Erica Kesselman has been on the medical staff at Day Kimball Hospital in Putnam since 2002 and practises with the Day Kimball Medical Group OB/GYN office on that campus. The group's service list runs from annual exams and maternity care through menopause management, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and in-office procedures, and the same practice has a second office in Plainfield. Day Kimball lists Dr. Kesselman's own professional interests as pediatric and adolescent gynecology and sexual dysfunction. The hospital's provider directory badges the OB/GYN colleagues at that office as accepting new patients and carries no such badge for Dr. Kesselman, so a new patient may be routed to a colleague. Most of what Dr. Kesselman publishes personally is health education rather than practice information, including two monthly video libraries, one on sex and one on menopause, which the site says are not medical advice. Dr. Kesselman also teaches sex education in local middle and high schools and was a regular voice on a Putnam radio morning show for more than ten years.
Associates for Women's Medicine is an obstetrics and gynecology group with sixteen clinicians and three offices around Syracuse. Dr. Auerbach joined in 2013 and is a partner and owner, and she chairs obstetrics and gynecology at St. Joseph's Hospital. Her own page says her practice is now limited to gynecology with a focus on perimenopausal and menopausal women, and on minimally invasive surgery. She performs both robotic and laparoscopic operations, and the group has its own accredited surgical suite in Fayetteville plus an in-house laboratory. Each provider has a personal video visit link on the website, so a telehealth appointment goes straight to her own virtual room. The group's menopause page explains hormone therapy and non-hormonal options as general background rather than saying what the practice itself prescribes.
Dr. Pollycove runs a solo integrative gynecology practice in San Francisco and sees women from adolescence into their eighties. Menopause is the center of the practice, and hormone therapy is prescribed using oral estrogen, estradiol patches, gels and sprays, with natural progesterone for women who still have a uterus. New patient visits are booked for a full hour, and phone appointments are offered and charged like office visits. Several pages of the site argue that news coverage of the 2002 Women's Health Initiative frightened women away from estrogen that would have helped them. Breast care is the other long-running interest, and ongoing cancer survivor care is named among the services. Gynecologic surgery is no longer performed after twenty years of it, and patients needing surgery are referred to other surgeons while Dr. Pollycove stays involved in the counseling and recovery.
Dr. Sharma runs a small direct primary care practice in north Wilmington, seeing patients 13 and up on a monthly membership rather than billing insurance. Women's health is her stated focus, from menstrual problems and fertility through postpartum and menopause including hormone therapy, alongside ordinary primary care for thyroid disease, diabetes and blood pressure. The first visit runs about 90 minutes and ends with a care plan, and after that members reach her directly by text, phone, video or office visit, with same or next day openings. She trained in family medicine, then did an integrative medicine fellowship at the Andrew Weil Center, and she works on nutrition, sleep, movement and stress first, using prescriptions, herbs and supplements as needed. Her yoga and Ayurveda training shapes a lot of that, and the membership includes workshops and cooking classes for families. The patient panel is full right now, so new patients sign up to be told when appointments open.
Dr. Balderston sees patients at Gyn Wellness Center, a gynecology only practice with four offices around Hampton Roads, and her office is the First Colonial one in Virginia Beach. She moved there from Coastal Gynecology, which no longer lists her. Her own page puts the menopausal transition, hormone therapy and sexual health at the center of her work, and she is the only clinician at the practice who holds the Menopause Society certification. She is also the practice's surgeon, and the site says she is one of the first providers in the region to offer vNOTES, a vaginal procedure it says brings less pain and a faster recovery. New patients are usually seen within two days, and a video visit can be booked as a first appointment. The practice made a point of starting to take Medicaid because most gynecologists in the area do not.
Takes Medicare Advantage, United Health Medicare Advantage
Women First of Louisville is an all-female OB/GYN group that has been in the Baptist Health medical pavilion since 1988, and Dr. Grider joined it in 1998. She still practices obstetrics alongside gynecology, so her patients run from teenagers on contraception through pregnancy and into the menopause transition. What she says she enjoys most in midlife care is walking a woman through the pros and cons of hormone therapy so the choice is her own. The practice is openly cautious about compounded bioidentical hormones and makes the point that plenty of prescription bioidenticals are not compounded at all. Hormones are prescribed as pills, patches, gels, sprays and vaginal products, and bone density screening and blood draws happen in the office. Visits are in person at the single Louisville location, you reach her care team on a direct weekday line or through the FollowMyHealth portal, and she also handles the practice's minimally invasive and robotic surgery.
