Columbia Women's Clinic is a two nurse practitioner office in Columbia, Tennessee, and Staley owns it. Staley took the clinic over in 2015 from Dr. Joel Hargrove, a nationally recognized pioneer in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and Staley's father, having worked alongside him there for several years. The practice limits its patient numbers on purpose so visits can run longer. Care covers perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, bioidentical hormone replacement and thyroid disorders, alongside routine gynecologic screening and colposcopy. The clinic's own pages use the first name Chris rather than Julia. There is no online booking, and the site publishes nothing about cost or insurance.
Miranda Zuhlke runs Midlife Rising, an independent menopause and sexual health practice based in Madison. Care starts with an hour-long virtual consultation that reviews your labs, bone and breast health, and heart risk and ends with a written plan, though no prescriptions come from that visit alone. Ongoing care is a six or twelve month program with messaging, lab reviews, and hormone therapy or GLP-1 medication when it fits, then a yearly visit to review and refill. She is also a certified sex counselor and treats libido and sexual health as part of menopause care rather than an extra. Her doctoral research looked at the myths around hormone therapy, and she is an Army veteran who served in Iraq. New patients start by emailing her.
She is one of about fifteen clinicians at MaineHealth's Congress Street office in Portland, a hospital department that also houses maternal fetal medicine and used to be called MMP Women's Health. She sees patients at MaineHealth's Bramhall Street OB/GYN clinic on the same Portland campus as well. MaineHealth lists perimenopause and menopause treatment among the gynecology care these offices provide, so a menopause visit here sits inside general OB/GYN care rather than a separate menopause program. She finished her residency at Maine Medical Center and then went back for a public health degree at Harvard, and she now also covers MaineHealth's Pen Bay and Waldo hospitals up the coast. Visits are arranged by calling the office on weekdays, and MaineHealth patients use the MyChart portal for messages and bills. MaineHealth publishes no bio for her and says nothing about how she uses hormones, so her own approach is not described on the site.

Dr. Farook is a family physician who started this small Edmonds primary care practice in 2023 with a physician assistant. She sees patients of all ages and names women's health and menopause among the areas she cares most about. She is also board certified in obesity medicine and certified in psychiatry and addiction medicine, which is an unusual mix for a family doctor. The practice bills insurance, offers telehealth and same-day visits, and does procedures like IUD insertion and endometrial biopsy in the office. The site has no separate menopause program, so this care happens through regular office visits.
Dr. Sandhu runs a solo private practice in downtown Lafayette, where she is the only clinician and three staff members handle the front and back office. She does both obstetrics and gynecology, delivers at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, and says she personally attends more than 90 percent of her patients' births. Menopause sits in her general gynecology list next to contraception, abnormal bleeding and pelvic pain, and no page on the site names a hormone medicine. The treatment she writes about most for midlife symptoms is the MonaLisa Touch laser, which she offers to women who cannot use estrogen or would rather not. She brought robotic gynecologic surgery to the John Muir network and keeps Wednesdays and Fridays clear for surgery and procedures. The office is fragrance free and asks patients to arrange childcare before they come in.
Kirby Plessala runs a solo gynecology and fertility practice in Mobile and has been seeing patients there since 1994. He is the only clinician in the office, supported by nurses, sonographers and administrative staff. His hormone work covers the pre, peri and post menopausal stages, and he provides hormone therapy as pills, patches, creams, vaginal products, injections, sublingual troches and pellets. He describes himself as the only provider in Mobile certified in bioidentical hormone therapy, and he holds pellet certifications through Biote and Evexias. The practice also handles general gynecology, PCOS, fertility care without IVF, and evaluation after pregnancy loss, and it does hysteroscopy and endometrial ablation in the office. He grounds the practice in faith and family and belongs to the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Amber Saloum is an OB/GYN at an Avera Medical Group clinic on the east side of Sioux Falls, where she works alongside four other providers. She practices full-spectrum obstetrics and gynecology, so menopause care sits next to pregnancy care, deliveries and gynecologic surgery. Her Avera profile names menopause as one of her two focus areas, and she also sees women for menstrual problems and pelvic pain. Hormone therapy is part of what Avera offers for menopause, and the system hands related problems like bone loss or sleep trouble to its own specialists. Surgery is a real part of her week, and she does ablation, laparoscopy and hysterectomy by the least invasive route she can, including robotic-assisted. She says she chose medicine because it joins two things she likes, science and serving people.
Dr. Matta runs a small office based gynecology practice on Beacon Street in Brookline, and her site says she partners with Dr. Nicole Boudreau. Her own description of her work is brief and promises compassionate and comprehensive office based gynecological care, with time taken to understand what each patient needs. The booking profile her site links is the only place that names services, and it lists birth control, consultations for menopause, evaluations for osteoporosis, and annual gynecologic examinations, along with care for urinary tract infection and sexual dysfunction. She does not publish what she prescribes for menopause. She is a board certified obstetrician gynecologist who trained at Loyola, completed a fellowship at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, and teaches physician assistants as an instructor at Boston University. The office keeps short hours, afternoons on Mondays and Tuesdays and mornings on Thursdays and Fridays, with metered street parking around the building, and she speaks Spanish and Cantonese as well as English.
