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.
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.
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.
