Menopause Society Certified Practitioners in Washington
187 practitioners have an office in Washington, and 111 more can see patients here by telehealth. 192 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Seattle, Vancouver and Olympia.
Dr. Patil-Sisodia runs a direct care practice in Redmond built around a single physician, for women moving through perimenopause and menopause. She trained in internal medicine and endocrinology and is also board certified in obesity medicine, so hormones, metabolism and weight sit with one doctor instead of three. New patients start with a 60 minute consultation that reviews their history, outside records and labs, and that fee covers 30 days of portal follow up for results and treatment changes. She prescribes hormone therapy where it fits and pairs it with nutrition and movement plans, keeping an eye on bone and heart health over the long run. She also offers a standalone second opinion visit that ends in a written report for the patient and their referring doctor, with no prescriptions or lab orders attached. Visits are in the Redmond office or by video for patients physically located in Washington or California, and the practice does not bill insurance.

Hala Taylor is a family nurse practitioner who leads hormone therapy at Tacoma Integrative Psychiatry, a psychiatry practice in University Place. The team treats mood, sleep and hormone changes together, so menopause care sits right next to psychiatric care. Hormone therapy can include estrogen, progesterone or testosterone, given by mouth, patch or on the skin, and is adjusted to how you respond. Before this role she worked as a nurse in labor and delivery and emergency medicine, and she is now training as a psychiatric nurse practitioner. First visits last 60 minutes and can be in person or by video anywhere in Washington. New patients fill out an online request form and the office calls to schedule.
Dr. McKenzie is a naturopathic physician running a solo primary care practice in Kirkland, with menopause and sexual health at its center. She treats menopause symptoms with hormone therapy taken by mouth, through the skin or vaginally, and also prescribes testosterone for women after checking blood levels first. She is also a certified sex counselor, so painful sex, low desire and pelvic floor problems get as much attention as hot flashes. New patients are seen in the office for a full intake, and video visits are used afterward for lab reviews and medication check-ins. The practice runs a program on sex and intimacy after cancer and offers vaginal laser treatment for dryness after menopause.
MauveMD is a small practice run by Dr. Scanlon that sees only women in perimenopause and menopause. Visits run longer than a usual gynecology appointment and happen in her Bellingham office or by video. She prescribes FDA-approved estrogen, progesterone and testosterone and uses compounded hormones only when no approved option exists. She does not offer pellets. She also runs a non-hormonal track for breast cancer survivors and can coordinate with your oncology team. This is consult care that does not replace your primary care doctor, and new patients often wait four weeks or more, with a waitlist for earlier openings.
Dr. Strand spent years as a full-time emergency physician before opening this direct-pay clinic in Lacey in 2021. The practice treats men and women, and menopause care sits alongside testosterone therapy, weight loss and thyroid care. Care starts with a paid evaluation that bundles Labcorp lab work with a 60 to 90 minute visit, then moves to a month-to-month membership with unlimited messaging. Hormone plans can combine estradiol, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA, and medications are passed through at pharmacy cost. Visits happen in the Lacey office or by video anywhere in Washington, and most follow-ups are by video. The practice does not see anyone on Medicare, so women 65 and older cannot join.
Alisha Ghajar is a naturopathic doctor who sees women in perimenopause and menopause from an office in Seattle, and by video for anyone living in Washington. Washington lets naturopaths prescribe, and she does prescribe hormone therapy, though she also runs a hormone-free track of food, movement, stress work and herbs for women who cannot or would rather not use hormones. First visits run 60 to 90 minutes, and you fill out long health questionnaires and upload past lab results before you come in. Once a woman is past menopause she shifts the focus to long-term risk, naming osteoporosis, heart disease and type 2 diabetes as what she wants to head off. Weight and body composition are a large part of the practice, and she will use weight-loss medication when nutrition and training are not enough. She does not work as a primary care doctor and asks every patient to keep their own PCP for anything outside her focus.
Ashley Winter is a urologist and sexual medicine specialist at Dr. Rachel Rubin's practice, seeing patients in Pasadena inside a pelvic physical therapy center. She treats perimenopause and menopause with hormone therapy and prescribes testosterone for women as well as men. She speaks out often for vaginal estrogen to protect the urinary tract, so she is a strong fit when recurrent UTIs, dryness or painful sex are part of the picture. New patient visits run an hour and a half to two hours, and follow-ups can be done by video. New patients join an interest list first, and the wait for her Los Angeles area schedule is shorter than for the practice's Maryland office. The practice prescribes FDA-approved treatments unless no approved option exists.

