35 practitioners have an office in Arkansas, and 35 more can see patients here by telehealth. 41 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Little Rock, Fayetteville and Bentonville.
Dr. Markell spent about ten years as a practicing OB/GYN before leaving conventional practice to open her own integrative hormone clinic in downtown Springdale. Care is organized as programs rather than single visits. Most women start with a three-month consult that includes an hour-long first visit and a lab review, then move into a yearlong program with a few private visits and portal access to her team. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone when they fit, and also works with women who cannot or do not want to take hormones. Her yearlong programs add group nutrition visits, body composition scans and a pelvic floor therapy visit. She does not do annual gynecology exams, so you still need someone else for those.

Mandy Burton runs a small self-pay clinic in Hot Springs focused on menopause, perimenopause and midlife hormone care, and she also has urogynecology training. Care starts with a long first visit, usually in person with labs drawn on site. After that you can pay per visit or choose a six-month or yearly plan that adds messaging between appointments. Telehealth is used for follow-ups that don't need labs or a body composition scan. She prescribes hormone therapy and testosterone for women, won't use pellets because they can't be adjusted once placed, and is openly skeptical of the idea that compounded hormones are safer. The clinic is not a replacement for your primary care provider, so you keep your own doctor for everything outside hormones and pelvic health.
Dr. Bryson runs a small virtual practice built around two things, menopause care and medical weight management. She is boarded in both family medicine and obesity medicine, so many of her midlife patients come in dealing with weight changes and hormone changes together. She sticks to FDA-approved hormone therapy and also prescribes non-hormonal options. Care starts with a free 15-minute meet and greet, then a long new-patient visit with a full health history and workup. Members move from monthly visits down to every three or six months once treatment is stable, and they can reach her directly by text, phone or email. She currently sees Arkansas residents only and cannot take patients on Medicare.
EndoHarmony is Dr. Singh's solo direct-care endocrinology practice, run on a membership or fee-for-service basis with a deliberately small panel. She caps it at roughly 300 patients rather than the 3,000 of a traditional clinic. Menopause care sits inside a broader endocrine practice, so menopause management with hormone replacement therapy runs alongside thyroid disease, osteoporosis and bone density screening, PCOS, lipid disorders, diabetes and medically supervised weight management. Most visits are virtual, with in-person days on Fridays at the Westborough office and Thursdays by appointment at a second Natick location. New patients start with a short video meet-and-greet before registering, and members get sixty to a hundred and twenty minute appointments, unlimited secure messaging and round-the-clock outreach for urgent concerns.
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.
Jackie Piasta runs a small solo membership practice in East Cobb focused on hormones, perimenopause and menopause, and midlife metabolic health. New patients start with a nurse-led pre-visit to line up labs and then an hour-long consultation with her, and ongoing care after that requires joining the membership. Members message the team through a portal and a text line, and follow-ups run 30 to 40 minutes in person or by video. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone but does not offer hormone pellets. She is also an obesity medicine specialist who prescribes GLP-1 weight medications and treats thyroid, bladder and bone problems. New patient appointments are booking two to three months out, and she teaches menopause care to nurse practitioner students at Vanderbilt.
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.
Women's Health Associates is a seven-provider OB/GYN practice in Bentonville that handles pregnancy, gynecology and menopause in one office. Dr. Sills joined the practice's founder there in 2012, and her work centers on menopause, preventive care and gynecologic surgery. She says the menopausal transition is a particular interest of hers, and that she is working toward certification as a menopause specialist. The practice's menopause page takes the view that menopause itself does not need treating and that the treatment is for the symptoms, but it never says which hormone or non-hormone options the doctors use. Care happens in person at the Bentonville office, and new patients print a packet of forms and bring it to the first appointment.
