About Montana Hormone Clinic

Melissa Lopez runs Montana Hormone Clinic in Billings on her own, treating women in perimenopause and menopause along with some men. Care starts with a short visit for fasting labs and a body composition scan, followed a week later by a 90-minute visit to build the plan. Most patients then follow a six-month program with check-ins about every six weeks before moving to a maintenance membership. She uses adjustable bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, sometimes adds thyroid support, and does not use pellets. She also treats surgical menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency and women with a history of breast cancer. She has been through menopause herself and worked in labor and delivery before focusing on midlife hormones.
