Dr. Evans is a gynecologist who left insurance-based practice because she felt she could not give women enough time. First visits run 60 to 90 minutes and she looks at hormones, metabolism, sleep, gut health and stress together. Members see her every time and can reach her directly by phone, email and text. Hormone care includes bioidentical hormone therapy where she thinks it fits, and she also does gynecologic surgery and office procedures. Visits are in person on the Los Angeles Westside and South Bay, with video visits across California. The practice is kept small on purpose, so new memberships may go to a waitlist when the panel is full.
Jenn Kosova is a physician assistant with a long emergency medicine background who now runs a concierge functional medicine practice. She treats both women and men for hormone changes, including perimenopause and menopause, using bioidentical hormones. New patients start with a discovery call and then a consultation built around a large lab panel, and ongoing care runs through a membership with direct messaging. Visits can be by telehealth, in the Los Angeles or Dallas office, or at home.
Dr. Oberman co-directs UCLA Health's Comprehensive Menopause Program, where she leads its education work, and she also keeps a general obstetrics and gynecology practice at the Westwood OBGYN office. New patients fill out a health questionnaire before the first visit that takes 30 to 45 minutes and is due a week ahead, so the consultation itself can go straight to symptoms and treatment. The first visit also screens bone, breast, cognition, heart, mood, sleep and genitourinary health, and anything needing a specialist is handed to another UCLA clinician rather than managed in the menopause clinic. Hormone therapy is offered alongside non-hormonal options such as gabapentin and fezolinetant, and the program schedules a yearly health assessment after that. Outside menopause she has a particular interest in women planning a trial of labor after a cesarean, and she was the lead gynecologist on UCLA trials using estriol in multiple sclerosis.
Pamela Neff is an OB/GYN at THE Health and Wellness Centers, a federally funded community clinic group with five health centers around south Los Angeles that has been seeing patients since 1974. The clinic takes people regardless of ability to pay or immigration status, and its own pages cover gynecology, family planning and prenatal care rather than menopause. Her menopause practice is published through Gennev, a virtual menopause service where she sees California, New Jersey and Pennsylvania patients by video. She names perimenopause, menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency and breast cancer risk or survivorship among what she handles. Before Los Angeles she practiced nearly twenty years in Philadelphia, doing minimally invasive surgery and training OB/GYN residents. She says she listens first to what a patient has already been through with health care, then works out a plan with her.
Ann Hofstadter has run this gynecology practice in Westwood since 1996 and is an attending physician at Cedars Sinai Medical Center. The practice covers general gynecology, preventative and adolescent care, abnormal pap smears, osteoporosis and perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms. Payment is due at the time of the visit, and anyone on Medicare signs a form first saying they understand Medicare will pay nothing toward this care. Appointments are requested by email rather than booked online, and the office posts separate charges for phone and Zoom consultations, forms and prior authorizations. The site says all profits are donated to charity and names the groups that receive them, among them Planned Parenthood and the Rape Treatment Center.
Women to Women is a two doctor obstetrics and gynecology practice in a medical office building on San Vicente Boulevard in Los Angeles. Christina Adberg runs it with one other physician. The website is a single page about directions, parking and billing rather than about the care, so it names no treatments anywhere. What the practice handles shows up mainly in its billing policy, which has separate sections for surgery, pregnancy and fertility treatment. New patients start by downloading the registration and policy forms the practice posts online. The office does not validate parking and says so plainly on its own front page.
Rachel Frankenthal is a physician assistant in UCLA Health's gynecologic oncology practice in Westwood, and she also sees patients at the Westlake Village OBGYN office. Most of her work is with women who have gynecologic cancers or a high inherited risk of them. She started UCLA's menopause clinic for gynecologic cancer survivors and is the cancer survivorship provider for the health system's menopause program. For survivors pushed into early menopause by treatment, the program says it goes through both hormonal and non-hormonal options alongside lifestyle changes. She is also a certified yoga and pilates instructor, and she teaches the free weekly online yoga and meditation class for gynecologic cancer survivors. New patients start with a request-an-appointment form on her UCLA profile.
