519 practitioners have an office in California, and 126 more can see patients here by telehealth. 386 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in San Francisco, Newport Beach and San Diego.
Dr. Bernardy is a family physician who runs a direct primary care practice in south Charlotte with one other doctor. Membership covers unlimited office visits of 30 to 60 minutes, direct messaging, and phone or video visits, with same-day or next-day appointments. Menopause care sits inside her general women's health work alongside Pap smears, pelvic exams and birth control. She spent years as national medical director for an employer-based primary care company and taught residents at the University of Colorado. The office has its own pharmacy with medicines at wholesale prices and a physician-supervised weight program. You can book a free video meet and greet with her before joining.
Pacific Menopause is a virtual clinic Dr. Ammerman built to do one thing, which is midlife and menopause care by video. New patient visits run a full 60 minutes, and follow ups are usually booked two to three months later and then spaced out to once a year once symptoms settle. She prescribes FDA approved hormone therapy and testosterone, and she spells out that this means bioidentical hormones such as estradiol and progesterone, which have the same molecular structure as the hormones the body makes. Non hormonal prescriptions are there for women who cannot take hormones or would rather avoid them. Weight is her second focus, and she prescribes both oral and injectable weight loss medication alongside work on nutrition, activity and behaviour. She also owns a gynecology clinic in Kahului, so patients on Maui can choose to see her there in person instead.
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.
Dr. Satmary is an OB-GYN in Los Angeles with more than twenty years of clinical experience, and she sees Gennev patients by video. Her own areas include chronic pelvic pain, menopause and sexual health, and she holds extra certification in sexual health and lifestyle medicine. She has written book chapters and articles in her field, and she works part time as a medical advisor and reviewer for Healthline Media. Her approach is to listen to your concerns and history first, then go through every treatment option in full. Her page lists licences in Arizona and California, so she sees patients living in those two states. There is no office to visit, and anyone wanting an in-person OB-GYN is sent to a separate network.
She is a urologist with fellowship training in sexual medicine who opened this practice in 2022 because short appointments left no room to hear a patient's whole story. She sees patients of all genders for arousal, orgasm and libido concerns, pelvic and genital pain, recurrent urinary infections and menopause. Vaginal estrogen is the treatment her practice leans on hardest for genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and her office helped get the boxed warning removed from low dose vaginal estrogen. The practice prescribes FDA approved medications and treatments unless one does not exist. New patients join an interest list rather than booking a slot, and the form lets you name a preferred physician from among her four colleagues but not her. Enough patients travel in from other cities that the site keeps a page of nearby hotels and airports.
Dr. Milovina is a board-certified ob/gyn who has run a private practice in Beverly Hills since 2002. Menopause care sits alongside her general gynecology and obstetrics work, and she sees women of all ages. For menopause she offers hormone testing, bio-identical hormone therapy, vaginal estrogen, vaginal DHEA and vaginal hyaluronic acid. The office also has a CO2 vaginal laser and a pelvic floor chair for urinary incontinence, so those treatments happen on site. Many of her patients have been with her since she opened, and she sometimes cares for several generations of one family. New patients start by calling the office.
MOOV El Dorado Hills is a physician-run longevity and aesthetics studio, one of nine MOOV locations. Dr. Braxley spent her career in emergency medicine before moving into longevity work, and she says her own health experience is what pushed her to change direction. Her focus is women, and she puts hormone therapy together with weight loss and everyday lifestyle changes. New patients usually start with a short virtual consult that works out which labs to run, and the plan is built from those results. The studio also does skin treatments, heart risk testing and GLP-1 weight programs, so hormone care sits alongside a lot of other services rather than being the whole practice. She is finishing board certification in obesity medicine in late 2026.
Dr. Hoang runs a small solo gynecology practice in San Jose and has cared for women in the South Bay for more than twelve years. Her menopause program starts with a long first conversation about symptoms, health history, hormones and lifestyle. She offers hormone therapy when it fits, along with non-hormonal medicines, supplements and help with sleep and stress. She is also board certified in obesity medicine, so weight gain and metabolic health in midlife get real attention, and she runs a separate physician-led weight program that can include GLP-1 medicines. Patients can reach the office by phone or text between visits, and same-day or same-week appointments are often available. Many long-time patients first saw her for routine gynecology or pregnancy care.