Advocare Center for Specialized Gynecology is a Voorhees practice that gave up obstetrics to work in gynecology only. Three board certified gynecologists, a physician assistant and a dietitian see patients at the one office, and the group has a long standing subspecialty in pediatric and adolescent gynecology. Minor surgical work is done in the office, including IUD insertion, colposcopy and endometrial biopsy, and the practice operates at Virtua Voorhees and Summit Surgical Center. The site keeps a menopause page, but it is a reading list of general handouts rather than an account of care the practice gives. Dr. Gorlitsky trained at Temple, finished a residency at Pennsylvania Hospital and has worked as a gynecologist in South Jersey since 2003, and the bio the practice publishes names no treatments.
Anita Stewart is a family medicine physician who sees gynecology patients at a WVU Medicine clinic in Summersville. Her own provider page lists menopause among the conditions she treats, along with heavy or irregular periods, painful sex and bladder leakage. She also does office procedures such as IUD and Nexplanon placement and tubal ligation. She holds a second clinic at the Nicholas County Health Department and serves as the local public health officer. Her board certification is in osteopathic manipulative medicine, so hands-on treatment is part of how she practices. WVU Medicine publishes nothing about what she prescribes for menopause, so that part of her care is unknown.
Dr. Andarcia is an internal medicine physician who trained in integrative and functional medicine, including the Andrew Weil fellowship at the University of Arizona. Her work centers on women's hormones, from perimenopause through menopause, and she also sees men. Visits start with testing and a look at root causes such as sleep, stress, gut health and nutrition before hormones are added. When hormones are used, she offers creams and gels, oral or sublingual forms, injections and pellets. She also prescribes testosterone for women with low libido and offers GLP-1 medication for weight. The practice sits inside a larger integrative and fitness center in Sarasota that does not bill insurance.
Aimee Feste is a nurse midwife at MAHEC Ob/Gyn Specialists, an academic teaching practice in Asheville where Ob/Gyn residents train alongside the faculty. Her provider bio says she cares for women from their first period until after menopause, plus the health events in between. She also works in the practice's Center for Pelvic and Vulvar Health, which she joined in 2020 when a longtime colleague retired, and there she sees patients with vulvar skin conditions and genital pain. Vulvar clinic patients get a call from clinical staff in the month before a first visit to go over health history and what they want from the appointment. New gynecology patients fill out an intake packet for their office, and visits are booked by phone because MAHEC's online self-scheduling only covers its family medicine patients. MAHEC discounts care by family size and income for patients who cannot pay in full.
Paul Littman is the founder and only physician at Advanced Women's Health NJ, a urogynecology practice running out of offices in Sparta and Wayne. The practice grew out of years of hearing women told that leaking, prolapse and bladder changes were simply part of getting older, and it treats them as fixable instead. Menopause care sits alongside that rather than being a sideline, and the site calls hormone therapy a focused area of this clinician's work. Two nurse practitioners see patients here as well, and one of them handles breast and ovarian cancer risk assessment. A year-round menopause membership called the Vitality Program is announced on the site but has not opened yet, so women can only join a waitlist for now. Most of that program is built to run by video, with the Sparta office available when a patient wants to be seen in person.
Women's Healthcare Physicians of Naples is a ten-provider obstetrics and gynecology group with three Naples offices. Cavin trained as a physician assistant at Nova Southeastern University and grew up in Naples, so she practices in her hometown. Her own page gives her areas as general adolescent and adult gynecology and basic obstetrics, and she holds staff privileges at Naples Community Hospital and North Collier Hospital. The group's menopause page describes hormone therapy for the practice as a whole and names no individual provider, so nothing on the site says that work is hers. A new patient can request an appointment with her by name through the site's appointment form. The practice bills insurance and sets self-pay charges from its own fee schedule.
