Menopause Society Certified Practitioners in Alabama
37 practitioners have an office in Alabama, and 55 more can see patients here by telehealth. 56 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Huntsville, Birmingham and Dothan.
ICONA Health is a hormone clinic in Birmingham that Dr. McCool founded with his wife, after a year in which her own perimenopause went unrecognized and hormone therapy turned it around. He came to this work as a board-certified urologist who noticed that men were offered testosterone quickly while women in perimenopause were passed over, so he trained in women's hormone health. Care begins with a consultation about your symptoms, history and goals, and labs can be drawn at that first visit with treatment sometimes starting the same day. Anyone who continues joins a monthly membership that covers lab monitoring, follow-up visits, refills and messaging between visits, with a check-in every three to six months. Treatment plans draw on estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, vaginal estrogen and weight loss medication, and they will use pellets when they suit someone, though they say they are not a pellet-only clinic and often start women on a testosterone cream instead. They are a specialty clinic rather than primary care, so they ask you to keep your own regular doctor.
Dr. Moayedi is a Dallas OB/GYN who specializes in complex family planning and runs her own small practice. Her perimenopause and menopause care happens entirely by video, and she reviews your history and explains the science behind the treatment plan. Between visits you can text her directly with questions. Most patients need one or two follow-up visits to adjust doses, then a yearly visit to keep refills going. Prescriptions go to whatever pharmacy you choose. The practice doesn't take insurance, but it works with nonprofit funds to help Texas patients cover visit costs.
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.
Pam Jones is a nurse practitioner at Aventa Specialized Women's Care, a large OB/GYN practice in Dothan that also delivers babies and does gynecologic surgery. She joined in March 2026 and says menopause is her particular interest, with a focus on women going through perimenopause and menopause. She started out in 1997 as a labor and delivery nurse and has spent her whole career caring for women. Menopause visits here are ordinary office visits billed to insurance. The office sits next to Flowers Hospital, so many patients book a mammogram or bone density scan on the same day as their annual visit. The practice is taking new patients and has online scheduling.
Options Wellness is a small women-owned clinic in Muscle Shoals run by two nurse practitioners and a nurse administrator. They focus on gynecology and midlife care for women who are not pregnant, and see patients from puberty onward. Hormone therapy comes as pills, patches, sublingual forms or injections, and the choice is made together with the patient. The practice does not offer pellets. Vaginal estrogen is used for dryness and to help prevent urinary infections, and testosterone is offered for low desire. Amy Beth spent years in cardiovascular care and the cath lab, and the clinic puts real weight on heart and metabolic risk, not only symptom relief.
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.
Jackie Stone, MD sees women entirely by telehealth, in a practice she runs alone. She is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and in obesity medicine, and treats perimenopause, menopause and primary ovarian insufficiency alongside PCOS, genitourinary symptoms, sexual wellness, and skin and hair changes. First visits run a full hour and cover past records, labs and a treatment plan. Ongoing care is by monthly membership or visit by visit, with direct messaging for members.
A solo, fully virtual membership practice for midlife women across Texas, run by a physician board certified in family, obesity and lifestyle medicine who is also a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. The membership covers an hour-long first consultation, seven follow-ups a year, secure messaging between visits, prescription management and lab interpretation, while medication, labs and imaging are billed separately. Hormone therapy is offered but not part of every plan, with non-hormonal options discussed instead. The practice declines to use hormone pellets, citing unpredictable dosing. Care is given in English and Spanish, and the physician describes herself as working alongside a patient's existing doctors rather than replacing them.
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.
Dana Johnson is a registered nurse who spent about 20 years in the ICU before founding Qavah Functional Wellness, a telehealth-only practice. She started it after her own Long COVID turned into autoimmune and gut problems and then a hard menopause transition. Hormone therapy is offered to Alabama residents only, while the lab and gut health services also reach a few other southern states. Each hormone plan starts with lab work and a consultation, and bioidentical hormones come as creams, gels, pills, troches or injections. Prescriptions are written by the practice's licensed providers rather than by Dana, who is a nurse. New patients start with an online consultation request, and the team calls back within one business day.
Val Schonberg is a registered dietitian who works with women in midlife on nutrition, bone and heart health, and their relationship with food and their body. Her main service is a Midlife Health Assessment, followed by ongoing coaching sessions for clients who want more support. She takes a non-diet approach that follows Health at Every Size, and she has a background in sports nutrition and eating disorder care. She does not prescribe hormones or order hormone tests. She works alongside your own gynecologist or doctor instead. All of her sessions happen online, and she runs a free monthly menopause Q&A on Zoom.
