29 practitioners have an office in Rhode Island, and 39 more can see patients here by telehealth. 35 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Providence, Warwick and Pawtucket.
Dr. Zhang is an internist who runs a direct primary care practice in East Providence with one other physician. Each doctor caps the panel at 300 patients, so visits run 30 to 60 minutes and members can reach him by phone, text or video. He trained in urology before moving to internal medicine, and he is also board certified in lifestyle medicine. His menopause care is part of general adult primary care, with a strong lean toward nutrition and plant-based eating. He can do ultrasound right in the office, and virtual visits are available.
Gennev is a virtual menopause clinic and Brekke is one of the doctors on its prescriber roster. She is a board certified OB-GYN with more than 25 years in practice, and her own page names perimenopause, menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency and weight management medication. Her stated approach is for women who are good at supporting everyone around them and who struggle to put themselves first. She says she does not do meal plans or macros, and works instead through small habits that build on what a patient already does well. Visits are by video and run 30 minutes, and a referral to one of the clinic's dietitians can be made at the first appointment. The clinic prescribes GLP-1 medication on its weight track and says plainly that it will not use compounded versions.
Diana Kumar is a board certified OB-GYN who co-founded Gliss Wellness, a virtual practice built around perimenopause and menopause. All care happens by video and secure messaging, so there is no office to visit. A menopause visit runs about 30 minutes and ends with a plan and prescriptions for an initial three month period, followed by a check-in visit before refills continue for the rest of the year. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits, can order labs and scans, and sends prescriptions to the patient's own pharmacy. She also sees women for weight counseling and for urgent gynecology problems handled through a short written form. Her stated areas of interest are PCOS, sexual dysfunction, bone health and longevity medicine.
Dr. Carol runs a small concierge practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, and she is going through midlife herself. She spent about 20 years as an emergency physician before turning to menopause care. Care starts with a free 30-minute video call, then a package of two long visits, each 60 to 90 minutes, with messaging between and after them. Visits can be at her Manhattan office, by video, or at your home or workplace. The visits look at symptom treatment along with bone, heart and breast cancer risk. She does not replace your own doctors, so you still need a primary care doctor and a gynecologist for exams and mammograms.
Dr. Kunkel is a gynecologist who runs her own membership practice for women's health inside Direct Doctors, a physician-only direct care group in East Greenwich. She spent seven and a half years as a general OB/GYN before building a practice around midlife women, and she also holds board certification in obesity medicine. New patients start with a one-time consult of up to an hour, then join her monthly membership, which is required for hormone therapy. Members can reach her directly by text, email and phone. She also treats primary ovarian insufficiency and handles in-office gynecology such as biopsies and IUDs. She began her working life in theater before switching to medicine.
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.
Zaluski is one of three clinicians in the Midlife Care Center at Women & Infants Hospital, a consultative menopause program that sits inside the hospital's gynecology specialties group. Patients reach it on a referral from their primary care provider or gynecologist, or by calling the clinic directly. The stated work is evaluation and treatment of hot flashes and night sweats, vulvovaginal problems such as dryness and painful sex, and preventive care for women in midlife. The team's own page invites women to come in and talk through hormonal and non-hormonal options, including women already on hormone therapy who want to review what they are taking. Alongside the menopause work Zaluski keeps a general gynecology practice, with listed interests in abnormal uterine bleeding, cervical dysplasia and vulvovaginal health. Zaluski also sees patients at two other Care New England offices.
Carolyn Bernstein is a headache neurologist at the Osher Center for Integrative Health in Chestnut Hill, which is the Brigham's integrative medicine clinic. The Mass General Brigham profile describes a practice built on migraine and headache disorders, backed by a subspecialty certification in headache medicine. The profile lists membership of the North American Menopause Society and names hormonal headache among stated interests, but no page Mass General Brigham publishes describes menopause care or hormone therapy as care delivered here. The clinic's own service list runs to acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage, mindfulness training, health coaching and neurological conditions with headache called out, and names no menopause or hormone care at all. The Brigham's menopause programme sits in a different suite of the same building and is staffed from gynecology and endocrinology. Bernstein wrote The Migraine Brain and teaches neurology residents and Harvard medical students.
