Dr. Ayoub is an endocrinologist with her own small practice in Redondo Beach, and she also sees patients by telehealth anywhere in California. For hormone therapy she prescribes estrogen and progesterone, adds testosterone when it fits, and uses FDA-approved bioidentical products. She also offers non-hormonal options for women who would rather not take hormones. First visits take a full hour and follow-ups take half an hour, and you can message her directly between visits. Because she is an endocrinologist, she treats thyroid disease, bone loss and weight alongside menopause, including GLP-1 medication. She says she works especially with patients who were told their labs were normal while their symptoms went on.
Ashley Hooker is the founder and the only provider at Performance Hormone Health, a concierge hormone clinic in Winston-Salem that treats women and men. Women's care runs through a dedicated hormone therapy service that works on estrogen, progesterone and sometimes testosterone, and every plan is built from the patient's own labs, symptoms and goals. The pathway starts with a short introductory consultation, then an intake assessment with baseline labs, then a monthly membership that covers follow-up labs, routine visits and unlimited messaging with the provider. Most of the process can be done remotely by phone or video with labs drawn at a nearby Quest location, and patients local to Winston-Salem can be seen in the office. The practice refuses hormone pellets outright, arguing on its FAQ that pellets cannot be adjusted once inserted and that the professional societies do not recommend them, and it prescribes injectable, transdermal and oral forms instead. It also declines to prescribe GLP-1 weight drugs, and many women's prescriptions are filled through a compounding pharmacy rather than bundled into the membership.
Angela Katzer is the functional medicine provider at the AdventHealth Whole Health Institute, a small integrative clinic in south Overland Park that also has a naturopathic doctor, a dietitian and an acupuncturist. Her service line lists hormone replacement therapy and natural hormone balancing alongside menopausal symptoms, thyroid management and hormone imbalances. Visits are long, with an hour for a new patient and half an hour for follow ups. She has been an advanced practice registered nurse since 2006 and is certified by the Institute for Functional Medicine. She trained as a personal trainer too, and her bio singles out fitness during menopause as something she studied on purpose. The clinic runs a free fifteen minute call first so you can work out whether functional medicine is what you want.
Yinka Sokunbi is a certified nurse midwife who runs a small cash-pay women's health practice with offices in McKinney and Frisco. Most menopause care happens by video for Texas residents, with labs ordered to a nearby lab and prescriptions sent to your pharmacy. She prescribes FDA-approved hormone therapy and also compounded formulations, and plans ahead for bone health with referrals for bone density scans. New patients fill out intake questionnaires before the first visit, and the final fee is set after she reviews them. She started the practice after growing frustrated with how little time insurance-driven clinics allowed with patients. She trained in nursing and midwifery in the United Kingdom and now also teaches at Thomas Jefferson University.
Highland Hills Aesthetics is a two provider medical aesthetics clinic in Baton Rouge that runs a hormone and metabolic program alongside its injectable and skin work. Hormone care starts with a one hour consultation covering medical history, current symptoms and weight history, and a full lab panel is drawn at that visit. Patients come back one to two weeks later for a visit where a provider goes through the results and writes the plan, then return every three to six months for monitoring and dose changes. The clinic prescribes hormone replacement and also inserts hormone pellets for women, which has to be booked over the phone because the consultation and labs have to come first. Lato spent eight years in family medicine working on metabolic health, hormone replacement, thyroid disorders, PCOS and weight management before she moved into aesthetic medicine in 2023, and she began her career in critical care nursing. Her co-owner Brittany Lipoma is a physician assistant who also does hormone replacement therapy, so a patient may see either of them.
Dr. Jordens runs a small practice for women in midlife and is also board certified in obesity medicine, so weight and metabolic health come up alongside hormones. The first visit is a full hour, follow-ups run 45 minutes, and ongoing care is a six-month membership with messaging through a patient portal. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and sometimes testosterone in standard forms like patches, gels and pills. She treats vaginal estrogen as first-line for dryness and offers non-hormonal options like fezolinetant for women who can't or don't want to take hormones. She says there is no set age limit for staying on hormone therapy and reviews the plan each year. This is specialty care, not a replacement for your primary care doctor, and there is a free discovery call before you book.
Dr. Allison runs a small telemedicine practice for women in perimenopause and menopause. She spent 14 years as an emergency physician before moving into midlife women's care. She prescribes FDA approved hormone therapy and testosterone, and offers non-hormonal medicines for women who can't or won't take hormones. New patients fill out long history forms first, then have a 75 minute first visit and a short check-in two weeks later. She also covers bone health, breast cancer risk and prevention planning. She does not replace your primary care doctor or gynecologist, and she expects you to keep them.
Dr. Menn is an OB/GYN who sees menopause patients only by video, and only women living in New York, Connecticut, Vermont or Florida. She survived breast cancer more than 20 years ago, went through premature menopause herself and carries a BRCA mutation. A lot of her practice is breast cancer survivors and BRCA carriers who want help with menopause symptoms and hormone questions. The first visit is an hour long, covering your history and a risk check for heart, breast and bone health, and it ends with a written plan that may include hormone therapy, vaginal hormones or non-hormonal medicine. New patients email the office first and are then told which visit to book. She works alongside your own gynecologist or oncologist rather than replacing them.
