Jessica Yearwood spent nearly 20 years in community emergency medicine around Tacoma before opening this small menopause and midlife practice in Gig Harbor. She writes openly about going through perimenopause herself and about losing her mother to cancer young, and says both shaped how she runs visits. The practice is consultative, so she will not take over primary care or gynecology and expects patients to keep those clinicians for screenings and chronic conditions. First visits run 75 minutes, she reads your intake forms and existing labs beforehand, and she starts treatment at that visit when it fits. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, reaches for FDA approved products first, and will consider compounded hormones when there is a reason to. After that you can do a single consult, book follow-ups as needed, or buy a 12 month package that bundles visits with secure messaging, either in the Gig Harbor office or by video anywhere in Washington.
Suzette Widdison Iverson is a physician assistant who runs her own practice for women in midlife, with menopause care and medical weight loss as its two main services. First visits run up to an hour, and she orders labs first when they would help. She prefers FDA-approved bioidentical hormones, uses compounded formulas only in select cases, and does not use pellets. Visits are by telehealth in Washington and Utah, with in-person visits at her office in downtown Gig Harbor.
