About Ascent Healthcare
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.
