Dr. Fagan owns Four Mile Creek Health, a small direct primary care practice in Boulder where she is a family doctor to her members. Hormone therapy is handled inside that primary care relationship, alongside weight and metabolic health, rather than as a separate menopause program. Visits run 45 minutes, and members can reach her by text, phone or email and see her in person or remotely. Her interest in hormones goes back a long way, since her master's thesis was on bioidentical transdermal hormone therapy. Her panel is full, so new patients are booked onto her calendar and the first visit may be several months away. A free 15-minute meet and greet comes before joining.
A solo nurse-practitioner practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, covering sexual health, metabolic and weight care, bone health and cardiovascular risk. Men are seen for weight management only. Care runs on a direct-pay membership after a 75-minute first visit, with 45-minute follow-ups as often as needed, direct messaging, lab ordering and interpretation including bone density scans, and prescriptions sent to the patient's chosen pharmacy. Visits are in person in Boulder or by video anywhere in Colorado. The practice prescribes bioidentical and generic FDA-approved hormones with occasional compounding, and declines to use pellets because the dose cannot be adjusted once inserted.
Dr. Price is a gynecologist at Boulder Women's Care, the hospital-run OB/GYN group at Boulder Community Health. She is the one doctor the hospital lists specifically for menopause care, and she also delivers babies and handles general gynecology. Menopause treatment there can include lifestyle changes, non-hormonal options and individualized hormone therapy. She sees patients in Boulder and at a second office in Erie. New patients can book online through the hospital's portal, which starts them with an annual gynecology visit. Patient reviews mention that she takes time to work through whether hormone therapy is a good fit.
Colleen Grady is a nurse practitioner and chief of operations at Rocky Mountain Regenerative Medicine, a Boulder longevity and regenerative-medicine clinic, where she works clinically with women in perimenopause and menopause and is one of two providers running Thrive, the practice's women's hormone program. Thrive is deliberately narrow. The practice states it focuses only on female hormone health and is not primary care or a whole-body health-optimization plan, and it runs pay-as-you-go rather than on the clinic's annual memberships. Care begins with a full lab panel and a 90-minute lab-review visit that produces a written therapy plan, with follow-ups in person or by telemedicine and a free online education series. Hormone protocols are lab-guided and use bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone in both FDA-approved and compounded formulations.
Boulder Women's Clinic is an independent gynecology practice in Boulder that stopped delivering babies in 2000 so it could concentrate on gynecologic care. Jennifer Stanzel has been a physician assistant for more than 30 years and joined the clinic in 2006, after starting out in family practice and internal medicine. Her stated interests include menopausal hormone therapy, adolescent gynecology, contraception counseling and management of abnormal Pap smears, and she has about 20 years of experience placing IUDs and Nexplanon implants. The practice treats perimenopausal and postmenopausal symptoms with hormone replacement therapy as well as non-hormonal options, and it also works on bone loss, breast health and cardiovascular health through the transition. It says it is the only gynecology practice in Boulder offering the MonaLisa Touch fractional CO2 laser, which it uses for vaginal dryness, painful sex, repeat infections and urinary incontinence in women who cannot or would rather not use hormones. New patients fill out a paper form before the first visit, and the clinic says its providers can often fit people in the same day or the same week.
Dr. Kim is a board certified obstetrician gynecologist who now runs a consultation practice at the Joy Collective in Boulder and also sees patients by video. She has given up performing surgery and attending deliveries so that visits can be longer, and a first appointment runs 60 to 90 minutes. Her menopause and perimenopause work covers hot flashes, mood, genital and urinary symptoms, brain fog, sleep, and hormone and weight concerns, though the site does not name the treatments she uses. She also sees teenagers, pregnant and postpartum patients and people going through fertility treatment, and she manages depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction with mindfulness practices alongside prescribing. Her approach comes from training as a Mindfulness Based Childbirth and Parenting instructor, and she teaches small mindfulness groups as well as seeing patients. Anyone new can start with a free fifteen minute meet and greet by phone or video.
