Menopause Society Certified Practitioners in Colorado
160 practitioners have an office in Colorado, and 121 more can see patients here by telehealth. 185 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Denver, Aurora and Boulder.
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.
Damara Andreoli is a certified nurse midwife in the OB-GYN clinic at Denver Health, the city's large public hospital system. The midwife team there sees women for well visits and gynaecologic care through menopause, and they work alongside the hospital's physicians. She sees patients at the main campus clinic in central Denver. Phone and video visits are offered for most gynaecology appointments, but only to patients living in Colorado. New patients can book online through the hospital's scheduling system, and interpreters are available for every language. The hospital's site does not say what she prescribes, and its provider pages publish no biography or conditions list for any of its midwives or OB-GYN physicians.
Eleanor Diamse is a nurse practitioner at Harmony HRT, a small Grand Junction clinic that works only on hormone and thyroid care. She came to hormone medicine after more than a decade as a chemical engineer at Intel and then years as a hospital and home health nurse practitioner, and she says she has been a dismissed patient herself. The clinic prescribes only hormones it describes as biologically identical, which it names as estradiol, progesterone and testosterone rather than the synthetic versions, and it draws blood for lab panels in its own office. Care is sold as a twelve month package of appointments and lab panels rather than one visit at a time, and each year includes a required in person visit with follow ups by video. Eleanor tells patients it is never too early or too late to be seen, and that perimenopause symptoms can begin years before periods stop. Appointments are arranged by calling the clinic, because there is no online calendar for individual providers.
Michelle Barhaghi is the only doctor listed at The Group for Women, a small obstetrics and gynecology office in Aurora. The practice lists its services under headings that include yearly exams, family planning, pregnancy care, mid-life woman changes and gynecologic surgery, and the mid-life heading covers bladder control problems and management of perimenopausal and menopausal concerns. She is a certified Biote provider, and the hormone care is described as the Biote Method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. She is double board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and in integrative medicine, and she says she weighs lifestyle, environment and relationships when considering treatment options. Much of her surgical work is minimally invasive treatment of fibroids, ovarian cysts and other pelvic disorders, and she names endometriosis as a special interest. She grew up in Aurora and went to school here before training in New York and New Orleans, and she also displays a certification in treating urinary incontinence with the InTone device.
Online Benign Gyne is Dr. Todd's own telehealth practice, and every visit happens by video. She sees women for contraception, breast concerns, vaginal and vulva problems, menopause and facial skin care, and consultations and referrals are part of what she offers. Her site carries long plain-language explainers on hormone therapy, PCOS, urinary infections and breast exams. She is a New Orleans native and a military veteran who served during Operation Desert Storm and later at Walter Reed Medical Center. She says she especially enjoys caring for older women because she has faced the same changes herself. New patients can pick a video slot through the practice's own online scheduler.
Dr. Dombo is a board-certified OB-GYN who is going through the menopausal transition herself. She says starting hormone therapy and changing her nutrition and supplements took her from exhaustion and poor sleep back to enjoying life, and that is why she does this work. She trained in the early 2000s, when hormone therapy was widely feared, and now calls it the gold standard for symptom relief. The first visit runs 60 minutes and covers medical and gynecologic history, medications, nutrition and exercise, then a personal treatment plan. The visit also lists a nutritionist assessment, an exercise plan and mindset coaching, and follow-ups run 25 minutes. She writes publicly about why menopause hits Black women harder and how often they face barriers to care.
She is the only OB-GYN at Intermountain Health's East Crossroads Clinic in Aurora, so the women's health care there is hers. Alongside general gynecology and obstetrics she takes menopause visits through Intermountain's menopause program, which is built for women roughly 35 to 65 with perimenopausal or postmenopausal symptoms. You fill in a symptom questionnaire first, then get 30 to 60 minutes to go through symptoms and leave with a care plan, and the program says a physical exam usually is not needed. Follow-ups are half an hour, and the program runs both video and in-office appointments. She works with FDA-approved hormone therapy and non-hormonal medication, and adds lifestyle and wellness counseling. She grew up in Parker, came back to Denver for her residency at Saint Joseph Hospital, and her other main interest is minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
Julie Homann is a nurse practitioner at The Women's Clinic of Northern Colorado, a practice running since 1965 with offices in Loveland and Fort Collins. She holds the Menopause Society Certified Practitioner credential, and hers is one of only two biographies on the clinic's team pages that names it. The clinic cares for perimenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal women and says its hormone therapy comes as a pill, gel, cream, patch or spray, with vaginal products in cream, tablet or ring form. It also runs hormone testing by blood, saliva or urine, bone density scanning and osteoporosis care, and it presents non-hormonal routes including prescription medicine, diet and exercise. The clinic advertises MonaLisa Touch laser treatment for vaginal dryness, though its procedures page lists that among the work its OB/GYN physicians perform. Appointments are asked for through a form on the site and a patient representative calls back within two business days.
