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. Sungurlu is a gynecologist who serves as a woman's main doctor, covering primary care and gynecology in one office in San Luis Obispo. The practice runs as an MDVIP concierge membership with a small patient panel, same or next-day appointments, and phone access to her after hours and on weekends. Membership includes a yearly women's health workup with heart risk testing, bone health and hormone testing, and screening for depression and anxiety. She puts a lot of weight on prevention and talks with patients about sleep, exercise, hormonal health and cutting back medications where it is safe. You see her at every visit rather than a nurse practitioner or physician assistant. She has practiced in San Luis Obispo for over a decade and offers telehealth visits when you can't come in.
Dr. Long runs a newly opened direct primary care practice in Laguna Niguel. He is a board-certified family doctor with a fellowship in integrative medicine, so menopause care is one part of what he does for adults rather than the whole practice. Hormone therapy evaluation and ongoing dose changes come with the monthly membership, with no separate charge for those visits. He keeps his patient list small and says visits run 45 to 60 minutes, and members call or text him directly instead of going through a front desk. He is fluent in English and Spanish and has training in addiction medicine.
The GYN Lounge is a small gynecology practice in Fresno that Dr. Ikedilo built around perimenopause and menopause care. Most visits happen by video anywhere in California, though the office also does in-person procedures like endometrial ablation, vaginal laser and PRP injections. New patients book a perimenopause or menopause consultation online, fill out history and consent forms beforehand, and get a written cost estimate before the visit. On hormones she lays out both compounded bioidentical options and FDA-approved ones and explains the trade-offs of each, after bloodwork that checks sex hormones, thyroid and metabolic markers. She trained in OB/GYN in Baltimore, spent a year practicing alongside her father in rural Jamaica, and her first four years in California were at a federally qualified health center. A physician assistant who focuses on menopause and hormone therapy sees patients too, so some appointments are with her rather than with Dr. Ikedilo.
Dr. Taylor runs A Woman's Wellspring on her own in Carmel and has worked in the area for more than three decades. She works as both a gynecologist and a primary care doctor, so menopause care, the annual exam and general health all happen in the same visit. Every appointment is booked for a full hour, which she writes about as slow medicine and treats as the whole point of the practice. Patients join what she calls a medical cooperative by paying an annual fee, and then pay for each visit at the time of service. The fee also covers her Mini-Medical School, six Zoom seminars a year on topics members choose in a survey. New patients start with a personal practice orientation, while established patients can book online.
Dr. Cernaianu is a board-certified OB/GYN who also holds board certification in anti-aging and integrative medicine, and she runs a concierge practice alongside a separate med spa. Hormone care is a core service, and she prescribes FDA-approved estrogen, progesterone and testosterone products as well as compounded creams and pellets. She is upfront about which routes insurance covers and which are paid out of pocket. Her site says hormone follow-ups run about three times a year, and she avoids writing a year of refills at once. She also evaluates thyroid and adrenal concerns and treats urinary incontinence. Her training began in Bucharest, and she was the first foreign medical graduate admitted to the LSU residency program.
Female Focused is a telehealth-only practice started by four friends, and Dr. Bernstein-Lawler is one of the founders. New patients begin with a long video visit and then follow up every four weeks to three months, depending on what is being treated. There is a separate visit for cancer survivors who want to explore hormone or non-hormonal options based on their cancer history. The founders say they share a commitment to breast cancer survivorship. The practice does not offer hormone pellets because it says the FDA has not approved them. Everything is virtual with no physical exams, so you are expected to keep your own primary care doctor and gynecologist.
Dr. Davis trained in pediatric emergency medicine and child abuse pediatrics, and her own perimenopause led her to open this menopause practice. She prescribes FDA-approved hormone therapy and doesn't stop it by default at 60 or 65. The first visit runs 50 minutes. After you start hormones there's a required check-in about two months later, then one visit a year once your dose is settled. Most care happens by video for women who are in California at the time of the visit, and the San Diego office also sees patients in person. The practice doesn't act as your primary care office, so you need your own doctor for routine care.
