Menopause Specialists Who Accept Medicare in Louisiana
62 practitioners have an office in Louisiana, and 36 more can see patients here by telehealth. 69 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Shreveport.
Femme Executive Health is a women-only concierge practice in Baton Rouge run by Dr. Kate Freeman, a family physician. Patients pay a yearly membership for primary care with longer visits and secure messaging, and insurance is still billed for covered visits and tests. She manages perimenopause, menopause and hormone therapy as part of that care. Anyone thinking of joining can book a free in-person visit to meet her first.
Mint Health is an integrative functional medicine gynecology practice in Baton Rouge where Dr. Buchert sees patients alongside a nurse practitioner. Both have been Institute for Functional Medicine certified practitioners since 2017. As of October 2025 every patient, existing and new, must hold an annual Integrative Functional Wellness Membership, so routine gynecologic care, hormone replacement and functional medicine all run through that one model. Prospective patients can book a Discovery Visit with either provider to decide before committing, and membership is capped, with a waiting list once capacity is reached. Dr. Buchert is a board-certified OB-GYN who also operates, including endometrial ablation, laparoscopy and robotic hysterectomy.
Ashley Romero Parich is a physician assistant at Acadiana Women's Health Group, an OB/GYN practice in Lafayette with nine physicians and four advanced practice providers. She grew up in nearby Abbeville, has worked in OB/GYN since 2007, and joined this group in 2016. She sees women of all ages, and her own listed care runs from prenatal visits and annual exams to contraception, osteoporosis screening and treatment, and hormone replacement therapy. What sets her apart in a general OB/GYN office is her hormone training, since she is a certified women's hormone therapy specialist and a member of The Menopause Society. Visits are in person at the Ambassador Caffery office, although the practice offers telemedicine appointments by request. New patients download the practice forms and send them back two days before the first visit.
Wells is a women's health nurse practitioner at Women's Health Associates, a seven provider obstetrics and gynecology office in Bossier City that is part of the Willis Knighton system. She sees women of every age for routine gynecologic and obstetric care, and her own profile singles out menopause as the stretch of life she most wants to help women through. The practice describes its menopause care as hormone replacement therapy and osteoporosis prevention. She is the only provider in the office whose profile names urinary incontinence and polycystic ovary syndrome as interests, and the only one certified as a menopause practitioner. Her work is office based rather than surgical, covering things like endometrial biopsy, colposcopy and contraceptive implants, while the physicians handle the operating room. She teaches other clinicians to place and remove the Nexplanon implant, and she makes a point of talking with patients about daily habits and healthy routines.
Dr. Swing is a board-certified OB/GYN whose practice is built around hormone care for women in perimenopause and menopause. A first-person account on the site describes going through menopause in the mid forties, finding that the regimens taught in residency did not work, and then taking extra training in bioidentical hormone therapy. Hormone patients join an annual cash-pay program, and the practice will only fill hormone prescriptions for women enrolled in it. Testosterone pellets are placed in the office in a procedure that takes ten to twenty minutes, written up in the first person down to how long the paper strips stay on. Routine gynecology runs on a separate track and is billed to insurance. A nurse practitioner joined in 2025 and covers much of the general gynecology.
Taylor Mahtook is a physician assistant with Our Lady of Lourdes Physician Group in Lafayette, where she sees women for primary care and works in the group's menopause clinic. The clinic calls itself the region's first multi-discipline menopause service and takes patients from age 15 up, with a gynecologist, a nurse practitioner and a dietitian working in the same building. Both hormone and non-hormone treatment for perimenopause and menopause are offered there, labs are drawn on site, and new patients can book with her online. Mahtook also manages the long-running conditions that often sit alongside midlife hormone changes, such as thyroid disease, osteoporosis and high blood pressure. She came to women's health after working in urgent care clinics and an emergency department. She asks patients to write down their questions before a visit, and says a good history and real listening get her most of the way to a diagnosis.
Erin Gullatt is one of five physicians at an OB-GYN group with offices in Shreveport and Ruston. She is the only one of the five whose bio mentions menopause. The group's gynecology page lists menopause management among routine well-woman care, and her own health system profile names symptomatic menopause, atrophic vaginitis and urinary incontinence as conditions she treats. The practice leans surgical, with robotically trained surgeons, and it does hysteroscopy, colposcopy, endometrial ablation and IUD placement in the office. Nothing the practice or the health system publishes names hormone therapy or any other menopause treatment, so what she prescribes for it is not stated. She grew up in Shreveport, trained in New Orleans and practiced near Monroe for a couple of years before coming home to be near family.