Adams directs Stanford's menopause program and sees patients at the gynecology clinic in Palo Alto. The program offers in person consults, video consults, and video group visits. She is board certified in both obstetrics and gynecology and in lifestyle medicine, so diet, exercise and sleep come up alongside hormone therapy. Before Stanford she spent 14 years as residency program director at OHSU in Oregon, where she also ran the menopause and sexual medicine program. She hosts the program's podcast and gave a TEDx talk called Sleep, Sex, and Menopausal Zest. The program writes to its patients about practical problems like the estradiol patch shortage.
818GYN is a one doctor gynecology practice in Woodland Hills, started by the father of Dr. Taras in 1968 and still in the same place. Obstetrics stopped in 2006 so the focus could move to menopausal hormone management and minimally invasive surgery, and the practice no longer delivers babies. The line on hormones is that one pill does not fit all, so traditional hormone replacement, bioidentical hormones through compounding pharmacy partners and pellets are all on offer. New patients fill in registration forms online, and anyone coming in only for pellets has a separate form to complete. Visits are charged by how long they take, whether in the office or by video or email, and the office says an appointment can run five minutes or fifty five. Dr. Taras also ran a large breast and ovarian cancer fundraising team for years and once wrapped a pink Tesla so donors could sign it.
Dr. Bassett is an integrative and functional medicine physician who spent over 15 years in emergency medicine before opening this practice. Care starts with a 90-minute assessment, in person in Walnut Creek or by video, followed by a health coach visit. Patients who are a good fit can join a 12-month membership with regular visits and direct messaging. She is a consultant only and patients must keep their own primary care doctor.
Dr. Han sees gynecology patients only and has narrowed her practice to women going through menopause. She says many of them come to her after feeling unheard or dismissed elsewhere. She describes care as a partnership where the patient has a voice in decisions. She works within Orange Coast Women's Medical Group, a large OB/GYN group with offices across south Orange County, and she sees patients in Irvine and Laguna Hills. The group's menopause page describes hormone therapy as pills, patches or vaginal creams, and lists non-hormonal options too. She earned a Master of Public Health at Harvard in 2023, focused on how social connection shapes health habits.
Peninsula Doctor is a small concierge family medicine practice in Menlo Park, and each physician there keeps a panel of about 100 patients. Dr. Kim is the clinician the practice names for perimenopause and menopause, and she works through hormone therapy options with women and handles the monitoring that follows. Her menopause care sits inside regular primary care, so one visit can cover bone density, heart risk and the weight and metabolism changes of midlife. Membership runs for a year and covers visits, in-office blood draws and most in-office lab work, plus twelve visits with the practice nutritionist. Members can reach their physician by phone, text or video, and the practice recommends coming into the office when an exam or testing would help. Two things to know before joining are that the practice does not prescribe ongoing controlled substances, and that anyone who is Medicare eligible signs a private Medicare contract to become a member.
Chronis is a family medicine doctor at the Cedars-Sinai primary care office on South Fairmount Avenue in Pasadena, which sits inside Huntington Health. Her group's list of doctors taking new patients marks her as a certified menopause practitioner, and she is the only one of the six doctors at that office carrying that note. A colleague at the same office is marked as a hormone replacement specialist, so midlife patients there have two doctors to pick from. She sees patients in the office and by video, and a new patient can book an office visit, a physical or a video visit online. Her Cedars-Sinai profile carries no biography and no list of conditions, so nothing is published about how she handles hormone therapy. Her online booking showed limited availability for a first visit.
Radiant Women's Health is a small concierge practice in Menlo Park where Dr. Kassis is the gynecologist. Care runs on a membership, so the fee covers her visits and members can call, text or email her directly. New members start with a free consultation, then a long intake visit with lab work, then ongoing appointments in the office or by video. She trained in obstetrics and gynecology at Stanford and later spent eight years at a county hospital doing high volume surgery and obstetrics. When she joined Palo Alto Medical Foundation in 2019 she trained under a longtime menopause specialist who handed over her practice on retiring, and she began having perimenopause symptoms herself around the same time. She has taken extra coursework on hormone therapy for breast cancer survivors, and the practice keeps a dietitian and a pelvic floor physical therapist in house.
Dr. Mullin is one of three doctors at San Diego Women's Health, an OB/GYN practice with offices in La Jolla and Encinitas. Her bio says she is menopause certified and enjoys helping women through perimenopause and the years after. Menopause management sits alongside the rest of her work, which runs from low and high-risk pregnancies to minimally invasive surgery for fibroids and endometriosis. The practice also treats pelvic pain and urinary incontinence, and it screens for and treats osteoporosis. Hormones here can come as BioTE pellets, placed under the skin so the dose stays steady rather than rising and falling the way pills and creams do. She trained at Naval Medical Center San Diego and has practiced abroad in both developed and developing countries, and visits are in person at one of the two offices.
