Menopause Specialists Who Accept Insurance in District of Columbia
30 practitioners have an office in District of Columbia, and 81 more can see patients here by telehealth. 71 of them are certified by the Menopause Society.
Tammie Blair sees patients through Midi Health, a virtual women's health clinic that works by video only. She focuses on the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause, and names weight shifts, poor sleep, mood changes and painful sex as the symptoms those changes drive. A first visit runs about 30 minutes and ends with a written care plan, and follow-ups are shorter check-ins you can book as often as you need. Midi's hormone options are FDA-approved patches, pills, gels, creams and sprays, and a plan can also include vaginal estrogen, non-hormone prescriptions and GLP-1 medication. There is no office to visit, so Midi refers out anything that needs an exam such as a mammogram and asks you to keep seeing your own regular doctors. Her own page on the site has a booking link that starts a new patient with her.
Capital Women's Care DC is a group OB-GYN practice near Foggy Bottom, and Dr. Bajaj is the managing partner of the Washington office. She spent nearly two decades doing both obstetrics and gynecology, then stopped obstetrics in 2022 to practice gynecology only, with perimenopause and menopause as her focus. She says she wants to close the knowledge gap around hormone replacement therapy, and she writes publicly about women's health on a site of her own. You book online or by phone, and appointments can be in person or by video. Alongside menopause care the office does in-office procedures and minimally invasive gyn surgery, so a woman who needs both can stay in one place. Worth knowing is that the practice says an annual well-woman visit with the doctor of your choice usually takes one to three months to get.
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.
Catherine Scaletta sees patients by video through Midi Health, which lists her as a clinical leader. She is a women's health nurse practitioner who spent most of her career in outpatient OB-GYN offices, with a focus on sexual and reproductive health and breast care. She says she has cared for women in perimenopause, menopause and after menopause for fourteen years. A close family member went through triple-negative breast cancer in her early thirties, and helping her through a mastectomy, reconstruction and chemotherapy shaped how she thinks about individual care. She says the part she cares about most is building trust over time and meeting each woman where she is. Her page has no booking link of her own, so the Midi sign-up does not let a new patient choose her by name.
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.
Jo'Ann Jackson is an obstetrician gynecologist at Reiter, Hill & Johnson of Advantia, a women's health group with offices in Washington and Northern Virginia. She joined the practice in 2006 and is now one of its physician managers, and she sees patients at the Washington and Falls Church offices. Her own provider page names menopause care and hormone replacement therapy, which most of her colleagues' pages do not. Along with her Menopause Society certification she holds the Heather Hirsch Academy hormone therapy certification that Advantia put several of its clinicians through, and she is a practising physician member of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health. The practice menopause page covers hormone therapy, vaginal hormonal medication and non hormonal options such as low dose antidepressants. New patients self schedule online and fill in a health history in the portal before the first visit, and the Washington office runs Saturday morning clinics twice a month.
Foxhall Women's Health is a small northwest Washington practice with three gynecologists and two nurse practitioners, and Shannon Green has been there since 2011. She stopped obstetrics and her practice is now entirely gynecologic, with menopause management, abnormal bleeding, contraception and minimally invasive procedures named as her areas of expertise. The practice's menopause care covers hormone replacement therapy including bioidentical hormone therapy, osteoporosis screening and treatment, post menopausal bleeding and sexual health. One of her two physician partners is also a Menopause Society certified provider, so this is the practice's work and not one clinician's side interest. There is an onsite lab and gynecologic ultrasound, minor procedures happen in the practice's own procedure room, and surgery goes to Johns Hopkins Medicine Sibley Memorial Hospital. The practice has added a family nurse practitioner so patients can get primary care in the same office, and video visits are offered for reasons that include hormone replacement therapy and osteoporosis.
Clare Heintzelman is a nurse practitioner at Bloom OB/GYN, a busy gynecology and obstetrics group in upper Northwest DC, and she handles menopause and midlife care there. Before becoming an NP she spent about six years as a labor and delivery nurse at Sibley Memorial Hospital. The practice treats menopause symptoms with hormone therapy or with non-hormonal medicines for women who can't or would rather not take hormones, and it also watches bone density. Visits are billed to insurance. New patients start with an office visit, and after that routine follow-ups, lab reviews and prescription changes can happen by video. Patient reviews single her out for being patient and unhurried with questions.
