Dr. Correa is an internist who runs a small membership primary care practice in Newport Beach, capped at about 100 patients. Menopause care is part of her ongoing primary care rather than a separate program, and she is also board certified in obesity medicine and has prescribed GLP-1 medicines since 2018. Before starting her own practice in 2023 she helped build the midlife women's health program at Hoag. Visits usually run 30 to 60 minutes, members reach her directly, and she will visit patients admitted to Hoag hospitals. The practice takes new members only about half of each year, so a new patient may have to wait for the next opening. People who are not members can book a single long consult with a follow-up by video or in person.
Dr. Howe is a board certified OB/GYN at a small Newport Beach practice she runs with a second OB/GYN and several physician assistants. The practice covers the full span of gynecology, and perimenopause and menopause care sit alongside hormone testing, osteoporosis and bladder problems. Her particular interest is chronic pelvic pain, which she researched at UCLA and treats both medically and surgically. Before moving to Orange County she chaired an OB/GYN department in Ventura County and built a clinic there that included menopause management. She speaks Spanish. Visits are in the office and billed through insurance, and patients without insurance pay at the time of service.
Pause for Rest is Dr Khavarian's solo practice in Newport Beach, built around menopause and the insomnia that often comes with it. She is a board certified internist who moved into women's health after years of managing general medicine, and she names menopausal care and the treatment of insomnia as her own focus. Care starts with an evaluation of what is driving the sleep disruption and the other midlife symptoms, and from there she uses hormonal or non-hormonal treatment plans. The site gives a long section to how progesterone calms the brain and steadies body temperature, which is the clearest statement of how she thinks about hormones. There is also a separate Midlife Clarity Consultation for women who feel unlike themselves and want a longer conversation before deciding anything. The practice sells two of its own sleep and calm supplements through its website.
