Menopause Specialists Who Accept Insurance 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.
Casey Norton is a nurse practitioner at Midi Health, a virtual clinic that focuses on perimenopause and menopause. She has worked in women's health for about ten years and says she chose the field after seeing how often women's concerns were brushed aside. Visits happen by video, starting with a half-hour first visit and shorter check-ins to adjust the plan. She offers both hormone and non-hormone treatment and follows Midi's research-based protocols, with labs when needed. She talks about the isolation many women feel in midlife and puts real weight on telling them they are not alone. You can book with her directly from her bio, though choosing her may mean fewer open times than booking any Midi clinician.
Tammie Blair sees patients through Midi Health, a virtual women's health clinic that works by video only. She focuses on the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause, and names weight shifts, poor sleep, mood changes and painful sex as the symptoms those changes drive. A first visit runs about 30 minutes and ends with a written care plan, and follow-ups are shorter check-ins you can book as often as you need. Midi's hormone options are FDA-approved patches, pills, gels, creams and sprays, and a plan can also include vaginal estrogen, non-hormone prescriptions and GLP-1 medication. There is no office to visit, so Midi refers out anything that needs an exam such as a mammogram and asks you to keep seeing your own regular doctors. Her own page on the site has a booking link that starts a new patient with her.
Dr. Makkiya runs a small gynecology practice in Vienna where menopause and sexual health are one of four main areas of care. She has a particular interest in helping cancer survivors, including women after breast cancer, manage menopause symptoms and sexual health. She sits on a global committee of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health. She is also a gynecologic surgeon who does vaginal and robotic hysterectomy and treats prolapse and urinary incontinence, so one doctor can cover a lot of midlife care. New patients can book online through the practice portal, and video visits are offered through the same system. She speaks English and Arabic.
Stateline Health is a Martinsville cardiology and vein practice that also runs a small internal medicine side, and Karen Garrett is the provider there who takes care of menopause. She co-founded the practice in 2017 with the cardiologist and has been a PA since 1999, starting her career in women's health. She writes that she is living through menopause herself, and that she wants women to get accurate current information and understand their treatment options. Her internal medicine visits also cover thyroid disease, blood pressure, diabetes and contraception, and the practice runs a cash pay weight loss program using compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. New patient applications for internal medicine are paused right now, although the practice is still taking new cardiology and imaging patients.
Michelle Evans is one of two clinicians at the Endocrine and Diabetes Center, a small endocrinology and diabetes practice in Vienna. Most of her work is diabetes and obesity care, and she holds an advanced diabetes management certification alongside her menopause one. The practice's hormone therapy page takes a strong pro-estrogen position and argues that the breast cancer risk has been overstated. It says breast cancer survivors can take hormone therapy under a doctor's supervision, and it rejects the old advice to use the lowest dose for the shortest time. For low sexual desire after menopause it uses a small daily dose of an FDA-approved testosterone gel made for men, and it states plainly that it does not recommend compounded testosterone. New patients book by phone and bring in a completed registration packet and a menopause health questionnaire they download from the site.
Dr. Hammoud runs her own small gynecology practice in Annandale, and menopause care is one of its named services. She lists hormone replacement among her areas of expertise. For women with severe or complex symptoms she also looks at bone health, heart risk, mood and urinary problems. She is a minimally invasive surgeon and does office hysteroscopy, so gynecologic procedures can be handled in the same practice. The office does no obstetrics, and she speaks Arabic and French as well as English. Visits can be in person or by video.
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.
Dr. West runs a solo gynecology office in Madison and has been in practice for more than twenty years. Her site lists menopause management and testing among her services, though it does not say which hormone treatments she prescribes. She also treats endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts and pelvic pain, and she does her own surgery at nearby hospitals, so a patient who needs an operation stays with the same doctor. She did her OB/GYN residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and is fellowship trained in integrative medicine. Telemedicine is used for things like reviewing results and medication follow-ups, while exams and procedures happen in the office. She also hosts a weekly women's health segment on a local radio station.
Virginia Heart is a large Northern Virginia cardiology group and Dr. Riggs works in its sleep center rather than on the cardiology side. She handles insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs, narcolepsy and vasomotor symptoms, and she is board certified in sleep medicine as well as pulmonary and critical care. Her stated special interest is women's sleep health during the menopause transition and around pregnancy. Nothing on the site says she prescribes hormone therapy, so the care she lists is sleep focused. New patients call the main scheduling line and fill in health history and registration forms ahead of the first visit, and the office files insurance claims for you. Before returning to Virginia she worked as a critical care attending in Brooklyn and Manhattan intensive care units at the height of the COVID pandemic.
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.
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.
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.
