About The 'Pause Wellness

Dr. McCloskey sees patients at The 'Pause Wellness in Galveston, a clinic for women in midlife founded by Dr. Mary Claire Haver, and she is there one day a week. She is a board certified OB-GYN who practiced general obstetrics and gynecology for years and now works only in midlife and menopause care. A first visit lasts a full hour and covers health history, symptoms and goals, with lab work drawn beforehand and a body composition scan in the office. Hormone therapy is part of the conversation with every patient, and the clinic says it follows established guidelines rather than a functional or naturopathic approach. The clinic treats Texas residents only, in person or by video, and it does not do routine well woman exams. Visits include a month of the clinic's own supplements and lifetime access to its online program, and later visits are either short prescription checks or longer reviews with new labs.