Winston is a board certified obstetrician gynaecologist at Boston Medical Center. She sees patients at two sites, the main Boston campus on Harrison Avenue and BMC Brighton. Her hospital listing places her in obstetrics and gynaecology along with labour, delivery and postpartum care, so her published work includes deliveries and not only office gynaecology. Boston Medical Center publishes nothing about menopause, perimenopause or hormone therapy for her, and her profile carries no specialties list at all, while a colleague at the same Harrison Avenue office does list menopause. Her menopause certification from The Menopause Society is current, but her employer's site gives no sign that she offers menopause care. She trained in obstetrics and gynaecology at Marshall University in West Virginia after earning her osteopathic degree in Tennessee.
Jeanine Grillo Devlin, MD is an obstetrician-gynecologist at Kramer OB/GYN and Associates, a Redeemer Health practice, seeing patients on Bustleton Avenue in Philadelphia and in Huntingdon Valley. She is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner with more than 24 years in practice, and offers hormonal, non-hormonal and lifestyle treatment for menopause. Menopause management is one service line in a practice that also provides obstetric and general gynecologic care.
Women's Center of Excellence is an all female obstetrics and gynecology practice in McAllen with just two board certified physicians, open since May 2014. Dr. Padilla-Williams is one of the two and sees women of all ages, from children through postmenopausal patients. Her stated interests run from adolescent health to infertility, obstetrics, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and helping women through the menopause transition. The only hormone treatment the practice names anywhere on its site is Biote pellet therapy, and the site also sends patients to Biote's own supplement store. In office work includes colposcopy, LEEP for cervical dysplasia and gynecological ultrasound, and both physicians are on staff at Doctors Hospital at Renaissance and Rio Grande Regional Hospital. She grew up in Brownsville and came back to the valley to practise, and she helped start the UTRGV obstetrics and gynecology residency program and still volunteers to teach its residents.
Anita Bekker is one of three providers in the OB/GYN department at Northern Montana Health Care, a not-for-profit critical access hospital system in Havre. She sees patients at the Family Medical Center alongside two board certified obstetrician gynecologists. The department covers the whole range of women's health, from pregnancy and delivery through menopause, and it names menopause and hormone management among its gynecologic services. She is a family nurse practitioner who also holds a doctorate in nursing practice, with more than sixteen years of professional experience. Her profile says she looks past the current illness to treat the whole patient, and she puts weight on prevention and health education. The department also treats bladder problems and publishes a bladder symptom questionnaire patients can download before they come in.
Green Valley Women's Health is Dr. Pahlavan's own gynecology office in Fairfield. She covers routine gynecologic care, first trimester obstetrics and menopause care, and her services page names menopausal hormone therapy. Surgery is what sets her apart, and after a fellowship in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery she does hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, robotic and office based procedures, so fibroids and endometriosis get treated rather than referred out. She also offers MonaLisa Touch vaginal laser. She has practiced in Solano County and the East Bay since 2003. The site is three pages and gives no way to book online, so a new patient has to call or text the office.
Dr. Pope is Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Southcoast Health and one of the gynecologists on its Menopause and Wellness Program team. The program calls itself the first in its region built around midlife and menopause care. It puts gynecology alongside heart care, weight loss, bone health, endocrinology, psychiatry, sex therapy and pelvic floor physical therapy, so patients can be referred within one team. He sees patients at the program's Wareham office and at the Southcoast OB/GYN office in New Bedford. He also teaches obstetrics and gynecology at Brown and lists menopause among his clinical interests. Visits go through Southcoast Health's usual insurance billing and MyChart patient portal.
Carrie Wieneke Broghammer is a general obstetrician gynecologist at The University of Kansas Health System, where she chairs the OB/GYN department. The department runs a midlife program called Menopause, Intimacy and Midlife Transition, and its menopause care includes hormone therapy. Her own profile describes the breadth of obstetrics and gynecology rather than a menopause-only practice. She came to KU in 2008 and started its minimally invasive gynecology program, so gynecologic surgery is a real part of her work. Her bio says she wants patients to understand their options and play a part in their own care, and she sees teens, adults and adults over 65. Visits are at two locations on the Kansas City campus, video visits are available, and a new patient starts by sending an appointment request and waiting for a scheduler to call back.
Minkin is a Yale clinical professor who has been in private practice around New Haven for more than 40 years. She rotates between three Connecticut offices, one day a week in each, in New Haven, Guilford and Essex. Her current practice is general gynecology and women's health with a focus on peri- and postmenopausal quality of life. Since 2008 she has also directed the Sexuality, Intimacy and Menopause clinic in the gynecological oncology division at Smilow Cancer Hospital, so sexual health after cancer treatment is a real part of her work. She no longer does obstetrics or gynecologic surgery and leaves that to the group she practices with, which admits patients to Yale New Haven Hospital. Her website is mostly free education she wrote for patients and younger clinicians, including videos on menopause and on menopause for cancer survivors, and a blog she writes with her mathematician husband that opens with why she left electronic medical recordkeeping.
