Menopause Society Certified Practitioners in Tennessee
74 practitioners have an office in Tennessee, and 67 more can see patients here by telehealth. 93 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga.
Hometown Health is a solo direct primary care practice in Jefferson City, Tennessee, where Regina Fields is the only provider. She is a board-certified family physician who spent nearly a decade in hospital medicine before training in obesity medicine, menopause care, and functional and lifestyle medicine. Membership is tiered, with a primary care plan, a separate wellness plan covering hormone replacement and medical weight loss management, and a combined plan. Hormone therapy is also offered to non-members on a pay-as-you-go basis. Hormone care begins with bloodwork and a detailed symptom review, and the practice provides bioidentical hormone therapy and testosterone therapy to women alongside nutrition and lifestyle plans. Visits are in office or by telemedicine, and members can reach the provider by phone and text.
Vanessa Armenise runs Balance Hormone and Wellness as a telehealth practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, and patients must be physically located in Tennessee at the time of every appointment. Armenise spent nearly two decades in oncology and advanced practice roles, including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and writes that survivorship and careful symptom management shaped the way they work. Care begins with a 60 minute video consultation that reviews symptoms, menstrual and medical history, prior hormone use, risk factors and goals before any treatment is recommended. Compounded testosterone is prescribed through a licensed compounding pharmacy, and the practice tells readers plainly that compounded medicines are not FDA approved and that calling a hormone bioidentical does not make it safer. The practice also says a conversation about menopause care does not commit anyone to hormone therapy, and that nonhormonal options will be considered for women who cannot or do not want to take hormones. Armenise started the practice after their own midlife symptoms showed how hard that care was to find.
Concierge Medicine of Minnesota is a membership practice in Apple Valley where Dr. Westmoreland is the only doctor. One annual fee covers office visits, video and phone appointments, and direct messaging with her, and she guarantees same or next-day scheduling. New patients start with a free meet and greet, then sign a membership agreement, and the staff gathers their old records before the first full exam. Menopause and perimenopause care is her own work, and she treats hormone therapy as one option to weigh against a patient's history rather than something she starts by default. The practice says it does not use compounded medications, citing thin scientific backing and possible risks. Women who would rather not join can pay for a single two-hour consultation with her instead, and members can have her come to the house for an extra fee.
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.

Lori Stepp is a family nurse practitioner at Lakefront Wellness, a clinic in Lakeland that pairs hormone therapy with IV hydration, weight management and aesthetics. Her own focus there is hormones, weight, nutrition and vitamins. Hormone care starts with a short intake visit, then lab work and a longer visit to go over the results and set a bioidentical hormone plan. Follow-ups come every three to six months with repeat labs and refills. She came to this work after her own symptoms were brushed off as normal, and she has taught women's health as a nursing professor. The clinic sees patients in person by appointment and books online.
Women's Health Specialists is an OB/GYN group in East Memphis with seven physicians and two advanced practice clinicians, and it is a division of Memphis Obstetrics and Gynecological Association. Dr. Moore has been in private practice in Memphis since 1984 and has stopped delivering babies, so her work now centers on gynecology and on helping patients live healthier lives as they age. She is the only clinician in the group whose page names the Menopause Society certification, and she has also done professional training in low carb nutrition. The group lists hormone replacement among its gynecology services and offers the MonaLisa Touch vaginal laser for menopausal dryness and painful sex. Biopsies, colposcopy, IUD placement and lab work are done in the office rather than sent out. Her name is not on the online new patient request form, so a new patient reaches her by calling the office.
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.
Jackie Stone, MD sees women entirely by telehealth, in a practice she runs alone. She is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and in obesity medicine, and treats perimenopause, menopause and primary ovarian insufficiency alongside PCOS, genitourinary symptoms, sexual wellness, and skin and hair changes. First visits run a full hour and cover past records, labs and a treatment plan. Ongoing care is by monthly membership or visit by visit, with direct messaging for members.
She is a chiropractor and a certified functional medicine practitioner, so she does not prescribe. Her part of menopause care is lab testing, supplement plans and lifestyle coaching, while the practice's nurse practitioner handles prescribing including hormone therapy. Involve Health runs a six-month perimenopause and menopause program in which the two of them work as a care team, starting with a long first visit in person or by video plus lab recommendations, then a session going through each result and what it means. She also holds a master's in positive psychology and coaching psychology, which is why one-on-one coaching sits between the clinical visits rather than being an extra. She went through perimenopause herself at 41 and says that is what turned her toward this work. Anyone with an acute injury, an active illness or active cancer is pointed to conventional medicine instead.
Therapy for Midlife is Dr. Rashkis's solo virtual practice, and every session runs over video. She works with women moving through perimenopause and menopause, and she also sees men in midlife and couples. Care is talk therapy only, and the FAQ says the practice does not prescribe medication, though she will discuss a referral to a prescribing physician and can speak with your own doctor if you give written permission. For menopause she uses cognitive behavioral therapy for the distress that comes with hot flashes and CBT for insomnia for sleep trouble, alongside acceptance and commitment therapy and emotionally focused therapy. Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly at first and then spaced further apart, and she says most clients need five to fifteen of them. She is a lifelong competitive athlete who says she went through her own midlife upheaval, which is what led her to start the practice.
She founded this functional medicine clinic in Largo and is also an emergency medicine physician with more than 18 years in clinical practice. Menopause and perimenopause care sits alongside men's hormone care, weight management and longevity services. New patients start with a short discovery call, then a full lab panel before the first visit with a provider. Women who still have periods are asked to time the blood draw to days 19 to 21 of their cycle. Hormone therapy here uses bioidentical hormones guided by lab work and genomic testing. The practice does not bill insurance, and visits happen in the office or by video.
