Dr. Cook is an internist at Elite Medicine, a small concierge primary care practice serving the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. She has a special interest in women's health and completed extra training in perimenopause and menopause management. She is also a verified practitioner of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health. Every new patient starts with a two-hour first visit, and members can reach their doctor directly by email or text. Visits happen by video or in person, often at your home or office. The practice keeps its patient numbers low and starts a waiting list once spots fill, and prospective patients can book a free video call first.
Sabia Health is Dr. DeVries's solo direct primary care practice in Durham, built for women roughly 40 to 64 who are going through perimenopause and menopause. She provides all the care herself, in the office, by video, or by phone and text, and she sees patients in English and Spanish. Membership covers a yearly exam and care plan, unlimited visits, direct messaging with her, and cheaper labs, imaging and Pap smears. You do not have to join to be seen. There is a standalone perimenopause and menopause consult that covers symptoms, a hormone plan, and bone, heart and metabolic risk, and it comes with three months of medication and dose adjustments by text or phone. She spent two decades in community health centers, Medicaid managed care and health system leadership before opening this practice, and she also provides gender-affirming hormone therapy.
Durham Women's Clinic is a long established obstetrics and gynecology practice with offices in Durham and at Brier Creek in Raleigh. Its gynecology care runs from adolescence through menopause, and the practice lists menopause care with hormone replacement therapy among its services. Physicians, midwives and a physician assistant all see gynecology patients, and the practice delivers babies and operates at Duke Regional Hospital. It was founded in 1941 by Dr. Eleanor Easley, the first woman to earn a four year medical degree from Duke, and it was the first practice in North Carolina to bring midwives in house. Carlson appears among the providers on the team page but has no photo or bio of her own, so the site says nothing about her own interests or how she approaches hormones.
