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.

Anna O'Hearn is a psychiatric nurse practitioner who runs Be Well Wyoming, a telehealth practice for adults in Wyoming and Nebraska. Most of her work is psychiatric medication care. She names women's mental health as a specialty, including PMDD, perimenopause and menopause. She prescribes hormone therapy as part of that care and pairs it with supplements, meditation and lifestyle changes. Appointments run on evenings and weekends.
Gretchen Dutcher sees patients through Midi Health, a national virtual menopause clinic that works by video only. She became a nurse practitioner in 2021 but has worked in women's health since 2014, in gynecology, urology and postpartum care. She says education is what she enjoys most about menopause care, and she wants women to understand what is happening in their bodies and to feel less stigma about midlife changes. She describes her approach as a partnership and says she meets each patient where she is. New patients can book with her by name through her own Midi page. Midi does not do in-person exams, so anything needing a physical exam or imaging is referred out.
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.
Katlyn Schweder is a family nurse practitioner at the Mankato Clinic Daniels Health Center in St. Peter. She works in primary care, and menopause care is one of her stated interests alongside women's health and pediatrics. That makes her a good fit for a woman who wants her menopause care handled by the same person who sees her for everything else. She has talked about menopause treatment on a local Mankato radio podcast. New patients can book with her online or by phone.
Faubion is an internist at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville and sees patients through its Women's Health Specialty Clinic. She founded and directs the Mayo Clinic Center for Women's Health, and every condition listed on her own clinical page is a menopause or female sexual health one, so midlife care is the whole of her practice. The clinic runs two routes for a new patient, a menopause consultation that covers natural, surgical and cancer treatment induced menopause as well as primary ovarian insufficiency, and a sexual health consultation for low libido and painful sex. Her page says she helps women work through hormone therapy and understand their options. Appointments go through Mayo's central request process, which in most cases needs no referral, and established patients message her team through the Mayo patient portal. She also practices at Mayo's Rochester campus, and away from work she grows orchids and cooks.
Alexa Derosier is a nurse midwife and nurse practitioner in the OB/GYN department at Essentia Health's 32nd Avenue Clinic in Fargo. Her online scheduling has menopause care as its own reason for a visit, and hormone replacement therapy is one of the choices under it. You can book that visit yourself through the health system's patient portal without already being a gynecology patient. The rest of her work runs from pregnancy and birth through well woman visits, and she also sees women for pelvic floor trouble, bladder leaking and pessary care. Her scheduling page lists telehealth alongside midwifery and OB/GYN, and Essentia runs video visits through the same portal. This is a large health system rather than a private menopause practice, so a visit here is a regular clinic appointment billed to insurance.
Krueger is an OB/GYN at Essentia Health's 32nd Avenue Clinic in Fargo, which sits in the same building as the health system's Fargo hospital. She joined in July 2025, after medical school in Minnesota and an obstetrics and gynecology residency in Rochester, New York. She still does obstetrics and gynecologic surgery alongside office gynecology, and she has said she likes following patients from adolescence through to what she calls the mid-life menopause era. Her own list of conditions treated names menopause and hormonal imbalance, along with pelvic pain and bladder problems. The gynecology department handles menopause symptoms from premenopause through postmenopause, and hormone replacement therapy is one of the treatments it uses. This is health-system care, so visits are billed to insurance and booked by phone or through the patient portal, and her page says new patients are welcome.
Tracie Smith is a therapist at LynLake Centers for WellBeing, a large Twin Cities group practice that offers counseling, psychiatric medication management, nutrition therapy and acupuncture. She sees adults and works by telehealth and out of one of the practice's Minneapolis offices. Perimenopause and menopause are listed as areas of special interest, along with grief, identity and the strain of caring for others in midlife. Her approach draws on mindfulness, narrative, solution focused and cognitive behavioral work. She came to social work after a corporate career and holds an MBA alongside her MSW. She is practicing under the supervision of a licensed clinical social worker while she finishes her own licensure, and her profile says she is not accepting new clients.
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.
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.
Total Women's Care of North Texas is an obstetrics and gynecology office in Frisco Square with six doctors. Dr. Lays is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, and her own list of care names hormone replacement therapy and menopause conditions. She practiced in Minnesota and North Dakota before moving to Texas, and she was co-chair of obstetrics and gynecology at Essentia Health. A lot of her work is surgical, including robotic and minimally invasive procedures, and she is a certified DaVinci robotic surgeon. She still delivers babies and takes high risk pregnancies, so this is a full obstetrics practice rather than a menopause clinic. The office keeps weekday hours only and asks new patients to arrive half an hour early to finish paperwork.
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.
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.