Takes Partnership HealthPlan of California (Medi-Cal managed care)
Churn Creek Healthcare is a tribal health clinic in Redding and part of the Redding Rancheria Tribal Health System, and Cooper is one of its family practice clinicians. It opened in 2015 and serves Native American and non-Native patients across Shasta County and Trinity County. Care runs as ordinary family practice with same-day urgent care alongside it, and the clinic stays open into the early evening on weekdays. Getting in works differently from most practices. A new patient has to be assigned to this clinic as their primary clinic by their health plan before the clinic can take them, so the front desk is not where you start. The clinic publishes nothing about menopause or hormone care and Cooper has no bio on the site, so what she does for midlife patients is not described anywhere.
Oh Bloom Gyn is the Tustin gynecology office Dr. Diana Tran-Kim opened after five years in an Orange County multidisciplinary group. Perimenopause and menopause care sits at the front of the site, framed around sleep, concentration and comfort with intimacy rather than a symptom checklist. Hormone replacement therapy has its own service page, and the practice's one journal article is written in the first person about the signs that make hormone therapy worth a conversation. Alongside gynecology the office runs its own device suite, including an intravaginal Femilift laser used for dryness, laxity and leaking, and a pelvic floor chair for urinary leaking. A supervised weight programme prescribes semaglutide or tirzepatide with the medication included, and minimally invasive laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are named as work Tran-Kim and a second physician do. Visits are arranged by phone, text or a request form, and a nurse practitioner and a physician assistant also see patients.
Bespoke Rx is Amanda Conti's own practice in South Tampa, and most of what it does is cosmetic work such as Botox, fillers and skin treatments. Alongside that she runs a women's wellness line for bladder leaks, vaginal dryness, painful intimacy and a weak pelvic floor. Those treatments are devices rather than drugs, using radiofrequency, microneedling and electrical muscle stimulation, plus a platelet rich fibrin injection. The site is plain that this route is non hormonal, and it is offered to women who would rather avoid hormone therapy or cannot take it. Every treatment has to be preceded by a one hour consultation, which is in person only even though the practice does video consultations for cosmetic work. She spent years in a trauma intensive care unit and then in interventional radiology at a cancer center before moving into aesthetics, and she says she opened her own practice to get away from five minute appointments and high pressure sales.
Alexis Phillips is a family nurse practitioner at Okemos OB/GYN, one of twelve obstetrics and gynecology offices run by University of Michigan Health-Sparrow. She is the only nurse practitioner on the Okemos team, and the other providers listed there are physicians who also work at the system's other OB/GYN offices. Care is in person at the single Okemos office, which is open weekdays. New patients start by downloading the office's own paperwork packet and calling to be scheduled, because the site has no online booking. Visits are billed to insurance, and the system publishes the plans it takes rather than what a visit costs. Her page says she became a nurse practitioner because the human body fascinates her, and she mentions yoga, crocheting and her French bulldog Winston.
Mary Loya is a women's health nurse practitioner at Diana Health's Allen clinic, part of a women's health group with offices in Texas, Tennessee and Florida. Her own provider page names menopause as a specialty, along with obstetric care, wellness exams and birth control. Menopause care starts with a virtual consult covering genitourinary, vasomotor, mood, memory and sleep symptoms, and the plan that follows can use hormonal or non-hormonal treatment. The clinic bills insurance and lists the plans it takes on its own Allen page. Before joining, she spent fifteen years at Riverside University Health Systems and seven years at Health Services of North Texas in Denton. Patients message the practice and pay bills through its own phone app, which only works on a mobile device.
This is a small concierge practice built around long, unhurried visits and a low number of patients. Dr. Greenwald focuses on perimenopause and menopause, hormone therapy and sexual health. She trained at UCSF, built her practice with Stanford Health Care, still teaches there and works on the obstetrics side at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center several days a month. Care runs through a membership, and visits can be in person or by video. She is not taking new patients right now. Two colleagues in the same practice, Dr. Nazaneen Homaifar and Dr. Sarah Isquick, are certified menopause providers and are taking new members.