Dr. Banks is a board-certified psychiatrist who treats hormone-related mood and sleep problems alongside her regular psychiatry work. Many of her patients are midlife women who come in for something like ADHD or insomnia, and she looks at what hormones may be adding to it. She orders labs when they are indicated and in many cases prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. She also uses non-drug approaches such as supplements and lifestyle changes, and offers ketamine for some mental health care. Visits run longer than the usual 15 minutes, she keeps her panel small so appointments are not months away, and a new patient evaluation is spread over two to three sessions. Care is in person in Oakland or by video for patients anywhere in California.
FemGevity is a virtual women's health service that works alongside a patient's own doctor, and Dr. Abrahams is its menopause medical advisor. He sees patients himself by video, starting with a 45 minute consult about symptoms and hormone levels. Care starts with testing, usually a hormone panel of more than 100 biomarkers, with gut, micronutrient or genomic panels added when they are useful. Treatment can run from standard prescriptions to custom bioidentical compounds, and he describes his approach as conventional medicine combined with complementary care. He is a Harvard-trained gynecologist who also treats endometriosis, PMS and fibroids, and he still works part time for the Department of Veterans Affairs in New York and at Hackensack University Hospital in New Jersey. FemGevity's main menopause program runs through partner doctors' offices, where the blood draw is done, so it helps to have a doctor of your own.
A physician-led longevity and performance practice based in Seattle, where the practitioner is medical director. Care begins with an in-person day in the Seattle area for baseline diagnostics, covering over a hundred biomarkers, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, continuous glucose monitoring, genomics and multi-cancer screening. It then moves to quarterly labs and structured medical reviews, with follow-ups virtual or in person. A women's track is described for perimenopause, menopause and after, with hormone and metabolic diagnostics and ongoing telehealth support, and physicians provide prescriptions and referrals as clinically appropriate.
Dr. Anyaoku founded Hibiscus Aesthetics and Wellness in Katy and is the only clinician there. Hormone care starts with a wide lab panel rather than a symptom questionnaire, and she orders markers like free T3, DHEA-S and fasting insulin that a standard physical skips. She prescribes bioidentical hormones as patches, creams, injections or pills, and no page on the site mentions pellets. She is also a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, so weight and hormone questions get handled in the same visit. Aesthetic treatments happen in person at the Katy clinic, while hormone, weight and longevity care can be done by video in 23 states. You pay per visit and there is no membership or package.
Evermore Women's Health is Kristen Wolfe's own clinic and she is the only clinician named on the site. Care runs as a membership with a capped panel of about 200 patients, and most members are seen every four to eight weeks. Before founding Evermore she was clinical director for a national women's health telehealth company, and she says she is most useful to women who have been told elsewhere that their case is too complicated for hormone therapy. She prescribes systemic and vaginal estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and uses non-hormonal drugs such as Addyi and Vyleesi for low desire. Nothing is sold in the office, so there is no supplement line and no proprietary lab panel. She does not do surgery or pregnancy care and refers those out, and she does not manage hormone therapy for gender transition.
Dr. Saadatmand is a reproductive psychiatrist at a women's mental health group practice in Walnut Creek. She treats the mood, anxiety, sleep and sexual health side of perimenopause, and her care may include medication, supplements, lab testing and therapy. Hormone therapy is not among the tools her own bio names, so this is a place for perimenopausal mood and sleep rather than hot flush treatment. Care starts with a long intake visit and continues with follow-ups with the same psychiatrist, mostly by video. The free first phone call is with the founder, who then matches you with one of the psychiatrists. New patients currently join a waitlist.
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.
