Menopause Specialists Who Accept Insurance in Kentucky
55 practitioners have an office in Kentucky, and 57 more can see patients here by telehealth. 78 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Louisville, Lexington and Florence.
Cady Brown and her husband Ryan, both internal medicine physicians, started this small concierge primary care office in downtown Lexington in 2018. She holds Menopause Society certification, and the practice lists menopause and hormone therapy in its women's health services alongside everyday internal medicine work like thyroid and heart risk. Membership buys an annual physical that ends in a written wellness plan, plus direct phone, text and email access to her doctor between visits. Care happens in person at the Mill Street office, and virtual visits are used mainly when a member is away from home. The practice has reached the size it wants, so new patients join a waiting list. No pharmaceutical reps are allowed in the office, and there are no nurse practitioners or physician assistants, so members see their own doctor every visit.

Kelly Perisin is a nurse practitioner at MyMenopauseRx, a video-only practice that treats nothing but perimenopause and menopause. It was started by a Chicago-area gynecologist and bills insurance like a regular office. Visits take about 30 minutes on Zoom, and you can book the same clinician every time and message the care team between visits. Kelly came to menopause care from weight management and urgent care, and she draws on that when helping women with midlife weight gain. The practice prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone sent to your own pharmacy, and it prescribes testosterone directly only for patients in Illinois. It is meant to work alongside your own primary care doctor, who still handles anything that needs a physical exam.
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.
Marnatti sees women at UK HealthCare's Women's Health Primary Care clinic in Lexington, and she is one of two clinicians who staff the health system's Midlife Health and Menopause Clinic. She joined the women's health practice in 2020 and moved into the menopause clinic when it opened in February 2025. That clinic runs Tuesday mornings as a consult service, and it pulls in UK specialists in bone health, nutrition and integrative medicine when a woman needs them. Visits are booked through the women's health clinic, and she also keeps a general primary care panel, so the same woman can bring her blood pressure or her bone density to the visit. On hormones she is plain about the evidence. After the FDA removed its black box warning she went on the health system's podcast to say the old label frightened women and prescribers away from treatment, and that she still weighs age, time since the last period and health history before starting anything.

Women First of Louisville is an all-female OB/GYN group that has been in the Baptist Health medical pavilion since 1988, and Dr. Grider joined it in 1998. She still practices obstetrics alongside gynecology, so her patients run from teenagers on contraception through pregnancy and into the menopause transition. What she says she enjoys most in midlife care is walking a woman through the pros and cons of hormone therapy so the choice is her own. The practice is openly cautious about compounded bioidentical hormones and makes the point that plenty of prescription bioidenticals are not compounded at all. Hormones are prescribed as pills, patches, gels, sprays and vaginal products, and bone density screening and blood draws happen in the office. Visits are in person at the single Louisville location, you reach her care team on a direct weekday line or through the FollowMyHealth portal, and she also handles the practice's minimally invasive and robotic surgery.
Bluegrass Gynecology and Wellness is a membership practice in Lexington that Dr. Elkinson built for women after fifteen years in general obstetrics and gynecology. Everyone who joins pays a membership fee, and in return gets same day or next day appointments, long visits, and the ability to call or text her and her clinical staff directly. She is a gynecologic surgeon who also handles primary care and sick visits, so a member can bring her a hormone question, a pelvic floor problem and the flu. For midlife patients she offers FDA approved hormonal medications, bioidentical supplements, non hormonal medications and what she calls alternative therapies, and she runs lab work and ultrasound in the office. She also treats urinary leaking, overactive bladder and painful sex from atrophy with in office radiofrequency devices rather than surgery. The cosmetic injectables and skin treatments on the same menu are a separate service run by a nurse injector.
Abby Loftus-Smith is an OB-GYN with St. Elizabeth Physicians in northern Kentucky. The system's menopause page names her as one of three certified menopause doctors on its team, and she sees patients at the Newport office as well as the Burlington and Florence women's health offices. New patients can book online or by phone, though video visits are kept for patients she already sees, so a first appointment is in person. On hormones the team is explicit about its limits. It offers only FDA-approved treatment and says it does not use hormone pellets or non-approved therapies, so the options are estrogen and progesterone, vaginal estrogen, and non-hormonal medication such as SSRIs for hot flashes. Her wider gynecology practice covers adolescent care, fertility and infertility, PCOS, and minimally invasive and robotic surgery.
Gabrielle Grundy is one of nine physicians at MyOBGYN, a Las Vegas obstetrics and gynecology group with two offices where several providers rotate between the two. Her bio says she cares for women through all stages of life and names adolescence and perimenopause as her particular interests, which covers both ends of reproductive life. She grew up in a small town in Kentucky and went into the specialty after watching her own family members face reproductive health problems. Before Las Vegas she spent years doing locum work in rural parts of the country to cover physician shortages, then worked as an OB hospitalist. The practice files its menopause care under a service line it calls MyMenopause, and its condition pages describe hormone therapy, low-dose vaginal estrogen and non-hormonal options such as antidepressants for hot flashes. Surgery is done in house, so hysteroscopy, endometrial ablation and robotic hysterectomy do not need a referral out.
Kasianchuk is a registered dietitian at Gennev, a virtual menopause clinic, so her work is nutrition and lifestyle counseling rather than prescribing. Gennev's doctors handle medication and hormone therapy, and she works alongside them with shared notes in the patient record. Her own page names weight management, bone health and cardiovascular health as her areas, along with sports nutrition and exercise physiology. A first visit with her runs 50 to 55 minutes and follow-ups run 30 to 40 minutes, usually every two or three weeks for at least three months, with text support in between. She also runs Gennev's lifestyle care program as its senior director of lifestyle care. Gennev's weight management track starts with the dietitian rather than the doctor and you can self-refer into it, while nutrition care in the general menopause track comes as a referral from your first doctor visit.
Winston is a board certified obstetrician gynaecologist at Boston Medical Center. She sees patients at two sites, the main Boston campus on Harrison Avenue and BMC Brighton. Her hospital listing places her in obstetrics and gynaecology along with labour, delivery and postpartum care, so her published work includes deliveries and not only office gynaecology. Boston Medical Center publishes nothing about menopause, perimenopause or hormone therapy for her, and her profile carries no specialties list at all, while a colleague at the same Harrison Avenue office does list menopause. Her menopause certification from The Menopause Society is current, but her employer's site gives no sign that she offers menopause care. She trained in obstetrics and gynaecology at Marshall University in West Virginia after earning her osteopathic degree in Tennessee.