Brooke Raidmae is a certified nurse midwife at Maui Lani Gynecology, a four clinician practice in Kahului founded by a board certified OB-GYN. The practice rebranded from Maui Lani Physicians and Surgeons to concentrate on gynecologic care for women, and nothing it publishes names obstetrics among its services. The provider page says Raidmae's approach to gynecologic care is rooted in the midwifery model of care, and that Raidmae practices trauma informed care. That page also names caring for women through major life transitions, including adolescence, family planning, perimenopause and menopause. The practice publishes one gynecologic service list for the whole office rather than saying what each clinician does, so the site does not state which treatments Raidmae provides. New patients register on a form the practice posts on its resources page.
Dr. Powell is a family doctor at Prevea's Luxemburg health center, a small clinic east of Green Bay that shares space with cardiology, orthopedics and physical therapy. She looks after several generations of the same families, and menopause care sits inside that ongoing primary care rather than in a separate clinic. Prevea says she is one of only two clinicians in the whole system with menopause certification, and she is the one covering it on the family medicine side. Prevea's page for her lists her key services as routine adult and pediatric care, preventive medicine, women's care and minor office procedures, and nothing the system publishes says which treatments she uses for menopause. Her own line about how she practices is that listening and taking time with patients is what makes the medical advice worth anything. New patients can book by phone or through the MyPrevea portal, which is also where Prevea runs its virtual visits.
Camryn Jolly is one of six nurse practitioners at Trinity Balanced Family Healthcare, a Georgetown family practice that mixes conventional primary care with functional and integrative medicine. The practice sees patients from age two up and runs a gynecology service covering postmenopausal bleeding, hormone replacement therapy, IUD placement, colposcopy and endometrial biopsy. Its bio-identical hormone pellet program names five other clinicians and does not name Jolly, so that part of the hormone care sits with her colleagues. She did her student capstone year in this clinic before qualifying as a nurse practitioner in 2025, and she came to it from work as an emergency and trauma nurse at a Level 1 trauma center. The clinic closed its on-site lab and now sends lab orders out through the patient portal, which also caps routine messaging between visits at five. New patients start by sending a message through the form on the site rather than booking online.
Optimal Health and Wellness is a small Leawood practice that runs primary care alongside hormone therapy, weight loss and a medical spa. Amanda Woodworth is board certified in both family practice and women's health, and her stated interests are bioidentical hormone replacement, weight loss and functional thyroid management. Hormone care starts with a full evaluation and lab work, then usually runs on either every-other-week injections or pellets inserted in the office that last three to four months. The women's health side also covers endometrial biopsies, IUD and Nexplanon placement, and treatment for vaginal dryness and mild urinary incontinence. Thyroid patients can be put on compounded or desiccated thyroid medication when standard tablets do not suit them. New patients fill in a form and a patient care coordinator rings them back to book, and a deposit holds the slot.
Laurel Jennings is a family medicine physician at Madison Regional Health System, the hospital and clinic serving Madison and the rural area around it. She grew up in Miller, South Dakota and came here after medical school to practice family medicine with obstetrics, and she still cares for whole families and watches generations grow up. Menopause care sits alongside her obstetrics, pediatric and preventive work rather than being a separate clinic. She became a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner in 2026 after seeing how much unproven menopause advice circulates on social media, and she was of perimenopausal age herself at the time. Her stance is to talk through what is and is not FDA approved or safe for a particular woman instead of reaching for whatever is popular, and she points out that she gets no financial benefit from the treatments she recommends. The clinic does some gynecologic procedures in house, including endometrial biopsy, colposcopy and IUD placement, and bigger gynecologic surgery goes to a visiting OB/GYN.
Dana is a nurse midwife and a Santa Cruz native. After about a decade in corporate medicine she started Nurture to offer a more personal kind of women's care, with fertility, perimenopause and menopause as a focus. Menopause visits start with a symptom assessment and hormone lab testing. Treatment can include bioidentical hormone therapy, along with diet, activity and breathwork suggestions. She has extra training in female sexual medicine and hereditary cancer genetics, and libido is a named part of her menopause care. Most contact between visits runs through the practice's messaging portal, and visits can be in person or by video.