Anna Bobba is a board-certified OB-GYN with more than 20 years of experience. Her solo practice in Beverly Hills covers menopause and perimenopause, weight and metabolic health, and lifestyle medicine. She says she started it after watching women get one-size-fits-all treatment for menopause and weight problems. Hormone therapy and non-hormonal options are both offered, and weight care includes FDA-approved medications and a body composition analysis. Visits can be in person, by video, as house calls, or as a concierge service. The site does not publish prices, insurance or online booking, so a new patient starts with a consult by phone or email.
Dr Wagner is one of ten physicians at MY Texas Health Care OB/GYN, a Fort Worth group with five offices, and she works out of the Medical District office on 8th Avenue. Her own page puts midlife care at the centre of her practice and names perimenopause and menopause, complicated menopause, menopause after cancer, and weight management through midlife. She grew up in Fort Worth, was an original member of the medical staff at the Andrews Women's Hospital and was its medical director from 2018 to 2023. The group's menopause page says its physicians prescribe hormone therapy and bioidentical hormone therapy, and the practice treats incontinence, vaginal atrophy and painful sex with laser therapy in the office. The site publishes no prices, says nothing about insurance, and the only way to reach the office is to call it.
Dr. Kornreich is a board certified OB-GYN in private practice in Beverly Hills and is on staff at Cedars-Sinai. She sees women of all ages but says she has a dedicated interest in perimenopause and menopause, and she has been a certified menopause clinician since 2001. A first visit starts with a full history and a physical exam, then any labs, bone density testing or imaging she thinks are needed. Hormone therapy comes in several forms, including pharmaceutical patches, gels and pills as well as compounded creams and capsules. She also offers the MonaLisa Touch vaginal laser as a non-hormonal option for vaginal dryness and painful sex. Appointments are made by phone.
Julie Homann is a nurse practitioner at The Women's Clinic of Northern Colorado, a practice running since 1965 with offices in Loveland and Fort Collins. She holds the Menopause Society Certified Practitioner credential, and hers is one of only two biographies on the clinic's team pages that names it. The clinic cares for perimenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal women and says its hormone therapy comes as a pill, gel, cream, patch or spray, with vaginal products in cream, tablet or ring form. It also runs hormone testing by blood, saliva or urine, bone density scanning and osteoporosis care, and it presents non-hormonal routes including prescription medicine, diet and exercise. The clinic advertises MonaLisa Touch laser treatment for vaginal dryness, though its procedures page lists that among the work its OB/GYN physicians perform. Appointments are asked for through a form on the site and a patient representative calls back within two business days.
Rosalind Arp founded and owns this small practice in Winter Park. It treats both women and men with hormone therapy, and it also runs a medical weight loss program. Hormone pellets are one of the listed services, and a patient's review on the site describes her placing one. New patients can book a free introductory video visit if they are still deciding, or a full hormone consultation that leads into labs and a treatment plan. Visits are in the office or by telemedicine, and a patient portal handles refills and messages. The site is small and publishes no prices, so costs come up on the free intro call.
Dr. Goodstein is a gynecologist at Carnegie Hill OB/GYN, a small group of women doctors on the Upper East Side. She sees patients from their teens through menopause and lists hormone therapy and irregular bleeding among her areas of expertise. She is also trained in CO2 laser treatment of the vulva and vagina. The first visit is unhurried, with a full history and a sit-down talk with the doctor after the exam. She has been in practice since 2000 and still delivers babies at Mount Sinai.
Clare Heintzelman is a nurse practitioner at Bloom OB/GYN, a busy gynecology and obstetrics group in upper Northwest DC, and she handles menopause and midlife care there. Before becoming an NP she spent about six years as a labor and delivery nurse at Sibley Memorial Hospital. The practice treats menopause symptoms with hormone therapy or with non-hormonal medicines for women who can't or would rather not take hormones, and it also watches bone density. Visits are billed to insurance. New patients start with an office visit, and after that routine follow-ups, lab reviews and prescription changes can happen by video. Patient reviews single her out for being patient and unhurried with questions.
Norma Cerna is a family medicine physician at Shannon's clinic on East Harris Avenue in San Angelo, a multi-specialty clinic that also houses the system's OB-GYN and breast services. Shannon lists her Menopause Society certification right alongside her family medicine board certification, and that is the only menopause detail the system publishes about her. Shannon also runs a separate menopause clinic in the same building, but its page names an OB-GYN colleague as the physician who leads it. So nothing on the site describes how Cerna herself handles hormone therapy or what a menopause visit with her involves. New patients reach the system through its provider matching service rather than a booking link on her profile.