Dr. Strand spent years as a full-time emergency physician before opening this direct-pay clinic in Lacey in 2021. The practice treats men and women, and menopause care sits alongside testosterone therapy, weight loss and thyroid care. Care starts with a paid evaluation that bundles Labcorp lab work with a 60 to 90 minute visit, then moves to a month-to-month membership with unlimited messaging. Hormone plans can combine estradiol, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA, and medications are passed through at pharmacy cost. Visits happen in the Lacey office or by video anywhere in Washington, and most follow-ups are by video. The practice does not see anyone on Medicare, so women 65 and older cannot join.
Dr. Caravelli is a family medicine physician who runs a small telehealth practice for women in perimenopause and menopause anywhere in Illinois. Care starts with an hour-long first visit, then labs, then a second visit to go over results and build a plan. Anyone who wants ongoing prescriptions, including hormone therapy, joins a monthly membership with quarterly visits and direct messaging with her. She also treats weight and metabolic changes and prescribes GLP-1 medications when they fit. Before starting the practice she was a regional medical director for a national healthcare company, and she teaches as an adjunct clinical professor at the osteopathic school where she trained. She is clear that she is not a primary care doctor, so patients keep their own physician for everything else.
Stephanie Martinez runs Prime Optimal Health, a small practice in the Belton and Temple area of Central Texas. She sees women by telehealth in Texas, Colorado, Montana and New Mexico, and offers some in-person care locally. New patients can start with a free discovery call, then a 45 to 60 minute midlife consultation. You can stop at an assessment and plan, or choose a short program or a 90-day program that starts hormone therapy and follows up as you adjust, and established patients can move to a monthly membership. She came to menopause care from urgent care, where she kept meeting tired, struggling patients who had been told their labs looked normal.
Olive Tree Medical is a small concierge practice in Wellesley run by two women physicians who keep the panel to a few hundred patients. Dr. Walkey is a primary care internist who is also board certified in lifestyle medicine, and she became a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner in 2024 to focus on women's health in midlife. Membership covers a long annual exam and a schedule of follow-up visits, with a lot of care happening by phone, text, email and video in between. Health coaching, nutrition consults, fitness testing and stress management are folded into membership rather than billed on their own. Walkey was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020 and says it pushed her toward the prevention and lifestyle work she now does with patients. New members start with a free in-person meet and greet, and places are limited, so the practice adds people to a waiting list once it fills.
Elizabeth Buisker is a family medicine physician in Bozeman who has also worked as a health system executive. She built this practice after her own perimenopause took her nearly two years to work out, despite being a physician herself. The first visit is a long history review with no prescribing attached, and from there patients can move into a six month program that covers lab review, prescriptions and messaging between visits. After that people come back annually or as needed to adjust the plan and refill medication. She prescribes hormone therapy but writes that it works best alongside strength training, sleep and nutrition, calling hormones the floor and lifestyle the ceiling. She is blunt about the wellness industry and says it filled the gap with endless supplements and specialty labs that feel real but often lack the science.
Marea MD is a solo, membership-based family medicine practice in central and east San Diego run by Dr. Joyce Ildesa, who pairs primary care with menopause and perimenopause care. Members get thirty to sixty minute visits, direct text, call and email access to the physician, same or next-day response for urgent concerns, and discounted cash-pay labs, with the panel deliberately kept small. Menopause care sticks to evidence-based and FDA-approved treatment. She prescribes hormone therapy when appropriate plus non-hormonal options, and explicitly does not routinely use compounded bioidentical formulations. Menopause care is integrated with bone, cardiovascular and metabolic screening, and new patients start with a free fifteen-minute introductory video call.
Marissa runs a solo cash-pay telehealth practice based in Santa Fe and sees women from their mid-30s onward for perimenopause and menopause care anywhere in New Mexico. Care starts with an hour-long first visit and then shorter follow-ups every few months until treatment is stable, with portal messaging in between. She mostly prescribes FDA-approved bioidentical estradiol and progesterone that any local pharmacy can fill, and says most women will not need a compounding pharmacy. She does not order a standard lab panel for everyone and often decides on hormones from symptoms and history alone. She wants mammograms up to date before hormone therapy starts, and she also prescribes testosterone for low desire and non-hormonal options when hormones are not a fit.
Misra Wellness is a virtual-first membership practice led by Dr. Misra, with an office in Los Angeles and visits for patients in California and New York. There is no online calendar, so a new patient starts with a free 15-minute call to see if it is a good fit, then a first consult. Menopause and hormone care sits inside the main primary care membership, so the same visits and direct messaging also cover thyroid, weight and other midlife concerns. She offers hormone therapy when it is clinically appropriate after an evaluation. She writes about perimenopause mood swings and a wired, on-edge feeling as hormonal changes and not simply stress, and she offers a 90-minute visit for symptoms that overlap. Current members get priority, so a new patient may wait for an opening.
