About Avital Healthcare

Kerry Folkman runs a small practice focused only on perimenopause and menopause. Most visits are by video, and she sees patients in person in Brookline about one day a month. The first visit is a full hour and ends with a written treatment plan, and she sends detailed summaries after visits so you don't have to remember everything. She prescribes FDA-approved estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, though testosterone is only available to patients in Massachusetts. She also has a particular interest in how midlife hormone changes affect ADHD, anxiety and depression, and she prescribes GLP-1 medications for weight and metabolic health. Follow-up visits can be paid one at a time or through a package or subscription.
