Menopause Society Certified Practitioners in Vermont
21 practitioners have an office in Vermont, and 58 more can see patients here by telehealth. 46 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Burlington, Northfield and South Burlington.
Kerry Folkman runs a small practice focused only on perimenopause and menopause. Most visits are by video, and she sees patients in person in Brookline about one day a month. The first visit is a full hour and ends with a written treatment plan, and she sends detailed summaries after visits so you don't have to remember everything. She prescribes FDA-approved estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, though testosterone is only available to patients in Massachusetts. She also has a particular interest in how midlife hormone changes affect ADHD, anxiety and depression, and she prescribes GLP-1 medications for weight and metabolic health. Follow-up visits can be paid one at a time or through a package or subscription.
Dr. Duncan runs a solo self-pay micropractice in Hanover and sees women in New Hampshire and Vermont in person, by video or by phone. Every new patient starts with a 90-minute consultation, then chooses to pay per visit or join a five-month or yearly membership that bundles follow-ups and messaging. She is an internist whose long primary care career included the Navajo Nation and rural Utah, and she ties hormone care to heart, bone and brain health. She leans toward FDA-approved transdermal and bioidentical hormones and uses compounded hormones or testosterone when they are called for. Following Menopause Society guidance, she does not order hormone level testing to pick doses. New patients who are unsure whether the practice fits can book a short discovery call first.
Dr. Lori Davis is a nurse practitioner in Ithaca who works where menopause medicine and sexual health meet. She is also a certified sex counselor, so low desire, painful sex and strain in a relationship can be handled by the same person who prescribes. She offers hormone therapy including vaginal estrogen and testosterone, plus non-hormonal medications, and follows Menopause Society guidelines. Compounded hormones are not her first choice, though she will go over the evidence with you. Most patients have one or two visits to start and then come back once a year to review and renew medications. Medical care is only for people living in New York or Vermont, in person in Ithaca or by video.
Kristine Groemping is a family nurse practitioner and former Navy officer who started out in labor and delivery nursing and later worked as a menopause specialist at Evernow. She founded this small cash-pay practice, which treats perimenopause and menopause along with weight management, thyroid conditions and low libido in women. She is openly against pellets, pricey supplements and frequent hormone lab testing, and follows Menopause Society guidelines for estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Most care happens by video, with refills handled by video or secure message, and she also sees patients at an office in southwest Austin. New patients can request a first hormone, testosterone or weight consultation online, and the booking page also offers a free introductory call.
Dr. Moayedi is a Dallas OB/GYN who specializes in complex family planning and runs her own small practice. Her perimenopause and menopause care happens entirely by video, and she reviews your history and explains the science behind the treatment plan. Between visits you can text her directly with questions. Most patients need one or two follow-up visits to adjust doses, then a yearly visit to keep refills going. Prescriptions go to whatever pharmacy you choose. The practice doesn't take insurance, but it works with nonprofit funds to help Texas patients cover visit costs.
Kate Stormfield runs Monarch West as a one-person telehealth practice with a deliberately small panel of patients. She treats perimenopause and menopause with estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and non-hormonal options, and also provides gender-affirming hormone care and sexual health services. She spent more than ten years at Planned Parenthood in Vermont, where she helped grow its telehealth services. New patients start with a longer video visit. Follow-ups usually come at one month after starting hormones and then every few months in the first year. Testosterone can only be prescribed to patients in Oregon. She sees women aged about 35 to 65 and expects you to keep your own primary care provider.
Dr. Menn is an OB/GYN who sees menopause patients only by video, and only women living in New York, Connecticut, Vermont or Florida. She survived breast cancer more than 20 years ago, went through premature menopause herself and carries a BRCA mutation. A lot of her practice is breast cancer survivors and BRCA carriers who want help with menopause symptoms and hormone questions. The first visit is an hour long. It covers your history and a risk check for heart, breast and bone health, and ends with a written plan that may include hormone therapy, vaginal hormones or non-hormonal medicine. New patients email the office first and are then told which visit to book. She works alongside your own gynecologist or oncologist rather than replacing them.
