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.
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.

Kelly Perisin is a nurse practitioner at MyMenopauseRx, a video-only practice that treats nothing but perimenopause and menopause. It was started by a Chicago-area gynecologist and bills insurance like a regular office. Visits take about 30 minutes on Zoom, and you can book the same clinician every time and message the care team between visits. Kelly came to menopause care from weight management and urgent care, and she draws on that when helping women with midlife weight gain. The practice prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone sent to your own pharmacy, and it prescribes testosterone directly only for patients in Illinois. It is meant to work alongside your own primary care doctor, who still handles anything that needs a physical exam.
Vitality is a locally owned clinic in Wenatchee that started out focused on hormones and menopause and has since grown into men's health, weight care and fitness testing. Rachel is the practice's certified menopause provider and uses both hormone and non-hormone treatment for perimenopause and menopause. She came to it from emergency medicine and years of wilderness medicine and outdoor teaching with NOLS, and is a lifelong athlete. Care starts with a long first consultation that includes blood work. Ongoing care is either a membership that covers visits, twice-yearly labs and medications, or pay-per-visit. Visits can be in the office or by video.
Cascade Functional Medicine is the Vancouver practice her father started in 1988, and she joined it in 2008 as his youngest daughter. She leads the functional medicine side, where hormone problems get worked up alongside gut health, micronutrient status and metabolism rather than on their own. Hormone testing here leans on dried urine panels instead of blood, because she wants to see cortisol across the whole day and how estrogen is broken down. When hormones are indicated she has them made by sterile compounding pharmacies, and she runs a supervised weight loss program that tracks body composition so patients on GLP-1 medication keep their muscle. The same office also does aesthetics, FAA flight physicals and immigration exams, so it is a small general practice rather than a menopause-only clinic. Refills need an office visit, the office will not take refill requests from a pharmacy, and a card is kept on file for late cancellations.
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. 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.
