Menopause Specialists Who Accept Insurance in Michigan
191 practitioners have an office in Michigan, and 79 more can see patients here by telehealth. 194 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor and Holland.
Suzanne Trupin is the only physician at Women's Health Practice in Champaign, where she is the medical director and owner and works alongside one nurse practitioner plus a team of aesthetic and administrative staff. The practice homepage bills her as an OB/GYN specializing in gynecology, hormone balance and medical weight loss, and the practice says it has taken part in more than 100 clinical trials over 30 years. Hormone care runs mainly through BioTe compounded pellet therapy, offered alongside creams, patches and pills, and for vaginal dryness and painful sex the practice also prescribes topical vaginal estrogen, DHEA cream or testosterone. She offers two in-office energy treatments of the vagina, the MonaLisa Touch carbon dioxide laser and ThermiVa radiofrequency, and the practice says it was the first in Central Illinois to bring the laser to the area. The practice is unusually direct about its limits, telling readers plainly that it does not offer gynecologic surgery and will refer out, and that labiaplasty is a consultation ending in a referral to a plastic surgeon. Weight and bladder care are run as their own service lines, with prescription weight loss medication on one side and the Emsella chair and bladder medication on the other.
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.
OBGYN Associates of Marquette is a seven provider group that takes care of women across Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Dr. Pond grew up in Marquette, trained at Michigan State and completed a residency in Ann Arbor, then joined the practice in 2006. The group covers general gynecology alongside obstetrics, and the gynecology page names menopause and hormone therapy, including hormone replacement therapy, among the services provided. The board certified physicians hold surgical privileges at the hospital in Marquette, so office care and surgery stay with the same team. The office publishes two menopause questionnaires that patients can print and bring to a visit. Appointments are booked by phone and the patient portal is meant for people already in the practice.
TCC Family Health is a community health center group with thirteen sites around Long Beach and the surrounding area, and it has been running since 1939. The name is misleading. It started with children but now sees patients of every age, and its services include OB/GYN care, family planning and menopause care alongside adult and senior medicine. The Bellflower health center is one of its sites. Care is open to anyone and the group says no one is turned away because they cannot pay, with a sliding fee discount for the uninsured. New patients start by calling the appointment line or walking into any location, and video and phone visits are available.
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.
