Jamie Davis is a nurse practitioner at One Medical's Newton office, a primary care practice that sees children and adults of all ages. She says her particular interests are women's health and LGBTQ+ health, including hormone management and guidance around gender-affirming procedures. One Medical runs on a yearly membership, but the Newton office also lets anyone book online without joining, and scheduled visits are billed to you or your insurance either way. The office keeps weekday drop-in lab hours for labs its own providers order. It sits in a shopping plaza on the corner of Needham and Christina Streets, with free parking in the lot. Her page has no booking link of her own, so the One Medical sign-up does not let a new patient choose her by name.
Olive Tree Medical is a small concierge practice in Wellesley run by two women physicians who keep the panel to a few hundred patients. Dr. Walkey is a primary care internist who is also board certified in lifestyle medicine, and she became a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner in 2024 to focus on women's health in midlife. Membership covers a long annual exam and a schedule of follow-up visits, with a lot of care happening by phone, text, email and video in between. Health coaching, nutrition consults, fitness testing and stress management are folded into membership rather than billed on their own. Walkey was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020 and says it pushed her toward the prevention and lifestyle work she now does with patients. New members start with a free in-person meet and greet, and places are limited, so the practice adds people to a waiting list once it fills.
Gennev is a virtual menopause clinic and Brekke is one of the doctors on its prescriber roster. She is a board certified OB-GYN with more than 25 years in practice, and her own page names perimenopause, menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency and weight management medication. Her stated approach is for women who are good at supporting everyone around them and who struggle to put themselves first. She says she does not do meal plans or macros, and works instead through small habits that build on what a patient already does well. Visits are by video and run 30 minutes, and a referral to one of the clinic's dietitians can be made at the first appointment. The clinic prescribes GLP-1 medication on its weight track and says plainly that it will not use compounded versions.

Toun Sogbein is a women's health nurse practitioner with Visana Health, a women's health practice that works entirely by video out of Minneapolis. She handles menopause and perimenopause along with the gynecological and sexual health problems that often sit alongside them, and she came to this work from public health clinics and a community health degree. First visits run 45 minutes, and patients stay with the same provider and can message the care team through the patient portal between visits. Visana's menopause care follows protocols written by Dr. Barbara Levy, and a patient can go the hormone route or a non-hormonal one after talking it through. Labs and imaging get ordered near home when they are needed, and optional health coaching covers food and exercise for anyone who wants that support. Many patients reach Visana through an employer or health plan, and the site has a start page where you look up yours.
Jamie Wendt sees patients through Midi Health, a women's health practice that works only by video. She started in 2008 as a labor and delivery nurse and spent about a decade there before qualifying as a nurse practitioner in 2019, and she has worked in women's health throughout. About three years ago she shifted her focus to midlife and menopause care, which she calls the most meaningful work of her career. A first visit runs 30 minutes and return visits run 15, and care plans draw on FDA-approved hormone therapy, non-hormone prescriptions, labs and supplements. She writes about spending a year with one patient finding the right mix of hormone therapy and medication after a history of severe postpartum depression. If you need a physical exam or imaging, Midi refers you to someone local and keeps managing the rest by video.
Dr. Kolbas is a general OB-GYN at New England OB-GYN in Chestnut Hill, a large group practice affiliated with Brigham and Women's Hospital. She is one of the practice's certified menopause providers, and the practice evaluates and manages menopause as part of its gynecology care. Most gynecology visits happen in the office, and a provider can choose to do some visits by video. She speaks Spanish as well as English and has taught at Harvard Medical School since 2002. New patients have to register with the Mass General Brigham system before they request an appointment.
Newton-Wellesley OB/GYN is a long-running obstetrics and gynecology group with offices in Newton, Wellesley and Walpole, and it is affiliated with Newton-Wellesley Hospital. Dr. Erisson joined in 2019 after training in Israel and New York and teaching at Northwell for three years. She still does obstetrics and minimally invasive surgery, so menopause care here sits inside a regular gynecology practice rather than a standalone menopause clinic. The practice describes ordinary prescription menopause care, including hormone therapy, vaginal estrogen cream and low dose antidepressants, and says nothing about compounded hormones or pellets. Appointments run through an online request form where you can ask for her by name, and the office keeps same day slots for patients who are having problems. Lab work and ultrasound are done on site and messaging goes through the patient portal.