Lori Smith runs Vitality Telehealth as a solo practice in Arkadelphia and sees most patients by video. Her hormone work is framed as hormone optimization rather than menopause care, though the site lists reduced hot flashes, night sweats and insomnia among what her bioidentical hormone therapy does for women. She also runs a direct primary care membership that covers preventive visits, chronic disease management and unlimited messaging, so hormone care can sit inside ongoing primary care. Prescribed therapies are shipped to your door, and new patients book a 45 minute telehealth consultation straight from her calendar. Alongside hormones she prescribes weight loss medication and peptide therapy, and she runs a separate aesthetics business out of the same office. She says patients come to her after being told by other providers that they are just getting old.
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.
Dr. Carol runs a small concierge practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, and she is going through midlife herself. She spent about 20 years as an emergency physician before turning to menopause care. Care starts with a free 30-minute video call, then a package of two long visits, each 60 to 90 minutes, with messaging between and after them. Visits can be at her Manhattan office, by video, or at your home or workplace. The visits look at symptom treatment along with bone, heart and breast cancer risk. She does not replace your own doctors, so you still need a primary care doctor and a gynecologist for exams and mammograms.
Dr. Freeman runs her own concierge family medicine clinic in downtown Austin and puts hormone care for menopausal and peri-menopausal women at the front of it. She is a member of The Menopause Society and books 45 to 60 minute hormone consultations so there is time to go through a patient's questions. Hormone care is guided by symptoms as much as by blood or saliva levels, and the clinic also treats low testosterone in women with injections, gels or creams, and subdermal pellets. It is a membership clinic rather than one that bills insurance, and members get a yearly physical, a monthly B12 injection and lab draws in the office. Dr. Freeman is an osteopathic physician who does hands on manipulation, still makes house calls, and recommends a full body treatment four times a year. She grew up surfing the Texas coast and bikes to and from the clinic.
Kristen Loose is the menopause specialist at Dr. Gina Mantor's medical spa and weight clinic in Westerville, where the rest of the practice focuses on aesthetics and weight loss. She treats perimenopause and menopause with standard hormone therapy, and offers non-hormonal prescriptions and lifestyle advice to women who can't or would rather not take hormones. The first consultation is free and happens by video. After that she sees patients in the office on Wednesdays and Saturdays or by appointment. She follows Menopause Society guidance closely and writes on the clinic's site that soy and black cohosh don't hold up for hot flashes.

Dr. Rice is a general and trauma surgeon who started this separate practice for women in perimenopause and menopause. She prescribes bioidentical hormones and also coaches patients on lifestyle. New patients start with a long first consultation, in person in Hot Springs or by video, and then have follow-up visits. Patients can message her through an app portal, and she runs a monthly group video call.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Gennev is an all-virtual menopause clinic owned by Unified Women's Healthcare, and care starts with a 30 minute video visit with a menopause-trained doctor. Dunsmoor-Su is Gennev's chief medical officer and she also carries her own patient list. The areas she names herself include premature ovarian insufficiency, breast cancer risk and survivorship, endometriosis, and weight management with medication. Her background is clinical epidemiology, and she still runs women's health drug trials as a medical director at a Seattle research centre and teaches OB-GYN residents. She says she treats each visit as a chance to explain the current evidence so the decision about treatment is a shared one. Doctors here prescribe FDA-approved hormone therapy when a patient is a candidate and non-hormonal medicines when she is not, and the clinic tells patients to steer clear of compounded weight drugs made outside FDA oversight.
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.
Women's Health Associates is a seven-provider OB/GYN practice in Bentonville, and Dr. Sarver has been a physician there since it was founded in 2012. She has practiced in Northwest Arkansas since 2002, and her bio says she especially enjoys menopausal medicine and helping women navigate life stage transitions. The practice describes itself as women caring for women, and the same office handles pregnancy, gynecology and midlife care, with a medical weight loss program run alongside by a dietician on staff. Its menopause page explains what changes in the body and says treatment is aimed at the symptoms rather than at menopause itself, but it never names a hormone or non-hormone option the doctors use. Care is in person at the Bentonville office. New patients print a packet of forms and bring it to the first appointment, and appointments start with a request form on the site rather than online booking.
