ThriveWellMD is a telehealth practice run by Dr. Nicole Perrotte, an internal medicine physician with added training in lifestyle and obesity medicine who is also a certified health coach. Care starts with a two-part video assessment, with a 60-minute intake, a full lab panel and then a second 60-minute visit to go over the results and a written plan. Patients then move into monthly phases for hormones, metabolism and weight, or sexual health, with app messaging between visits. The hormone phase includes bioidentical hormone therapy made by outside compounding pharmacies. She built the practice after her own burnout, fatigue and weight gain, and it does not replace a primary care doctor.
Northside/Northpoint OB-GYN is a group obstetrics and gynecology practice with offices in Atlanta and Alpharetta, run as a division of Atlanta Women's Health Group. Dr Durairaj is one of the practice's Menopause Society certified practitioners, and the group's hormone therapy page says that care is given with the guidance of its certified practitioners. She has about twenty years in practice and builds lifestyle medicine into her visits, starting from sleep, stress management, exercise and diet. The practice writes about hormones in unusual detail for a general OB-GYN group, with one post arguing the Women's Health Initiative never established a breast cancer risk and saying FDA approved bioidentical hormones get prescribed first. Alongside hormone therapy it runs a clinically detailed osteoporosis service with onsite bone density testing, and it treats the vaginal and bladder changes of menopause with local estrogen. Booking runs through the group's own online scheduler, which lists her by name and shows her as accepting new patients.
A private-pay, physician-led lifestyle medicine practice in Buckhead focused on women over 40 in perimenopause and menopause, which also treats men for testosterone and metabolic concerns. Every new client starts with the same intake, a broad lab panel, body composition analysis, an hour with the physician and a written plan, before any treatment is recommended. Ongoing care runs as invitation-based programs for hormone optimization or weight, plus a maintenance membership with quarterly visits. Hormones are offered as creams, oral, vaginal, injections and pellets. It is not a primary care practice and refers out for mammograms, cervical screening and other diagnostic work.
Dr. Sweeney is a gynecologist at Piedmont OB-GYN, a group practice of women's doctors on Collier Road near Piedmont Atlanta Hospital. She lists menopause care and sexual wellness among her main interests, along with fibroids and minimally invasive surgery. She spent years with Kaiser Permanente Georgia before joining this practice. The practice offers hormone therapy by vaginal, oral or skin routes and schedules regular follow-up visits to check how treatment is working. Care is in the office, and the practice bills insurance for visits.
Premier Care for Women is a gynecology practice of six physicians in one Atlanta office and is part of the Northside Hospital network. It does no obstetrics, so the whole office is built around gynecologic care across a woman's life, and its services page covers menopausal care through all four stages along with hormone replacement therapy. The same office does its own in-office procedures such as colposcopy, endometrial ablation and LEEP, and handles hysterectomy, endometrial biopsy and hysteroscopy as outpatient surgery. Ultrasounds are run in the office by a certified technician, and results come back with a treatment plan within about ten days. Becker went to medical school at Emory, did her residency at Pennsylvania Hospital, and has been board certified in obstetrics and gynecology since 1994. Each of the six physicians records a short personal video on her profile, so a patient can see and hear her before booking.
