About Bloom OB/GYN
Clare Heintzelman is a nurse practitioner at Bloom OB/GYN, a busy gynecology and obstetrics group in upper Northwest DC, and she handles menopause and midlife care there. Before becoming an NP she spent about six years as a labor and delivery nurse at Sibley Memorial Hospital. The practice treats menopause symptoms with hormone therapy or with non-hormonal medicines for women who can't or would rather not take hormones, and it also watches bone density. Visits are billed to insurance. New patients start with an office visit, and after that routine follow-ups, lab reviews and prescription changes can happen by video. Patient reviews single her out for being patient and unhurried with questions.
