About Missy Garavente MD LLC
Dr. Garavente runs a small solo menopause practice with offices in Timonium and Ellicott City, each open one day a week by appointment. She started it in 2018 after going through menopause symptoms herself, and she worked as an orthopedic physical therapist before medical school. She sees women in perimenopause and well beyond it, and says women over 60 are one of her favorite groups to treat. Hormone options include estrogen, progesterone and testosterone as creams, patches, pills or pellets, along with non-hormonal choices and GLP-1 weight care. She does not do well-woman exams, so you will need your own gynecologist for routine screening.
