Hormone Health and Fibromyalgia Specialists of Alabama opened in Huntsville in 2025 after its founder went through her own perimenopause and fibromyalgia and could not get help across four separate specialties. Jana Jackson treats both women and men for hormone change, and the practice argues that perimenopause can start in the mid thirties and that a normal lab result is not a reason to turn someone away. Her hormone work uses commercially available products from a local pharmacy rather than compounded formulas, and she adds testosterone for women as a matter of routine rather than treating with estrogen alone. The clinic also runs supervised medical weight loss with semaglutide and tirzepatide and often pairs that with hormone therapy. Jackson is a PhD candidate researching the root cause of fibromyalgia, with early findings pointing toward a neuro-endocrine withdrawal mechanism. Visits are available in person and by video, and the office is open Monday through Thursday.
Elizabeth Irby is a nurse practitioner at Women4Women OBGYN, an all female obstetrics, gynecology and midwifery practice in Huntsville that she joined when it opened in 2017. She is the only clinician on its roster who lists the Menopause Society certification, and her bio names contraception counseling, infertility, PCOS and menopause related issues as her areas of interest. The practice books a dedicated Menopause Consult and asks patients to bring a three page menopause questionnaire that covers menopause status, past hormone therapy and a long symptom checklist. That form asks women who have never used hormone therapy whether they are interested in it, and it states plainly that the office does not prescribe or insert hormone pellets. Patients are asked to pick their top three concerns because more than three may need a second visit. She also serves as the practice's clinical nurse manager, and the vaginal laser treatment the practice advertises for postmenopausal vaginal changes is performed by two of its physicians rather than by her.
Kaelie Salisbury is a physician assistant at Clinic for Women, a large OB-GYN practice with offices in Huntsville and Madison. She grew up in Huntsville, started practicing there in 2022 and joined the clinic in 2024. The practice covers gynecology and pregnancy care, and menopause visits fit within that general women's health setting. Its menopause page describes estrogen and progesterone therapy as well as non-hormonal options like low-dose antidepressants for hot flashes. There is an on-site lab that needs no appointment, but the clinic does not do mammograms, so you book those directly with an imaging center.
Sherri Franklin is a certified nurse midwife and women's health nurse practitioner who sees patients as part of Dr. Karen Raiford's team at Tennessee Valley OBGYN, an obstetrics and gynecology group that has cared for Huntsville women for more than 27 years from a main office downtown and a second office at Crestwood Maternity Center. She spent over 20 years in the Army caring for women, first as a labor and delivery nurse and later as a certified nurse midwife, and she earned a post masters degree as a women's health nurse practitioner in 2023. Her own biography says she has a newfound interest in helping women through perimenopause and menopause, and she is the only provider on the team whose page mentions either. The practice lists menopause management among its gynecology services alongside routine exams, contraception, osteoporosis care, urinary incontinence treatment and surgery, but it does not name any specific hormone or non hormonal treatment anywhere on its website. There is an in house full service laboratory for diagnostic testing, and the practice is affiliated with Huntsville Hospital and Crestwood Medical Center. Appointments are arranged through the scheduling department rather than an online calendar, and the request form lets a patient ask for one of the physicians or the first available provider.