Diana Kumar is a board certified OB-GYN who co-founded Gliss Wellness, a virtual practice built around perimenopause and menopause. All care happens by video and secure messaging, so there is no office to visit. A menopause visit runs about 30 minutes and ends with a plan and prescriptions for an initial three month period, followed by a check-in visit before refills continue for the rest of the year. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits, can order labs and scans, and sends prescriptions to the patient's own pharmacy. She also sees women for weight counseling and for urgent gynecology problems handled through a short written form. Her stated areas of interest are PCOS, sexual dysfunction, bone health and longevity medicine.
Greentree is a small gynecology clinic in White River Junction that Teresa opened in 2024 so she could spend more time with each patient. It focuses on perimenopause, menopause and vulvovaginal problems, alongside routine gynecology. She offers menopause hormone therapy and also talks through evidence-based non-hormonal options. Before opening the clinic she spent ten years at Dartmouth Hitchcock, where she saw patients with complex vulvar conditions like lichen sclerosus. You book online through the patient portal, in person or by video if you live in Vermont or New Hampshire. New patient slots are limited and open eight weeks ahead, so you may need to check back.
Dr. Carol runs a small concierge practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, and she is going through midlife herself. She spent about 20 years as an emergency physician before turning to menopause care. Care starts with a free 30-minute video call. After that comes a package of two long visits, each 60 to 90 minutes, and you can message her between and after them. Visits can be at her Manhattan office, by video, or at your home or workplace. The visits look at symptom treatment along with bone, heart and breast cancer risk. She does not replace your own doctors, so you still need a primary care doctor and a gynecologist for exams and mammograms.
Dr. Seed runs her menopause care through a separate cash-pay service called Empowered Menopause, alongside the direct primary care practice she founded in Bar Harbor in 2015. New patients start with a 45-minute one-on-one menopause consult, in the office or by video, which comes with three months of direct messaging and can be credited toward her ongoing Empowered Menopause Care Plan. She is not taking new primary care members herself, so she works alongside your own primary care provider. Her patient materials favor FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone over custom-compounded hormones. She also runs a monthly group series on menopause topics with recorded sessions, and she served in the Peace Corps in Côte d'Ivoire before medical school.
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.
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.
Dr. Hertel runs a virtual-only practice focused on perimenopause, menopause and midlife care, with every visit held inside a secure patient portal. She is a family physician going through the menopause transition herself, and says that experience is what drew her to this work. She prescribes FDA-approved hormone therapy sent to your local pharmacy and does not use estrogen or testosterone pellets. The practice also offers medication-supported weight care and help with low libido and painful sex. It does not do Pap smears, pelvic exams or primary care, so you keep your own doctor and gynecologist for screenings. New patients start with a free 15-minute discovery call, and people outside her licensed states can book an educational visit that ends with a written plan but no prescriptions.
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.
Dr. Maiella runs a naturopathic clinic in Brattleboro, and much of her work is Lyme disease, tick-borne illness and complex chronic disease. For perimenopause and menopause she prescribes bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone after screening each patient's personal and family history. She writes that for perimenopausal women she generally prefers bioidentical hormones over birth control pills because the dose can be adjusted as the body changes. Hormones are never the only tool, and she says her women's clinic is not an anti-aging practice built on high-dose hormones. First visits run 60 to 75 minutes, and she also keeps bees and offers bee venom therapy.

Alison Farr runs Ascent Healthcare, a small practice near Burlington that offers menopause consultations alongside membership primary care. She worked in emergency medicine and cardiology before focusing on menopause. She takes on higher-risk cases that other clinicians often turn away, including women with BRCA or ATM mutations, a history of breast cancer or a history of blood clots. The first menopause visit runs an hour, and she plans on follow-ups to adjust treatment over time rather than a single visit. Patients can join a monthly membership for portal access between visits or pay per visit instead. New patients currently join a waitlist to see her, and visits are offered in person in Shelburne or by video.
Synchronicity Health is a small Sacramento practice built around Somer Schreiber-Small, a family nurse practitioner with more than 20 years in healthcare. Menopause care here means bioidentical hormones given as injections, pellets or creams, and she is a certified pellet provider. Hormone care runs as a monthly membership with follow-up visits about every six weeks, and the first hormone consult is billed on its own. The same practice also does GLP-1 weight loss and a direct primary care option, so a patient can have her hormones and her general health looked after in one place. New patients can book online or start with a free wellness call, and some visits can be done by telehealth. Her bio says her recent work includes seeing patients in post-acute care facilities.
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.
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.
