About St. Elizabeth Physicians Women's Health
Abby Loftus-Smith is an OB-GYN with St. Elizabeth Physicians in northern Kentucky. The system's menopause page names her as one of three certified menopause doctors on its team, and she sees patients at the Newport office as well as the Burlington and Florence women's health offices. New patients can book online or by phone, though video visits are kept for patients she already sees, so a first appointment is in person. On hormones the team is explicit about its limits. It offers only FDA-approved treatment and says it does not use hormone pellets or non-approved therapies, so the options are estrogen and progesterone, vaginal estrogen, and non-hormonal medication such as SSRIs for hot flashes. Her wider gynecology practice covers adolescent care, fertility and infertility, PCOS, and minimally invasive and robotic surgery.
