Dr. Banks is a board-certified psychiatrist who treats hormone-related mood and sleep problems alongside her regular psychiatry work. Many of her patients are midlife women who come in for something like ADHD or insomnia, and she looks at what hormones may be adding to it. She orders labs when they are indicated and in many cases prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. She also uses non-drug approaches such as supplements and lifestyle changes, and offers ketamine for some mental health care. Visits run longer than the usual 15 minutes, she keeps her panel small so appointments are not months away, and a new patient evaluation is spread over two to three sessions. Care is in person in Oakland or by video for patients anywhere in California.
Heather Kinder is the board certified nurse practitioner at Optim8 Health and Wellness, a functional medicine clinic in Plano open since 2007. She handles the diagnostic and prescribing side, and the clinic describes her focus as hormone replacement therapy, GLP-1 weight management and medical diagnostics for patients aged 12 and older. New patients start with a two visit program built around a 60 minute history, a testing plan and a written 30 day plan, in person or by video. The clinic runs hormone, adrenal and thyroid panels before deciding whether hormone therapy fits, and it says outright that not everyone wants or needs it. She shares the practice with a naturopath who does the nutrition and lifestyle planning, so a patient may end up seeing both. Refills are not issued through the portal without a recent visit and current lab work, and the clinic says its own measure of success is how little you need it.
Caitlin Givens is one of two providers at Takoma Park Gynecology, a small woman-owned gynecology practice run by nurse-midwives. The practice covers care from adolescence through menopause and beyond, and it does no pregnancy care. A new patient can book with her online, either as a full new patient visit with an exam or as a menopause consultation that is a conversation only. She prescribes FDA-approved hormone therapy, including estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and uses compounded hormones only when a manufactured product is unavailable or a poor fit. Beyond menopause she works in sexual medicine and chronic vulvar conditions, and the practice also handles bone health and prescription weight management. Her interest in women's health began as a Peace Corps volunteer in northern Senegal, and she teaches nurse-midwifery and women's health students at Georgetown.
Jill McEachern runs Dahlia Midlife Health as a solo practice in Guilford and also sees women across Connecticut by telehealth. The practice works only on perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause, and she founded it after seeing women dismissed or left on hormone therapy that was not working. Care starts with a long gynecologic and medical history focused on cycles and symptoms, and she sends patients to Quest for labs when the plan calls for it. She prescribes hormone therapy as patches, gels, sprays, pills, vaginal rings and vaginal estradiol, and will consider compounded bioidentical hormones when she judges it appropriate. For women who cannot or do not want to use hormones she offers fezolinetant, paroxetine, low dose SSRIs and SNRIs, gabapentin and oxybutynin. She also treats genitourinary syndrome of menopause and low libido, offers testosterone support, and will help a patient move off hormone pellets onto menopause hormone therapy because she considers pellets hard to titrate.
Dr. Oberg is a naturopathic doctor who runs a concierge practice from an ocean-view office in La Jolla. She has practiced since 2003 and was the founding medical director of Bastyr University's California campus. Hormone care starts with a symptom and history review and a hormone test, then moves to bioidentical hormones when they fit. She says hormones are not required and may begin with botanical or non-hormone support first. Care runs through fixed-length programs or a year-long membership, with a health coach on the team and a covering doctor when she is away. She also sees patients by video and keeps small offices in Arizona and Washington.
Heat Wave Health is a one clinician telehealth practice for perimenopause, menopause and midlife health, seeing patients in Washington, Illinois and Oregon. Desirae Bloomquist founded it and is the only clinician, so she runs the appointments, reads the labs and answers the secure messages herself. Care runs on a monthly membership with a six month commitment at the start, and there is a lower cost membership later on once treatment has settled. Alongside symptom relief the practice works on bone, heart, cognitive, metabolic and sexual health, and it treats thyroid problems and midlife weight gain, including GLP-1 medication when it fits. There is a separate strand of survivorship care for women after cancer, with hormone decisions made alongside their oncology team. The site is direct about hormone therapy being optional, and says plainly that a woman can get care here without committing to it.
The Lee Clinic was started in 1993 by Megan Lee's father, William Lee, and she took it over after he died in 2020. She grew up hearing him talk about hormones and women in their forties, and she now runs the practice with one nurse practitioner. First visits run a full hour and follow-ups are half an hour, and the clinic does not double book. Estradiol, progesterone and testosterone are the main tools, mostly as FDA-approved products from a regular pharmacy, with compounding used only when a product off the shelf will not do. She will not use testosterone pellets and has written at length about why, pointing to doses that cannot be undone once the pellet is in. The clinic also runs a medical Ideal Protein program, prescribes GLP-1 medications, and treats thyroid problems including Hashimoto's.
Dr. Ward runs a small independent gynecology practice in Fort Myers. She stepped away from obstetrics in 2023 to open it. Menopause care and weight management are two of its main focuses. She is separately board certified in obesity medicine and can manage a weight loss medication alongside hormone therapy. New patients get an hour for a first visit, and there is no membership. Some visits can be done by video when no exam is needed, and a nurse practitioner also sees hormone therapy patients.