Dr. Martell runs a solo practice by video for women in Oregon, Washington, California and Arizona. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and she also prescribes GLP-1 medications for women who want help with weight and metabolic health. New patients start with an hour-long consult and then book shorter follow-ups as needed. She is also trained as a naturopathic oncologist and sees many women during and after cancer treatment. She writes openly about her own Hashimoto's and osteopenia, and thyroid care is a regular part of her work. A free ten-minute phone call is offered before you book.
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.

MyMenopauseRx is a virtual menopause practice founded by a gynecologist, and Krantz is one of about a dozen clinicians a patient can pick from. Visits are video appointments of about thirty minutes, and most patients come back every eight to twelve weeks until their symptoms settle. She prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone rather than compounded hormones, and the practice is clear that it works alongside a patient's own primary care doctor rather than replacing it. Testosterone is written only for patients located in Illinois, and everyone else gets the prescription from their own doctor while the practice manages the dosing. Krantz has practiced for more than thirty years in university, HMO, community health and telehealth settings, and she completed the integrative medicine fellowship at the University of Arizona with training in medical acupuncture. She works from Oregon and says she has aged alongside her patients, which is how menopause care became her emphasis.

Toun Sogbein is a women's health nurse practitioner with Visana Health, a women's health practice that works entirely by video out of Minneapolis. She handles menopause and perimenopause along with the gynecological and sexual health problems that often sit alongside them, and she came to this work from public health clinics and a community health degree. First visits run 45 minutes, and patients stay with the same provider and can message the care team through the patient portal between visits. Visana's menopause care follows protocols written by Dr. Barbara Levy, and a patient can go the hormone route or a non-hormonal one after talking it through. Labs and imaging get ordered near home when they are needed, and optional health coaching covers food and exercise for anyone who wants that support. Many patients reach Visana through an employer or health plan, and the site has a start page where you look up yours.
Dr. Bonza is a family physician who runs a small menopause and perimenopause practice in Upper Arlington, seeing women in person or by video. Care starts with a broad lab panel ordered before you meet, then a 50-minute visit to go through the results and build a plan. The one consultation fee covers a full year of follow-up, including text access to her through a patient portal, repeat labs and medication changes. She prescribes FDA-approved hormone therapy and also treats with testosterone, thyroid support and weight medication for women who qualify. She came to this work after her own symptoms in her 40s were brushed off by other doctors. She does not act as a primary care doctor, so you keep your own for everything else.
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.
Prévant Health is Erin Phamvan's own virtual practice, and every visit happens by video. It runs as a 12-month membership with a long first visit, quarterly follow-ups, and texting with Erin between visits. Menopause care is built around detailed lab work and shared decisions about hormones, alongside thyroid, heart and metabolic care. She is also trained in an Alzheimer's prevention program and folds brain-health risk into her plans. Although the mailing address is in Nashville, the practice currently sees patients only in a set of other states, and Tennessee is not one of them. You keep your own primary care provider for in-person exams and urgent needs.