Diana Kumar is a board certified OB-GYN who co-founded Gliss Wellness, a virtual practice built around perimenopause and menopause. All care happens by video and secure messaging, so there is no office to visit. A menopause visit runs about 30 minutes and ends with a plan and prescriptions for an initial three month period, followed by a check-in visit before refills continue for the rest of the year. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits, can order labs and scans, and sends prescriptions to the patient's own pharmacy. She also sees women for weight counseling and for urgent gynecology problems handled through a short written form. Her stated areas of interest are PCOS, sexual dysfunction, bone health and longevity medicine.
Midlife Wellness is a solo, consultation-only telehealth practice run by Lisa Gay from St. Croix, seeing women in the US Virgin Islands only. It is explicitly a complement to a patient's primary care provider or gynecologist and does not provide primary care or general gynecology. Visits are long, with an hour for the first one, and cover both hormonal and non-hormonal options. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid hormone are prescribed when clinically appropriate, but the practice does not place hormone pellets and asks women on pellet therapy to book a full initial evaluation rather than a transfer visit. Follow-up runs six to twelve weeks after starting treatment, then every six to twelve months once a regimen is settled.
Dr. Noor is a family physician who spent years in primary care, hospice and elderly care before her own perimenopause, which she first mistook for long COVID, led her into menopause medicine. Her Exeter practice is cash-pay and built around yearlong memberships, with a registered dietitian and a mindfulness coach on the team alongside her. Bone health is a particular focus, and an in-house DEXA scanner checks the spine, both hips and a forearm along with a trabecular bone score. She practices evidence-based hormone therapy and says plainly that she does not offer hormone balancing or hormone supplements. The practice does not do general primary care outside its top concierge tier. New memberships and new patient consultations are paused for now, and new patients join a waitlist.
Lauren Lockwood runs a solo virtual practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, and she also cares for women through pregnancy and postpartum. Care starts with a short introductory video call, then a one hour first visit that goes through health history, labs, symptoms and daily routines. She can prescribe medication including hormone therapy, order labs and imaging, and refer out to other clinicians when needed. Hormones are treated as one part of a plan that also covers nutrition, movement, sleep and stress, alongside functional lab testing and professional grade supplements. Half hour follow-ups keep the plan moving as new labs come back. Because every visit is virtual she asks patients to keep their own primary care provider or gynecologist, and she also runs workshops and educational events through the practice community.
Dr. Varys is a family and lifestyle medicine doctor at Carytown Direct Primary Care, a membership practice in Richmond that she opened with her husband, who is also a family physician. She names women's health and menopause care, weight loss medicine and pediatrics as her main interests, and she sees patients of all ages. The practice treats low estrogen in women with hormone therapy and also prescribes weight loss medication. Members get unlimited visits and can call or text their doctor directly, with same or next day appointments. IUD insertions and a few other procedures are done in the office. She went to medical school in Prague and says she opened the practice because care should be a real conversation rather than a rushed appointment.
New England Medicine is a small direct primary care practice in Wellesley Hills run by Dr. Leland Hull, an internist who sees adults 18 and older. Patients pay a yearly membership instead of having visits billed to insurance, which buys longer visits when needed, virtual care and a way to reach her between appointments. Menopause care is part of her everyday primary care rather than a separate hormone clinic, so she can also be your regular doctor. Before opening the practice she spent years in academic medicine and research at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard, much of it on preventive genetics. New patients start with a short video meet and greet before deciding whether to join.
Alisha Ghajar is a naturopathic doctor who sees women in perimenopause and menopause from an office in Seattle, and by video for anyone living in Washington. Washington lets naturopaths prescribe, and she does prescribe hormone therapy, though she also runs a hormone-free track of food, movement, stress work and herbs for women who cannot or would rather not use hormones. First visits run 60 to 90 minutes, and you fill out long health questionnaires and upload past lab results before you come in. Once a woman is past menopause she shifts the focus to long-term risk, naming osteoporosis, heart disease and type 2 diabetes as what she wants to head off. Weight and body composition are a large part of the practice, and she will use weight-loss medication when nutrition and training are not enough. She does not work as a primary care doctor and asks every patient to keep their own PCP for anything outside her focus.
Kristen founded Harmony Health Partners after decades as a women's health nurse practitioner, and she wrote openly about leaving rushed, insurance-driven care to build it. The practice is mostly telehealth for Connecticut patients, with limited in-person visits at an office inside a physical therapy clinic in Gales Ferry. Every new patient starts with a 60-minute Blueprint visit, and labs are ordered before it so the first appointment is spent on results and a plan. She prescribes bioidentical estradiol, progesterone and testosterone, and also treats weight gain, insulin resistance, thyroid problems, PCOS and PMDD. She works alongside two other nurse practitioners, one focused on cancer survivors and one on autoimmune and joint conditions, and coordinates care with them when symptoms overlap.
