Brooke Bina is a nurse-midwife who runs a small practice focused only on perimenopause and menopause, with evidence-based hormone therapy at its center. She sees patients by video anywhere in Oregon or North Dakota, and in person at Alma Midwifery's clinic in Portland. The first visit is a long one that covers your full history, a plan, prescriptions and any labs or imaging. After that you can book a regular follow-up or a short visit for a single question like a refill. Her symptom list goes well past hot flashes and includes frozen shoulder, tinnitus, burning mouth and recurrent urinary infections. She does not see anyone enrolled in Medicare, including Medicare Advantage.
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.
Tosha Ulmer is a family nurse practitioner at Amend Healthcare, an independent family medicine clinic in Fargo. Menopause is her special focus, and she prescribes hormone therapy for perimenopause and menopause symptoms. She has close to 25 years in healthcare and also does medical and cosmetic Botox. Because the clinic is family medicine, she can also be your regular primary care provider and see the rest of your family. The clinic gives patients cozy robes instead of paper gowns and says it never rushes visits. New patients can book a visit with her online.
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.
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.
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.