Dr. Benkley is a naturopathic doctor whose practice centers on perimenopause and menopause. She sees patients in person at Mandala Medicine and Wellness in southeast Portland and by video anywhere in Oregon, Washington and New Hampshire. The first visit is a long intake followed by labs. She lays out the full treatment plan at a follow-up about four weeks later. Treatment can include menopausal hormone therapy, non-hormonal medications, supplements and lifestyle changes, with attention to long-term heart and bone health. She does not do primary care, and her practice openly welcomes queer, non-binary and trans patients with ovaries.
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.
Bold Wellness is Torrie Clontz's own virtual practice for women in midlife, run from Las Vegas and open to patients in about fifteen states. Care starts with a two visit intake that includes a wide blood panel drawn at a lab near you and a follow up to go through the results and set a plan. After that most patients stay on a monthly membership that covers prescription changes and messaging with her through the patient portal. Alongside hormone therapy she runs a weight and metabolic program using GLP-1 medication, and she adds functional tests such as gut, cortisol and vaginal microbiome panels when they fit. She is clear that she is not a primary care provider or an OB-GYN, so patients need to keep their own and see her for the hormone and midlife side. Her own hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos diagnosis, which came after a circus career ended in injury, is why she started the practice and she treats that alongside hormones.
Dr. Allison runs a small telemedicine practice for women in perimenopause and menopause. She spent 14 years as an emergency physician before moving into midlife women's care. She prescribes FDA approved hormone therapy and testosterone, and offers non-hormonal medicines for women who can't or won't take hormones. New patients fill out long history forms first, then have a 75 minute first visit and a short check-in two weeks later. She also covers bone health, breast cancer risk and prevention planning. She does not replace your primary care doctor or gynecologist, and she expects you to keep them.
Marissa runs a solo cash-pay telehealth practice based in Santa Fe and sees women from their mid-30s onward for perimenopause and menopause care anywhere in New Mexico. Care starts with an hour-long first visit and then shorter follow-ups every few months until treatment is stable, with portal messaging in between. She mostly prescribes FDA-approved bioidentical estradiol and progesterone that any local pharmacy can fill, and says most women will not need a compounding pharmacy. She does not order a standard lab panel for everyone and often decides on hormones from symptoms and history alone. She wants mammograms up to date before hormone therapy starts, and she also prescribes testosterone for low desire and non-hormonal options when hormones are not a fit.
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.
Vanessa Weiland runs a small Washington clinic focused on perimenopause, menopause and sexual health. She sees patients in person in Shoreline and North Bend and by video anywhere in the state. Care comes as four-month programs rather than single visits, each starting with an hour-long first visit and including messaging between appointments. She prescribes hormone therapy, including testosterone for low desire after menopause, and also uses non-hormonal treatments. She lives with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome herself and sees women whose EDS, mast cell or POTS symptoms flare around menopause. She is also a trained clinical hypnotherapist and uses it for hot flashes and sleep.

Morghan Milagrosa is a women's health nurse practitioner and nurse midwife at Chinn GYN, a small all-female practice in Mount Vernon run with gynecologic surgeon Dr. Melissa Chinn. She treats menopause as part of whole-body primary and gynecologic care, prescribing hormone therapy in many forms and adjusting the dose over follow-up visits. New patients start with a single exploratory visit to meet her, and ongoing medical care then requires the practice's concierge membership. The practice does not bill insurance, but it gives patients the paperwork to seek reimbursement themselves. Her bio says she also focuses on obesity, disordered eating and substance use, and she has taught in university programs in three states. Video visits are available for some appointments, and established patients can reach a provider after hours.
Dr. Towolawi runs a direct primary care practice in Shoreline, but her primary care panel is full, so new menopause patients see her through a separate telehealth service. Visits are by video for women in the states she covers. Care starts with an hour-long first visit, and shorter follow-ups are booked as needed. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits and pairs it with lifestyle medicine coaching on nutrition and supplements, with secure messaging between visits. She is also board certified in lifestyle medicine. She is perimenopausal herself and speaks openly about women, especially women of color, being dismissed when they raise their symptoms.
Dr. Parker is a naturopathic physician in Bellevue who has focused on hormone therapy for women in perimenopause and menopause for about ten years. Many women come to her for a second or third opinion on a hormone plan that isn't working. She prescribes bioidentical hormones with a strong preference for FDA-approved products, and she won't use pellets but does help women recovering from pellets given elsewhere. Her visits happen by video for patients in Washington, and new patients stop by the clinic so staff can take vitals and body composition, with in-person visits also offered in Friday Harbor. She is not a primary care doctor and wants every patient to keep one. New patients currently join a waitlist, with openings listed for spring 2027.