Sarah Curtis is a family nurse practitioner at Women's Health Associates, a large OB/GYN and primary care group in Boise and Meridian. Her own bio says her special focus is menopause and transgender care. She came to nurse practice in 2023 after more than 20 years working as a nurse. She sees patients in both the gynecology and primary care sides of the practice, so menopause care can sit alongside routine exams and screening. The group also has its own mammography and treats osteoporosis and bladder leakage in the same office. Visits are billed to insurance.
Dr. Adamchak runs a small direct primary care practice in Ellicottville, the town she grew up in. Menopausal hormone therapy is part of the membership along with the rest of her family medicine care. Members get same or next day visits in person or by video, long appointments, and can text, call or email her directly. She trained and practiced as an Army family physician, including time in Germany and a deployment to Afghanistan, and still serves in the Army Reserves. New enrollments are paused for now, with a contact list for openings in 2027. She can't take anyone on Medicare or eligible for it at this time.
Dr. Lynn founded Evora Women's Health and runs the gynecology side of a small concierge office in Creve Coeur. She is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and in obesity medicine, and she trained as a sexual counselor at Sexual Medicine Associates in Florida. Menopause and sexual health are what she is known for, and her own pages name hormone therapy, chronic pelvic pain and urinary incontinence among the things she manages. First visits last a full hour, and anyone can book a free fifteen minute meeting with her in the office or by video before committing to anything. She shares the office with an internist, an endocrinologist, a psychiatrist, dietitians, trainers and a physical therapist, so a weight loss or pelvic floor plan gets built in one place. She also mentors physicians in other states who want to open concierge practices of their own, and she keeps a small shop of the products she recommends for vaginal dryness.
Dr. Roberson runs a small integrative medicine practice for women in Houston and works mainly as a consultant alongside a patient's own primary care physician. She is a board certified gynecologist and will do a well woman exam with a Pap, and she takes on medical problems when a patient has no other doctor. Natural and lifestyle treatments are considered first in her approach, with standard medical care used when it is needed. She prescribes bio-identical hormones for women who need them, and names estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA as the ones she might recommend. New patient visits are booked for a full hour and the office aims to start them on time, which it compares to the way a spa runs its schedule. She trained for two years in integrative medicine at the University of Arizona under Andrew Weil and also studied mind body medicine at Harvard.
Renea Clowdsley is the only clinician at this small primary care office in Gulf Breeze. Menopause care sits in the same chart as her blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid and weight work. New patients can book a perimenopause evaluation that runs 45 to 60 minutes and includes hormone and vitamin labs, or start with a short free tele-visit. Her hormone page says she picks the patch, gel, injection or other route after a history and labs, and that pellets are not her default. She also says bioidentical is a chemistry term and not a safety guarantee, and that compounding needs a reason. Cancer care is referred and she says she will not override a high-risk history to keep prescribing.
Dr. Haver opened this Galveston clinic in 2021 after repeated requests for in-person appointments from women following her menopause work. Every visit is a one hour consultation covering health history, symptoms, nutrition and whether hormone therapy is a fit. Lab work is done at Quest before the appointment and reviewed by the clinician, and an InBody body composition scan is part of the in-person visit. The visit fee also covers lifetime access to her 'Pause Strong online program and a month of the clinic's own supplements, though prescriptions are bought separately at a pharmacy. The clinic does not do traditional well woman exams, so patients keep their own gynecologist for those. Care is limited to people who live in Texas, and new patients start with a request form the team screens before offering a slot.
Boulder Women's Clinic is an independent gynecology practice in Boulder that stopped delivering babies in 2000 so it could concentrate on gynecologic care. Jennifer Stanzel has been a physician assistant for more than 30 years and joined the clinic in 2006, after starting out in family practice and internal medicine. Her stated interests include menopausal hormone therapy, adolescent gynecology, contraception counseling and management of abnormal Pap smears, and she has about 20 years of experience placing IUDs and Nexplanon implants. The practice treats perimenopausal and postmenopausal symptoms with hormone replacement therapy as well as non-hormonal options, and it also works on bone loss, breast health and cardiovascular health through the transition. It says it is the only gynecology practice in Boulder offering the MonaLisa Touch fractional CO2 laser, which it uses for vaginal dryness, painful sex, repeat infections and urinary incontinence in women who cannot or would rather not use hormones. New patients fill out a paper form before the first visit, and the clinic says its providers can often fit people in the same day or the same week.
Dr. Evans runs a small direct pay primary care clinic in Pensacola with evening and weekend hours. Menopause hormone therapy is one of her main services, alongside disease prevention, sexual health and weight loss. She also sees men, and she does not treat chronic pain. A new patient starts with a longer in-depth visit, either in the clinic or by video if you live in Florida or Iowa. After that, follow-ups can be in the clinic or by video. Insurance is not billed for her visits, though you can use your coverage for lab work or some prescriptions.