Dr. Eilber is a urogynecologist and pelvic surgeon who runs a small membership practice in Beverly Hills, with menopause care as one part of it. She suits women whose midlife symptoms include leaking, urgency, recurrent UTIs, prolapse or painful sex, because she treats the bladder and pelvic floor side herself. She prescribes hormone therapy and non-hormonal options, and checks bone health with density screening in the office. Membership starts with a long annual exam and covers up to five follow-up visits a year, in person or by video. Up to three energy-based vaginal treatments such as Morpheus8V are included each year. New patients start with a call with a membership advisor.
Dr. Gonzalez is an OB-GYN with Sutter Medical Group in Elk Grove and sees women of all ages. Her profile lists menopause and perimenopause among the conditions she treats, and she holds the Menopause Society certification. Most of what her page describes is gynecologic surgery, and she favors minimally invasive options such as robotic hysterectomy, myomectomy and endometrial ablation when surgery is needed. She says she puts weight on preventing gynecologic cancers and conditions. Her page does not say which menopause treatments she prescribes. Visits are in person only, she speaks conversational Spanish, and new patients book through the Sutter site or by phone.
Dr. Lane is a urogynecologist who leads gynecology and menopause care at The Practice Healthcare, a Beverly Hills practice best known for plastic surgery and a medspa. Bladder leaks, prolapse and painful sex are at the center of her work, and she treats them alongside hot flashes and other menopause symptoms. She prescribes standard and bioidentical hormone therapy and vaginal estrogen, and testosterone for low libido when it is indicated. For women who have had cancer, she gives hormone guidance when the usual options are off the table and works with their oncology team. Care starts with a consultation that reviews your history and goals, and surgery is rarely her first recommendation.
Sharon Orrange is a primary care internist with Keck Signature Care, the concierge medicine program of Keck Medicine of USC, and she sees patients at its Beverly Hills office. Menopause hormone therapy is one of her research subjects, along with GLP-1 drugs, prediabetes and metabolic syndrome. Care splits between annual wellness visits, which cover screening and risk counseling, and primary care visits for chronic conditions and immediate problems. She is a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, so weight and metabolic health sit inside her everyday practice rather than in a separate program. The Beverly Hills office keeps weekday daytime hours and offers telehealth appointments. She also studies telemedicine in primary care and how drug prices affect whether patients keep taking their medicines, which is an unusual thing for a working primary care doctor to spend time on.
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.
Dr. Rahi runs a solo med spa on Rodeo Drive called The Aesthetic Room, where cosmetic treatments sit alongside hormone and weight care. She trained in internal medicine and calls her practice integrative aesthetics, and she expects hormone patients to combine that care with her peptide and IV treatments. For hormones she uses bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and she also adjusts thyroid and cortisol, starting with lab testing and following up with monitoring. Her own FAQ says delivery can be a cream, an injection or a pellet depending on your needs. The weight program runs on semaglutide and tirzepatide, and she offers a non-surgical vaginal treatment using radiofrequency, laser or platelet-rich plasma for post-menopausal dryness and mild stress incontinence. The only appointment you can book with her by name online is a Zoom consultation, and the rest of the care starts from there.
Dr. Harris is a gynecologist who runs a small concierge-style practice in Newport Beach centered on bioidentical hormones. She is a strong believer in hormone pellets and has used them for more than twenty years, though she also offers other bioidentical options. Care starts with a one-on-one consultation and hormone testing. The practice also runs a weight program built around GLP-1 medication alongside hormone balance. It treats men as well as women and offers aesthetic and PRP procedures, so hormones are one part of a wider anti-aging menu.
Dr. Harris is a gynecologist who has cared for women in the Inland Empire since 1990 and opened this practice in 2015 after years in large multi-specialty groups. She left that setting because visits felt rushed, and her own practice is built around longer first visits where she listens and explains. Hormone care leans heavily on bioidentical options. She uses SottoPelle pellets placed in the office and also prescribes creams, troches, suppositories and vaginal treatments. Your first hormone visit is in person in Corona, and qualifying follow-ups can be done by video. She also sees hormone patients and places pellets at a smaller satellite office in Indian Wells, and she treats men's hormones too.
