Menopause Society Certified Practitioners in Minnesota
126 practitioners have an office in Minnesota, and 83 more can see patients here by telehealth. 148 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Minneapolis, Rochester and Maple Grove.
Dr. Hertel runs a virtual-only practice focused on perimenopause, menopause and midlife care, with every visit held inside a secure patient portal. She is a family physician going through the menopause transition herself, and says that experience is what drew her to this work. She prescribes FDA-approved hormone therapy sent to your local pharmacy and does not use estrogen or testosterone pellets. The practice also offers medication-supported weight care and help with low libido and painful sex. It does not do Pap smears, pelvic exams or primary care, so you keep your own doctor and gynecologist for screenings. New patients start with a free 15-minute discovery call, and people outside her licensed states can book an educational visit that ends with a written plan but no prescriptions.
A solo direct-pay practice in Lone Tree whose stated scope is dermatology, cosmetic procedures and medically supervised weight management. The physician is board certified in dermatology and obesity medicine. Every initial visit is by video, with in-person follow-ups by appointment, and the practice does not bill insurance. Hormone replacement therapy is named only as one reason for a new-patient visit on the fee schedule, and no hormone or menopause care is described anywhere else on the site.
Lindsey Buttweiler founded Clara Women's Health in Alexandria after more than 20 years of nursing, most of it in labor and delivery, mother and baby care and lactation support. She became a women's health nurse practitioner in 2021 and built the clinic around hormone care for perimenopause and menopause, metabolic health and weight management, and the skin and aesthetic treatments she performs herself. Visits are meant to be long, with new patients booked for 60 to 90 minutes, and ongoing care runs on a cash-pay monthly membership that covers unlimited visits, prescription management and secure messaging. She sees patients in the Alexandria office and by video anywhere in Minnesota. Her way into nursing started when her first daughter spent five months in intensive care as a baby and went on to have seven open heart surgeries, which she says taught her how healthcare feels from the patient side. The clinic was still being finished in October 2026 and its website was not yet open to the public.
Dragonfly Menopause Care is a two physician practice in Chanhassen, founded by Waymire after more than sixteen years in family, hospital and emergency medicine. Visits are self-pay only and booked through the practice portal, either at the Chanhassen office or by video anywhere in Minnesota. Waymire has extra training in managing menopause for women treated for breast or gynecologic cancer, and that is now the only group of new patients on this schedule, with everyone else booked to the second physician who joined in July 2026. Care covers estrogen, progesterone and testosterone alongside non-hormonal prescriptions, supplements and lab testing done on saliva or blood. The practice says plainly that good care is not defined by whether a woman chooses hormones, and it welcomes women who were told years ago that they were not candidates for hormones. The practice began after a personal struggle to find up to date menopause care, and it now hosts patient open houses at the local strength studio where Waymire trains twice a week.
Gliss Wellness is a virtual-only OB/GYN practice Dr. Walsh co-founded with a second board-certified OB/GYN, and menopause care is its main focus. Care starts with a 30-minute video consultation about your symptoms, and if hormone therapy suits you, you leave with prescriptions for the first three months. A follow-up at three months keeps refills going for the rest of the year, and refills in between happen by message through the patient portal. There is no membership, and you fill prescriptions at your own pharmacy. The doctors can't examine you in person but can order labs and other tests. Dr. Walsh's own interests include pelvic pain, endometriosis, fibroids and weight loss, and a free 15-minute call lets you meet the team before booking.
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.
Jennifer Tagatz sees patients through Midi Health, a national virtual clinic for perimenopause and menopause, and every visit is by video. She spent 20 years providing OB/GYN care at Kaiser Permanente before joining. She says she saw menopausal patients there who had no good source of education, and then went through her own hormone transition in her forties. Her mother was an OB/GYN nurse and her father a fertility specialist, so women's health was dinner table talk. Care at Midi can include hormone and non-hormone prescriptions, labs, supplements and weight medication. New patients book a half-hour first visit online, with short follow-ups after.
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.
Dr. Dombo is a board-certified OB-GYN who is going through the menopausal transition herself. She says starting hormone therapy and changing her nutrition and supplements took her from exhaustion and poor sleep back to enjoying life, and that is why she does this work. She trained in the early 2000s, when hormone therapy was widely feared, and now calls it the gold standard for symptom relief. The first visit runs 60 minutes and covers medical and gynecologic history, medications, nutrition and exercise, then a personal treatment plan. The visit also lists a nutritionist assessment, an exercise plan and mindset coaching, and follow-ups run 25 minutes. She writes publicly about why menopause hits Black women harder and how often they face barriers to care.
Dr. Bozicevich, who goes by Roxie, is an OB/GYN at Women's Health Consultants, a large gynecology and obstetrics group in the Twin Cities. She has been with the group since 2001 and lists perimenopause and menopause among her clinical interests. The group offers menopause care as part of its preventive care, including hormone therapy, and plans treatment around each woman's symptoms. She also does general gynecology, contraception and obstetrics, so she can be a long-term gynecologist and not only a menopause consult. She says she values long relationships with patients and wants to understand their family, work and worries. Appointments are made by phone, and the group has four clinics around Minneapolis, Richfield and Plymouth.
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.