Dr. Robinson works at a Beth Israel Lahey Health primary care office in Waltham that takes patients of all ages. She leads the practice's menopause group visits, a monthly evening session you can attend in Waltham or join online instead. The sessions go through what the evidence says about menopause and cover both hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options, plus nutrition and exercise. You sign up for one by contacting the practice nurse rather than booking online. Because this is a general primary care office, she also looks after the rest of a patient's health, including long-term conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
Dr. Roca is an OB/GYN at Atrius Health, a large multispecialty group, and sees patients at its Davis Square office in Somerville and in Medford. He lists perimenopause and menopause care among his clinical interests, along with pregnancy care, fibroids and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Atrius OB/GYNs manage menopause symptoms and talk through menopausal hormone therapy. Harder cases can be referred to the group's Menopause Consultation Service, which is mostly virtual. Atrius says some specialty care may be limited to patients who have an Atrius primary care provider, so setting one up first can help. He speaks English, Spanish and French.
Dr. Fleming runs a small gynecology office in Wellesley with one nurse practitioner, and menopause care is a central part of the practice. She prescribes estrogen, with progesterone for women who still have a uterus, and uses non-hormonal prescriptions for hot flashes when hormones are not a good fit. For vaginal dryness and painful sex she also offers the Juliet vaginal laser in the office, including for women with a history of breast cancer. Her site is frank about supplements and says she does not recommend black cohosh. Visits are in person or by video, and new patients booking a menopause consult online are currently scheduled with her nurse practitioner. She came to medicine after a first career as a financial analyst.
Elektra Health is a virtual menopause practice where every visit happens by video, and each patient is paired with a Menopause Society certified clinician plus a coach for nutrition, exercise and emotional support. Elektra clinicians prescribe FDA-approved hormone therapy and non-hormonal options, and the company says plainly that it does not prescribe compounded or non-FDA-approved medications and does not make money from selling supplements or products. It is also not doing medical weight loss at the moment. Visits are billed to insurance where Elektra is in network, and there is a published cash rate for people who are not. DeLasho has belonged to The Menopause Society since 1994, and she says she moved into telehealth because a routine annual gynecology visit never left enough time to talk about menopause. She is named on Elektra's clinician pages, but the sign-up flow pairs each patient with a clinician rather than letting a new patient choose her.
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.
Meaghan Goorley sees patients through Midi Health, a national virtual menopause clinic that works by video only. She began her healthcare career in 2011 in critical care, the operating room and oncology, then moved into family care in 2022, with most of her work since in primary care and some in addiction medicine. She says she came to Midi because primary care visits were too short to get into prevention and hormone care. Her stated approach is to ask a lot of questions, look at the whole picture, and offer the safest treatment that fits what the patient wants. She wants a space where no question counts as too much information. A new patient can book with her by name.
Dr. Page Crane is one of eight physicians at About Women By Women, a women-owned, all-female OB/GYN practice that has served the MetroWest area of Massachusetts for more than thirty years. She trained at Yale College and Harvard Medical School, finished her OB/GYN residency at Duke in 2020, joined the practice in 2023, and sees patients at both the Wellesley and Walpole offices. Her own stated clinical interests are minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and the evaluation and management of abnormal uterine bleeding, and she says she especially enjoys caring for patients through pregnancy. She is the only clinician on the team listed as a Menopause Society Certified Provider. The practice offers FDA-approved hormone therapy in oral, transdermal and vaginal forms plus transdermal testosterone for low libido, and it states plainly that it does not use compounded bioidentical hormones. Visits are unrushed, same-week slots are held for urgent problems, labs and ultrasound are done on site, and the team describes its care as concierge-level attention without membership fees.
