Dr. Blank is an internist who runs a concierge primary care practice through MUSC Health in Mount Pleasant. Members pay a yearly fee on top of their usual insurance and get same-day or next-day visits, in person or by video, plus direct contact with her by phone, text or email. She keeps a small patient panel so visits are not rushed. She is also board certified in lifestyle medicine and obesity medicine, and she builds diet, exercise and daily habits into treatment with a focus on progress rather than perfection. Her pages do not describe a separate menopause service, so menopause care here is part of her ongoing primary care. Joining means making her your primary care doctor, and patients must be 18 or older.
Menopause Solutions is a small Mount Pleasant practice that Elaine Eustis runs with a nurse practitioner. Care starts with a long first visit covering history, health risks, an exam, and lab and imaging orders, and patients are usually seen once or twice a year after that. She prescribes hormone therapy including bioidentical hormones, and the practice also treats women who cannot use hormones or would rather not. It does not recommend pellet therapy and says research suggests that approach pushes hormone levels too high, though it will take on patients who have had complications from pellets. The practice also runs a medically supervised weight loss program built around weekly semaglutide or tirzepatide injections. Patients are not tied to one clinician and can message the office through the patient portal at no extra charge.
Dr. Houlton is an OB/GYN at MUSC Women's Health in Mount Pleasant and also sees patients at the Daniel Island office. She lists menopause as one of her main clinical interests alongside robotic surgery and pregnancy care. She practiced in Seattle for almost nine years before moving to Charleston. She sees women of all ages and says she values caring for the same patients over many years. New patients can book a new gynecology visit online through MUSC MyChart.
