13 practitioners have an office in Alaska, and 21 more can see patients here by telehealth. 23 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Anchorage, Juneau and Soldotna.
Kristine Groemping is a family nurse practitioner and former Navy officer who started out in labor and delivery nursing and later worked as a menopause specialist at Evernow. She founded this small cash-pay practice, which treats perimenopause and menopause along with weight management, thyroid conditions and low libido in women. She is openly against pellets, pricey supplements and frequent hormone lab testing, and follows Menopause Society guidelines for estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Most care happens by video, with refills handled by video or secure message, and she also sees patients at an office in southwest Austin. New patients can request a first hormone, testosterone or weight consultation online, and the booking page also offers a free introductory call.
Gennev is a virtual menopause clinic and Brekke is one of the doctors on its prescriber roster. She is a board certified OB-GYN with more than 25 years in practice, and her own page names perimenopause, menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency and weight management medication. Her stated approach is for women who are good at supporting everyone around them and who struggle to put themselves first. She says she does not do meal plans or macros, and works instead through small habits that build on what a patient already does well. Visits are by video and run 30 minutes, and a referral to one of the clinic's dietitians can be made at the first appointment. The clinic prescribes GLP-1 medication on its weight track and says plainly that it will not use compounded versions.
Pacific Menopause is a virtual clinic Dr. Ammerman built to do one thing, which is midlife and menopause care by video. New patient visits run a full 60 minutes, and follow ups are usually booked two to three months later and then spaced out to once a year once symptoms settle. She prescribes FDA approved hormone therapy and testosterone, and she spells out that this means bioidentical hormones such as estradiol and progesterone, which have the same molecular structure as the hormones the body makes. Non hormonal prescriptions are there for women who cannot take hormones or would rather avoid them. Weight is her second focus, and she prescribes both oral and injectable weight loss medication alongside work on nutrition, activity and behaviour. She also owns a gynecology clinic in Kahului, so patients on Maui can choose to see her there in person instead.
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.
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.
Khaki Hazzlerigg is a family nurse practitioner at a primary care clinic in Soldotna that sees patients of all ages. Her own focus is women's health, from the teen years through perimenopause and menopause. Along with hormone and menopause care she does well-woman exams, IUD and implant placement, colposcopies and early pregnancy care. That means a woman can have her menopause care and routine gynecology handled in the same office. She grew up in South Louisiana and has recently started seeing patients in Alaska. New patients start with a visit of about an hour that goes through their full medical history.
Sabrina Yoder runs Fireweed Functional Medicine in Ketchikan and sees only women and girls. She is a nurse practitioner and nurse-midwife who has worked in women's health since 2008, and she came to this work after a long, unexplained illness of her own following her first child's birth. Care starts with a 90-minute intake, then hour-long follow-ups to go over lab results, paid either per visit or through a six-month membership. Her focus is perimenopause, PCOS, thyroid and menstrual problems, and she uses lab testing, lifestyle changes and supplements alongside hormone therapy when she thinks it fits. She is not a primary care provider, so you need a separate clinician for screenings and acute care.
Allie Theiss is a menopause coach, not a licensed clinician, and she does not prescribe. The main service is a private three or six month coaching program on her own six-part framework, covering nutrition, supplements, flower essences, sleep and stress, intimacy and energy. Smaller options are a one-off audit with a recorded video review, and single paid sessions by Zoom, phone or in person in Akron. She writes that hormone therapy was not an option in her own menopause, and the program's answer to hormonal symptoms is supplements, flower essences and lifestyle change rather than medical treatment. When checked, the online calendars for the paid sessions showed no open times and were not taking payment, so the audit and the coaching program were the open ways to start.
Orama Wellness is an online psychology practice that Linda Kondilis founded in Atlanta after years of work in reproductive mental health. Care here is talk therapy rather than medical care, and nobody on the team prescribes hormones or orders labs. The perimenopause service is about coping with sleep trouble, anxiety, brain fog, pain and changes in sex and relationships. Most of the practice is fertility and third party reproduction work, with cancer support and couples counseling alongside it. New clients request a first appointment through the practice's booking portal, and she offers a free phone consultation before starting.
A physician-led longevity and performance practice based in Seattle, where the practitioner is medical director. Care begins with an in-person day in the Seattle area for baseline diagnostics, covering over a hundred biomarkers, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, continuous glucose monitoring, genomics and multi-cancer screening. It then moves to quarterly labs and structured medical reviews, with follow-ups virtual or in person. A women's track is described for perimenopause, menopause and after, with hormone and metabolic diagnostics and ongoing telehealth support, and physicians provide prescriptions and referrals as clinically appropriate.
Gliss Wellness is a virtual-only OB/GYN practice Dr. Walsh co-founded with a second board-certified OB/GYN, and menopause care is its main focus. Care starts with a 30-minute video consultation about your symptoms, and if hormone therapy suits you, you leave with prescriptions for the first three months. A follow-up at three months keeps refills going for the rest of the year, and refills in between happen by message through the patient portal. There is no membership, and you fill prescriptions at your own pharmacy. The doctors can't examine you in person but can order labs and other tests. Dr. Walsh's own interests include pelvic pain, endometriosis, fibroids and weight loss, and a free 15-minute call lets you meet the team before booking.
Beyer is a Midi clinical leader and sits on the company advisory board, and she still sees patients by video. She trained in obstetrics and gynaecology, then dropped obstetrics to work on gynaecology and hormonal health only. Weight is her second focus and she holds a diplomate from the American Board of Obesity Medicine. She talks openly about gaining weight before her 50th birthday and losing 35 pounds over five months, and she uses that with patients who are struggling. Care runs through Midi only, so visits are by video and anything needing an exam or imaging goes to an outside clinician. Her page has no booking link of her own, so the Midi sign-up does not let a new patient choose her by name.
Dr. Jill is a board certified gynecologist and surgeon who runs Modern Gynecology and Skin in Anchorage alongside a nurse practitioner and a physician assistant. Hormone care starts with a symptom questionnaire and blood work covering hormone levels, a full thyroid panel and vitamin D3 and B12, because she does not treat normal or average lab values as the goal. She prescribes bioidentical hormone therapy as creams or gels, a patch, pills or pellets, picks the method after going through a patient's history, lab values and goals, and will prescribe testosterone off label for women. Alongside hormones she keeps a full general gynecology practice including colposcopy, LEEP, fibroid and heavy bleeding treatment, incontinence and prolapse care and minimally invasive surgery, plus a cosmetic side with labiaplasty, ThermiVa and platelet rich plasma injections. She sees patients by video anywhere in Alaska and she co-hosts a live call-in health show on Alaska Public Media. The office is deliberately set up to feel like a spa rather than a clinic.