Dr. Edelman has run her own private gynecology practice in Middleboro since 1987 and sees women from age 18 into their eighties. She practiced solo for most of that time, and in September 2024 a second board certified gynecologist who is also menopause certified joined her. Menopause care here means consultation and treatment, with plant-based hormone prescriptions or non-hormonal medication for hot flashes and night sweats. The office also runs two energy based devices in house, ThermiVa radiofrequency for vaginal dryness, painful sex and leaking, and an Emsella chair for bladder control. Her book Menopause Matters was published by Johns Hopkins University Press, and the North American Menopause Society named her its Menopause Practitioner of the Year in 2010. In the office she draws pictures and uses anatomical models so patients can see what she is describing.
Boston Obstetrics and Gynecology is a seven physician group in Brookline that handles both obstetrics and general gynecology. Dr. Lafornara is listed among the practice doctors and is the only member of the group whose page states the Menopause Society certification. The professional interests on that page are pregnancy and childbirth, abnormal pap smears and colposcopy, general gynecology and minimally invasive surgery for benign gynecologic conditions, plus menopause and perimenopause. The gynecology page says that both hormonal and non-hormonal treatments are available for perimenopausal symptoms, and it asks patients to raise symptoms at a routine visit or call for an appointment. Menopause is one of the reasons a patient can pick on the practice appointment request form. The doctors share a 24 hour coverage arrangement with ten named physicians and hold hospital staff appointments in Boston.
Dr. Connolly is an obstetrician-gynecologist at New England OB-GYN Associates, a large group practice in Chestnut Hill that delivers babies and also sees women through menopause. Menopause care sits alongside routine gynecology, and the practice lists Menopause Society certified providers for it. Most gynecology visits are in the office, and a video visit happens only when the provider decides it fits. Dr. Connolly has practiced since 1998 and teaches as a clinical instructor at Harvard Medical School. The practice partners with FamilyWell, whose mental health team now sees patients going through menopause and works directly with the OB-GYN. Patients new to the Mass General Brigham system register with its patient service center before requesting a first appointment.
Dr. Matta runs a small office based gynecology practice on Beacon Street in Brookline, and her site says she partners with Dr. Nicole Boudreau. Her own description of her work is brief and promises compassionate and comprehensive office based gynecological care, with time taken to understand what each patient needs. The booking profile her site links is the only place that names services, and it lists birth control, consultations for menopause, evaluations for osteoporosis, and annual gynecologic examinations, along with care for urinary tract infection and sexual dysfunction. She does not publish what she prescribes for menopause. She is a board certified obstetrician gynecologist who trained at Loyola, completed a fellowship at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, and teaches physician assistants as an instructor at Boston University. The office keeps short hours, afternoons on Mondays and Tuesdays and mornings on Thursdays and Fridays, with metered street parking around the building, and she speaks Spanish and Cantonese as well as English.
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.
Dr. Pope is Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Southcoast Health and one of the gynecologists on its Menopause and Wellness Program team. The program calls itself the first in its region built around midlife and menopause care. It puts gynecology alongside heart care, weight loss, bone health, endocrinology, psychiatry, sex therapy and pelvic floor physical therapy, so patients can be referred within one team. He sees patients at the program's Wareham office and at the Southcoast OB/GYN office in New Bedford. He also teaches obstetrics and gynecology at Brown and lists menopause among his clinical interests. Visits go through Southcoast Health's usual insurance billing and MyChart patient portal.
Carolyn Bernstein is a headache neurologist at the Osher Center for Integrative Health in Chestnut Hill, which is the Brigham's integrative medicine clinic. The Mass General Brigham profile describes a practice built on migraine and headache disorders, backed by a subspecialty certification in headache medicine. The profile lists membership of the North American Menopause Society and names hormonal headache among stated interests, but no page Mass General Brigham publishes describes menopause care or hormone therapy as care delivered here. The clinic's own service list runs to acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage, mindfulness training, health coaching and neurological conditions with headache called out, and names no menopause or hormone care at all. The Brigham's menopause programme sits in a different suite of the same building and is staffed from gynecology and endocrinology. Bernstein wrote The Migraine Brain and teaches neurology residents and Harvard medical students.
