Menopause Specialists Who Accept Medicare in Maine
39 practitioners have an office in Maine, and 65 more can see patients here by telehealth. 68 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Portland, Scarborough and Freeport.
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.
Wellness for Women is a gynecology practice in Kennebunk that Dr. Dries owns, and she sees patients alongside a second clinician, Jamie Osgood Wendt, DNP. Her menopause page says she provides individualized care for hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, difficulty sleeping, vaginal dryness, pain with sex and weight gain, and it names her Menopause Society practitioner certification. The site never mentions hormone therapy or any named medication, so what she prescribes is not published anywhere a reader can see it. For vaginal dryness and painful intercourse she offers FemiLift, a CO2 laser she invites patients to discuss with her in a complimentary consultation. Bladder trouble has its own section of the site, with an Emsella chair offered for leaking, and she uses osteopathic manipulation for pelvic and vaginal pain. New patients cannot get in for routine gynecology at the moment, but the practice is still taking menopause consults from women whose primary care doctor refers them.
Susan Kamin spent years as a hospital and clinic midwife and attended over 1,000 births before turning toward menopause and sexual health care. Lifecycle Women's Health is a one-person office in a small cottage in Brunswick, and visits run long, with an hour for a first visit and 75 minutes for a menopause consultation. Care covers the perimenopause and menopause transition alongside a separate sexuality counseling service, and Kamin holds a sexuality counselor certificate on top of midwifery and nurse practitioner training. The practice describes supporting patients with healthy lifestyle changes, nutrients and supplements, lab testing and prescribed medication when it is needed. Kamin says plainly that the practice does not do primary care and does not look after people during pregnancy, but keeps referrals for anyone who needs maternity care. New patients start by calling the office, because the online scheduler is open to established patients only.
She is one of about fifteen clinicians at MaineHealth's Congress Street office in Portland, a hospital department that also houses maternal fetal medicine and used to be called MMP Women's Health. She sees patients at MaineHealth's Bramhall Street OB/GYN clinic on the same Portland campus as well. MaineHealth lists perimenopause and menopause treatment among the gynecology care these offices provide, so a menopause visit here sits inside general OB/GYN care rather than a separate menopause program. She finished her residency at Maine Medical Center and then went back for a public health degree at Harvard, and she now also covers MaineHealth's Pen Bay and Waldo hospitals up the coast. Visits are arranged by calling the office on weekdays, and MaineHealth patients use the MyChart portal for messages and bills. MaineHealth publishes no bio for her and says nothing about how she uses hormones, so her own approach is not described on the site.
Luke Roberts is an obstetrician and gynecologist in the MaineHealth group, which runs offices across Maine. He sees patients at the group's Portland office on Bramhall Street, listed as his primary office, and at its Scarborough office. The practice covers routine gynecology exams, preventive screening, birth control and sexual health, pregnancy and birth, and menopause and healthy aging. MaineHealth's menopause pages name both of the offices he works from and describe care for hot flashes, sleep trouble, mood changes and vaginal dryness. For hormone therapy the group describes estrogen, progesterone or a combination, weighs the risks with each patient, and advises the lowest effective dose. Bone loss after menopause is treated as part of the same care, and visits, messages and test results run through the 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.
