Haugen OB/GYN grew out of Dr. John Haugen's obstetrics and gynecology practice and now runs offices in Edina, downtown Minneapolis and Plymouth. Its gynecology page lists menopause care and hormone replacement among the preventive care its physicians provide, alongside surgical work that includes advanced laparoscopy. Dr. Schmitz-Burns names high risk pregnancy, infertility, minimally invasive surgery, cervical dysplasia and the menopause transition as her special interests. She writes that her own infertility, a high risk pregnancy and now middle age have deepened how she understands her patients. She trained at Parkland Hospital in Dallas and is proficient in medical Spanish. Menopause symptoms and hormone therapy management are among the things the practice will handle in a video or phone visit.
BIOHARMONY Health is a two doctor practice in Edina that Dr. Casserly co-founded after a decade as a full spectrum OB/GYN, delivering babies and doing gynecologic surgery. Care comes as three or six month programs rather than one off visits, and each program covers lab testing, supplements and monthly visits with your doctor. New patients can start with a free discovery call, then an hour long wellness consult that goes through medical history and what she wants from care before anyone enrolls. Hormone therapy is used when it is indicated and sits alongside nutrition, gut health and lifestyle work. The practice does not offer hormone pellets and does not do pap smears. Dr. Casserly went looking for training beyond her conventional OB/GYN education after her own health pushed her to learn more, and she sees patients in the office inside the Guided Health building.
Leslie Newman is a nurse practitioner at Southdale OBGYN in Edina and Burnsville, one of four independent clinics that practice together as Premier Women's Health of Minnesota. Newman has spent an entire career as a nurse practitioner at this practice, and many patients who first came for contraception as young women stayed on through pregnancy and midlife. The provider page lists menopausal care alongside well-woman visits, birth control, bone density testing and in-office procedures. The practice names hormone therapy among the menopause care it provides, and it separately highlights eight clinicians as its menopause and perimenopause specialists, a group that does not include Newman. Newman also has extra training in lactation and infertility and precepts nurse practitioner students at the University of Minnesota. Online booking is open to new patients, and the practice appointment form lets a new patient choose Newman as the provider.
