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.
Laura Grant cofounded Women's Wellness Center in Columbia with her husband Mark Grant, also an OB-GYN, in 2007, after more than a decade of delivering babies. She stopped doing obstetrics and now sees women only for gynecology, hormone therapy and pelvic floor problems. The practice runs its hormone care almost entirely on compounded pellets inserted under the skin at the hip, and says plainly why it has moved away from pills, creams and injections. Patients on pellets come back every three or four months for a face to face review with their provider. Her other main interest is bladder and bowel control and pelvic pain, which she works up herself and then treats in the office with pelvic floor therapy rather than with surgery or long term drugs. She writes and signs her own patient handouts, including one arguing that hormone therapy is safe for women who have had breast cancer.
Carrie Wieneke Broghammer is a general obstetrician gynecologist at The University of Kansas Health System, where she chairs the OB/GYN department. The department runs a midlife program called Menopause, Intimacy and Midlife Transition, and its menopause care includes hormone therapy. Her own profile describes the breadth of obstetrics and gynecology rather than a menopause-only practice. She came to KU in 2008 and started its minimally invasive gynecology program, so gynecologic surgery is a real part of her work. Her bio says she wants patients to understand their options and play a part in their own care, and she sees teens, adults and adults over 65. Visits are at two locations on the Kansas City campus, video visits are available, and a new patient starts by sending an appointment request and waiting for a scheduler to call back.