Evermore Women's Health is Kristen Wolfe's own clinic and she is the only clinician named on the site. Care runs as a membership with a capped panel of about 200 patients, and most members are seen every four to eight weeks. Before founding Evermore she was clinical director for a national women's health telehealth company, and she says she is most useful to women who have been told elsewhere that their case is too complicated for hormone therapy. She prescribes systemic and vaginal estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and uses non-hormonal drugs such as Addyi and Vyleesi for low desire. Nothing is sold in the office, so there is no supplement line and no proprietary lab panel. She does not do surgery or pregnancy care and refers those out, and she does not manage hormone therapy for gender transition.
A small family practice in north Ames seeing patients from newborns through midlife, with stated expertise in women's health and pediatrics, run by a physician assistant who is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. Care is given in the office and by video, with scheduling and messaging through a patient portal. Perimenopause, menopause, well woman exams and contraception are listed among its services, though the site describes no hormone treatment in detail.
Elektra Health is a virtual menopause practice where every visit happens by video, and each patient is paired with a Menopause Society certified clinician plus a coach for nutrition, exercise and emotional support. Elektra clinicians prescribe FDA-approved hormone therapy and non-hormonal options, and the company says plainly that it does not prescribe compounded or non-FDA-approved medications and does not make money from selling supplements or products. It is also not doing medical weight loss at the moment. Visits are billed to insurance where Elektra is in network, and there is a published cash rate for people who are not. DeLasho has belonged to The Menopause Society since 1994, and she says she moved into telehealth because a routine annual gynecology visit never left enough time to talk about menopause. She is named on Elektra's clinician pages, but the sign-up flow pairs each patient with a clinician rather than letting a new patient choose her.
Dr. Kunkel is a gynecologist who runs her own membership practice for women's health inside Direct Doctors, a physician-only direct care group in East Greenwich. She spent seven and a half years as a general OB/GYN before building a practice around midlife women, and she also holds board certification in obesity medicine. New patients start with a one-time consult of up to an hour, then join her monthly membership, which is required for hormone therapy. Members can reach her directly by text, email and phone. She also treats primary ovarian insufficiency and handles in-office gynecology such as biopsies and IUDs. She began her working life in theater before switching to medicine.
IntimMedicine Specialists is a small Washington DC practice that Dr. Simon founded and still runs as medical director, with two physician assistants who have worked with him since the 1990s. He treats women across the whole reproductive span, and the midlife side of the practice covers menopause and perimenopause, low testosterone, bone loss, sexual pain and sexual function after cancer. His approach to hormones is to balance estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and the practice says most women can use hormone therapy with few risks. For testosterone he will use gels, injections or pellets, and he says he does not treat on lab values alone. Visits happen in the M Street office or by video, and virtual appointments are offered on Saturday mornings as well as weekdays. New patients submit a form or call and the office rings back to finish booking, and because the practice runs its own clinical trials some patients are offered a place in a study.
Cady Brown and her husband Ryan, both internal medicine physicians, started this small concierge primary care office in downtown Lexington in 2018. She holds Menopause Society certification, and the practice lists menopause and hormone therapy in its women's health services alongside everyday internal medicine work like thyroid and heart risk. Membership buys an annual physical that ends in a written wellness plan, plus direct phone, text and email access to her doctor between visits. Care happens in person at the Mill Street office, and virtual visits are used mainly when a member is away from home. The practice has reached the size it wants, so new patients join a waiting list. No pharmaceutical reps are allowed in the office, and there are no nurse practitioners or physician assistants, so members see their own doctor every visit.
Annie August runs a small cash-pay practice in St. Charles focused on perimenopause, menopause, thyroid and weight for midlife women, with video visits for women anywhere in Illinois. Care starts with a short paid Clarity Visit, then a two-part Foundations consultation with a broad lab panel included and a written six-month plan. Women who go ahead join a six-month program for hormone therapy, prescription oversight and portal messaging, then a lower-cost maintenance plan with visits every three months. She prescribes bioidentical hormones and offers compounded options, and GLP-1 medication is available in the weight program. She writes openly about her own early-40s crash, a Hashimoto's diagnosis and losing 50 pounds on hormone therapy. She cannot see anyone on Medicare, even as a paying patient.
Healthy You is a direct care practice Dr. Borensztein opened in Collingswood in 2024, and menopause care sits alongside her thyroid, diabetes and weight work. New patient visits run 60 to 90 minutes and have to be in person at the Collingswood office, after which follow-ups can be virtual. She uses FDA-approved bioidentical estrogen and progesterone, adds testosterone when it is indicated, and offers non-hormonal options for women who cannot or would rather not take hormones. Bone health and cardiovascular risk are handled inside the menopause plan rather than sent elsewhere, and she is also board certified in obesity medicine, so menopause weight change gets treated as a metabolic problem. Members get her direct line for texting and unlimited visits. She went to medical school in Buenos Aires, where her family is from, and speaks Spanish.
