete who says she went through her own midlife upheaval, which is what led her to start the practice.
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.
A solo direct-pay practice in Lone Tree whose stated scope is dermatology, cosmetic procedures and medically supervised weight management. The physician is board certified in dermatology and obesity medicine. Every initial visit is by video, with in-person follow-ups by appointment, and the practice does not bill insurance. Hormone replacement therapy is named only as one reason for a new-patient visit on the fee schedule, and no hormone or menopause care is described anywhere else on the site.
Midlife Medicine is Dr. Todd's solo direct care practice in Great Falls, for women in perimenopause and menopause. She spent two decades in pediatrics, including years as an associate professor at Children's National, and left that work in 2025 after her own experience as a patient in midlife. Care starts with a 60 minute consultation, a follow-up eight weeks later is required if you start hormone therapy, and established patients come back once a year after that. Between visits they message her directly through the patient portal. She uses FDA-approved hormones such as estradiol and progesterone, and avoids pellets and compounded products unless there is a medical reason. She also asks patients to keep their own primary care doctor and OB-GYN for routine screening and urgent problems, because this is a consultative menopause practice rather than a replacement for either.
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.
A physician-led longevity and performance practice based in Seattle, where the practitioner is medical director. Care begins with an in-person day in the Seattle area for baseline diagnostics, covering over a hundred biomarkers, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, continuous glucose monitoring, genomics and multi-cancer screening. It then moves to quarterly labs and structured medical reviews, with follow-ups virtual or in person. A women's track is described for perimenopause, menopause and after, with hormone and metabolic diagnostics and ongoing telehealth support, and physicians provide prescriptions and referrals as clinically appropriate.
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.
IntimMedicine Specialists is a small Washington DC practice that Dr. Simon founded and still runs as medical director, with two physician assistants who have worked with him since the 1990s. He treats women across the whole reproductive span, and the midlife side of the practice covers menopause and perimenopause, low testosterone, bone loss, sexual pain and sexual function after cancer. His approach to hormones is to balance estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and the practice says most women can use hormone therapy with few risks. For testosterone he will use gels, injections or pellets, and he says he does not treat on lab values alone. Visits happen in the M Street office or by video, and virtual appointments are offered on Saturday mornings as well as weekdays. New patients submit a form or call and the office rings back to finish booking, and because the practice runs its own clinical trials some patients are offered a place in a study.
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.
Heather Pickett is a women's health nurse practitioner at a gynecology-only practice with offices in Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania. Before civilian practice she spent years as a Navy nurse, including labor and delivery work and a deployment to a NATO hospital in Afghanistan. The practice is a Biote certified provider, so hormone therapy here leans heavily on pellets placed under the skin in the office every few months. Oral progesterone is added when needed, filled at either a compounding or a regular pharmacy. Visits are billed to insurance and happen in person, and the practice says it is taking new patients.
Dr. Maher is a general OB/GYN at Carilion's Riverside women's clinic in Roanoke who also holds the Menopause Society certification. She sees women through perimenopause and menopause alongside routine gynecology, and chronic pelvic pain is one of the conditions she lists. Before coming to Carilion she spent eight years in private practice in Philadelphia. She also teaches medical students at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. New patients book through MyChart or by phone, and video visits are only for patients she has seen in the past two years.
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.
Dr. Correia is a board-certified OB-GYN who runs a small private clinic that also sees men and offers primary care, weight loss and longevity medicine. Menopause care is one of several services, with its own program built around bioidentical hormones in cream, patch and oral forms. A first visit starts with a hormone panel and a review of symptoms and history. Follow-up labs come about six to eight weeks later, and doses are rechecked every three to six months. The clinic does not take insurance and does not offer online booking, so new patients call to schedule. Visits can be in the Pismo Beach office or by video, and a nurse practitioner also sees patients there on Thursdays.
Dr. Dombo is a board-certified OB-GYN who is going through the menopausal transition herself. She says starting hormone therapy and changing her nutrition and supplements took her from exhaustion and poor sleep back to enjoying life, and that is why she does this work. She trained in the early 2000s, when hormone therapy was widely feared, and now calls it the gold standard for symptom relief. The first visit runs 60 minutes and covers medical and gynecologic history, medications, nutrition and exercise, then a personal treatment plan. The visit also lists a nutritionist assessment, an exercise plan and mindset coaching, and follow-ups run 25 minutes. She writes publicly about why menopause hits Black women harder and how often they face barriers to care.
Amanda Needham is a women's health nurse practitioner at Vanderbilt's Columbia women's health office, and she also sees patients at the Lawrenceburg location. Her care runs through Vanderbilt's gynecology service, which treats menopause and hormone disorders and offers hormone replacement therapy. Her own listed focus is general gynecology, annual exams and menstrual cycle problems, and she carries a share of the office's obstetric work. She trained as a nurse practitioner at Vanderbilt's own school of nursing in 2000 and added a certification in electronic fetal monitoring in 2016. New patients can book her online through the Vanderbilt patient portal. Vanderbilt publishes her patient survey comments in full, praise and complaints alike, so you can read how other women found her before you book.
Dr. Patel is a gynecologic surgeon who has practiced in Fredericksburg since 2005 and runs a small gynecology office with two nurse practitioners. Menopause care happens in person at the Fredericksburg or Spotsylvania office, and the practice bills insurance. The practice is a Biote provider, so hormone pellets placed under the skin every few months are a main option, with oral progesterone added from a regular or compounding pharmacy. It also sells Biote supplements. Dr. Patel is known locally for robotic hysterectomy, so this is a practical choice if you may also need gynecologic surgery. The office is taking new patients, who book by phone and get a registration link before the first visit.