Therapy for Midlife is Dr. Rashkis's solo virtual practice, and every session runs over video. She works with women moving through perimenopause and menopause, and she also sees men in midlife and couples. Care is talk therapy only, and the FAQ says the practice does not prescribe medication, though she will discuss a referral to a prescribing physician and can speak with your own doctor if you give written permission. For menopause she uses cognitive behavioral therapy for the distress that comes with hot flashes and CBT for insomnia for sleep trouble, alongside acceptance and commitment therapy and emotionally focused therapy. Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly at first and then spaced further apart, and she says most clients need five to fifteen of them. She is a lifelong competitive athlete who says she went through her own midlife upheaval, which is what led her to start the practice.
She founded this functional medicine clinic in Largo and is also an emergency medicine physician with more than 18 years in clinical practice. Menopause and perimenopause care sits alongside men's hormone care, weight management and longevity services. New patients start with a short discovery call, then a full lab panel before the first visit with a provider. Women who still have periods are asked to time the blood draw to days 19 to 21 of their cycle. Hormone therapy here uses bioidentical hormones guided by lab work and genomic testing. The practice does not bill insurance, and visits happen in the office or by video.
A solo direct-pay practice in Lone Tree whose stated scope is dermatology, cosmetic procedures and medically supervised weight management. The physician is board certified in dermatology and obesity medicine. Every initial visit is by video, with in-person follow-ups by appointment, and the practice does not bill insurance. Hormone replacement therapy is named only as one reason for a new-patient visit on the fee schedule, and no hormone or menopause care is described anywhere else on the site.
Kate Willis is the nurse practitioner at Hormone Wellness MD, a two-clinician functional medicine practice with offices in Raleigh and in Birmingham, Alabama. She sees North Carolina patients by video or phone only, while Alabama patients come in for the first visit and at least once a year after that. She began as a nurse practitioner in gynecologic oncology in 2009 and moved into functional medicine after her own digestive trouble, fatigue and insomnia sent her looking for answers. The practice prescribes bioidentical hormones, using regular pharmacies where an FDA-approved version exists and compounding pharmacies for testosterone, and it refuses hormone pellets because they often overdose patients and cannot be reversed. Kate performs no physical exams, so patients keep their own gynecologist or primary doctor for annual breast and pelvic checks. The practice will not take patients who are pregnant, trying to conceive, or currently smoking or vaping, and it records visits with an AI scribe that patients may decline.
Concierge Medicine of Westlake is Dr. Fiffick's own practice. She keeps the patient panel small and runs it on annual memberships rather than billing insurance. The women's health membership covers non-obstetric care through midlife, with perimenopause and menopause symptom management alongside bone health, cardiovascular risk and urogenital health, and it includes hormone prescription management when she judges it appropriate. Members get 30 or 60 minute visits, same or next day openings, and her direct phone, text and email, and virtual visits are offered as a supplement with prior approval when an exam is not needed. She came to women's health through family medicine after being told early on that the only route was OB-GYN, then spent two years in the Cleveland Clinic's Specialized Women's Health fellowship. As an osteopathic physician she also does hands-on manipulative treatment, which patients can buy as its own membership or one visit at a time.
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. Waddell is one of three board certified obstetrician gynecologists at Montgomery Women's Health Associates, a long established obstetrics and gynecology group on Taylor Road in Montgomery. The practice publishes a hormonal and women's health service that covers menopause management, hormone replacement therapy, and osteoporosis evaluation and treatment. For menopause it treats hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbance and mood changes with individual plans, and it reviews medical history and symptoms before deciding whether hormone therapy is right for a patient, then monitors treatment closely. Surgery is done by the group itself and includes hysteroscopy, endometrial ablation, laparoscopic hysterectomy, robotic surgery and pelvic reconstructive surgery. A medically supervised weight loss program runs alongside the gynecology care with a staff nutrition coach who guides patients on lifestyle changes and weight loss medication options. One thing a reader should know is that Dr. Waddell is currently taking new patients only if they are pregnant, while her two physician partners take new patients generally.
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.
Online Benign Gyne is Dr. Todd's own telehealth practice, and every visit happens by video. She sees women for contraception, breast concerns, vaginal and vulva problems, menopause and facial skin care, and consultations and referrals are part of what she offers. Her site carries long plain-language explainers on hormone therapy, PCOS, urinary infections and breast exams. She is a New Orleans native and a military veteran who served during Operation Desert Storm and later at Walter Reed Medical Center. She says she especially enjoys caring for older women because she has faced the same changes herself. New patients can pick a video slot through the practice's own online scheduler.
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.