Giese has been an OB/GYN at Kaiser Permanente's Delta Fair Medical Offices in Antioch since she finished her residency in 2003. She works only in the outpatient clinic now and does outpatient gyn procedures, after years of labor and delivery and gynecologic surgery in the hospital. Menopause and midlife health is one of the topics she names as common in her practice, along with hormone therapy for menopause symptoms. Kaiser prescribes FDA-approved bioidentical estradiol and progesterone from its own pharmacies and advises against compounded hormone prescriptions, so that is the route to hormones here. She grew up in the East Bay and sees patients in Spanish, and she is board certified in lifestyle medicine on top of obstetrics and gynecology. She is also the physician site lead for the Delta Fair building, which means she works with every department in it.
Banner Peak Health is a four physician concierge practice in Walnut Creek, and Klein is the one who carries the Menopause Society certification. Care runs on an annual membership that covers unlimited visits and direct access to your own doctor by cell phone at any hour. New members start with a phone call to the practice director, then an unhurried meeting with the physician they would see, then a baseline assessment that can run two hours. Writing about perimenopause, Klein says she rules out thyroid problems, IBS, SIBO and gastroparesis before she looks at hormones, because the symptom cluster gets missed for years while a woman is sent from one specialist to the next. For treatment she describes an estrogen patch with oral progesterone, sometimes a progesterone IUD for endometrial protection, and a small amount of testosterone when it helps. She spent ten years in internal medicine at John Muir Medical Center and left because that setting gave her no time to be present with patients.
Sacramento Women's Health is a seven-physician OB/GYN partnership on Fair Oaks Boulevard, running in the same practice line since 1960. Dr. Mikacich joined in 2009 and is the one the practice names as its menopause and weight loss specialist, and she is also a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. The services list says menopause management here uses FDA approved bioidenticals. She finished a master's in public health at UC Berkeley in 2024 focused on food and nutrition, and she describes her own practice as centered on menopause and metabolic health. She has been a medical consultant for Grey's Anatomy since 2005 and co-founded a perinatal mental health program in Denver before moving home to Sacramento. New patients call the office and bring a completed paper packet to the first visit, and she speaks fluent Spanish.
Dr. Meagan runs a virtual-only menopause practice for women who live in California. She turned to perimenopause care after nearly 20 years in medicine, when more and more patients, friends and family kept asking her about it. Care starts with an hour-long video visit where she goes over your symptoms, past care and prescriptions, then sets a plan with follow-up visits to adjust it. She prescribes hormone therapy in whatever form you prefer. She also offers weight care with DEXA scans and GLP-1 medication, plus ketamine and psychedelic medicine for sleep, anxiety and mood. She does not act as your primary doctor or gynecologist, so you still need your own for exams and pap smears.
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.
Dr. Coe is a UCLA-trained gynecologist and has been a Menopause Society certified practitioner since 2012. Menopause care here means systemic and vaginal hormone therapy, with lifestyle changes, pelvic floor physical therapy and psychological support added when they fit. She also does general gynecology, sexual health and preventive primary care, and she is trained in vulvoscopy for vulvar conditions like vulvodynia. She stepped back from practice for years to look after her family, living in Montana and London, and finished a master's in health policy before reopening her Newport Beach office. Visits can be in the office or by phone or video, and new patients request an appointment through the office and get portal access before the first visit.
Dr. Beddow runs a solo OB/GYN office in San Mateo and has been practicing in the Bay Area for over two decades. She was on faculty at Stanford before returning to private practice. The office covers the full range of obstetrics and gynecology, so menopause and hormone evaluation sits alongside pregnancy care and surgical gyn work rather than being the whole practice. She is a mother of twins herself and says that gives her a particular bond with other twin mothers. New patients book online and the office confirms the appointment the next business day. Video visits appear on her schedule for established patients only, so a first appointment means going in.
Dr. O'Neill is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist who also holds the Menopause Society's NCMP certificate. Menopause is one of several services at her small practice, alongside general gynecology, fertility, obstetrics and acupuncture. This is a general ob-gyn office, not a menopause-only clinic, and she admits to two San Jose hospitals for surgery and deliveries. The office is in a historic house in Campbell, and new patients fill out a history questionnaire before the first visit. Appointments are booked through an online scheduling page. The site does not say which menopause treatments she prescribes.