Dana Johnson is a registered nurse who spent about 20 years in the ICU before founding Qavah Functional Wellness, a telehealth-only practice. She started it after her own Long COVID turned into autoimmune and gut problems and then a hard menopause transition. Hormone therapy is offered to Alabama residents only, while the lab and gut health services also reach a few other southern states. Each hormone plan starts with lab work and a consultation, and bioidentical hormones come as creams, gels, pills, troches or injections. Prescriptions are written by the practice's licensed providers rather than by Dana, who is a nurse. New patients start with an online consultation request, and the team calls back within one business day.
Dr. Bernstein runs a small self-pay practice in Frisco devoted only to menopause, perimenopause and midlife sexual health. She spent more than 25 years as an OB/GYN in Summit and Eagle counties before opening it. Care starts with a free 15 minute phone call, then either a single one-hour visit or a six-month plan with monthly follow-ups and unlimited portal messaging, in person or by video. She often prescribes bioidentical hormones but will not use pellets because the dose cannot be adjusted, and she offers non-hormonal options for women who can't or won't take hormones. Sexual health is a real focus, with a separate consultation for painful sex, low libido and vaginal or urinary symptoms. She works alongside your regular gynecologist rather than replacing it, so Pap tests and mammograms stay with them.
A solo direct-pay practice in Lone Tree whose stated scope is dermatology, cosmetic procedures and medically supervised weight management. The physician is board certified in dermatology and obesity medicine. Every initial visit is by video, with in-person follow-ups by appointment, and the practice does not bill insurance. Hormone replacement therapy is named only as one reason for a new-patient visit on the fee schedule, and no hormone or menopause care is described anywhere else on the site.
Lotus Center for Women is a Chattanooga practice run by women nurse practitioners that focuses on women over 40. Lauren Barlew owns the practice. The team treats perimenopause and menopause along with sexual health problems like low desire, painful sex, vulvodynia and interstitial cystitis. Hormone therapy is offered, and there are non-hormonal options for women who can't or don't want to take hormones. Well-woman exams are only for patients already being seen for midlife care, never at the first visit. Lauren herself currently sees only established patients, and new patients are booked with the other nurse practitioners.
Katherine Haney runs HaneyGYN, a small private gynecology practice in Nashville she started in 2021 after twenty years in obstetrics and gynecology. She writes that she went into medicine following her father and grandfather, and that leaving insurance behind was how she got her time back for patients. The practice bills no insurance, so a patient pays at the visit and files her own claim if she wants to. On menopause the practice says Dr. Haney personalizes hormonal and non-hormonal treatment, and its intake form asks what hormone treatment a woman is on now and what she tried before. She also runs a twelve week weight loss program with a nutrition coach that includes three one-on-one visits with her. A women's health nurse practitioner now sees patients alongside her on her own schedule.
Kate Dwyer is a registered dietitian with a doctorate in clinical nutrition who runs an online nutrition counseling practice. She works with women on perimenopause and menopause, fertility and pregnancy, and PCOS. She does not prescribe hormone therapy.
Dr. Anyaoku founded Hibiscus Aesthetics and Wellness in Katy and is the only clinician there. Hormone care starts with a wide lab panel rather than a symptom questionnaire, and she orders markers like free T3, DHEA-S and fasting insulin that a standard physical skips. She prescribes bioidentical hormones as patches, creams, injections or pills, and no page on the site mentions pellets. She is also a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, so weight and hormone questions get handled in the same visit. Aesthetic treatments happen in person at the Katy clinic, while hormone, weight and longevity care can be done by video in 23 states. You pay per visit and there is no membership or package.
Dr. Lynn founded Evora Women's Health and runs the gynecology side of a small concierge office in Creve Coeur. She is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and in obesity medicine, and she trained as a sexual counselor at Sexual Medicine Associates in Florida. Menopause and sexual health are what she is known for, and her own pages name hormone therapy, chronic pelvic pain and urinary incontinence among the things she manages. First visits last a full hour, and anyone can book a free fifteen minute meeting with her in the office or by video before committing to anything. She shares the office with an internist, an endocrinologist, a psychiatrist, dietitians, trainers and a physical therapist, so a weight loss or pelvic floor plan gets built in one place. She also mentors physicians in other states who want to open concierge practices of their own, and she keeps a small shop of the products she recommends for vaginal dryness.
IntimMedicine Specialists is a small Washington DC practice that Dr. Simon founded and still runs as medical director, with two physician assistants who have worked with him since the 1990s. He treats women across the whole reproductive span, and the midlife side of the practice covers menopause and perimenopause, low testosterone, bone loss, sexual pain and sexual function after cancer. His approach to hormones is to balance estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and the practice says most women can use hormone therapy with few risks. For testosterone he will use gels, injections or pellets, and he says he does not treat on lab values alone. Visits happen in the M Street office or by video, and virtual appointments are offered on Saturday mornings as well as weekdays. New patients submit a form or call and the office rings back to finish booking, and because the practice runs its own clinical trials some patients are offered a place in a study.
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.
Amy Molder is a women's health nurse practitioner in the OB/GYN department at Murfreesboro Medical Clinic, a large multi specialty group that has been caring for Rutherford County for more than 60 years. She sees patients at the main Garrison Drive campus, and she is the only provider the department lists with Menopause Society certification. Her own bio says her special interest is caring for women through the perimenopausal and menopausal years. The department runs a Menopause Center that books 30 and 15 minute visits and prescribes menopause hormone therapy, plus help for sleep, mood changes and hot flashes. The Menopause Center also works on weight changes that come with menopause, and its patient handout covers injectable weight loss medication and how to manage the nausea and constipation that follow. She trained in female sexual health in 2009 and is a member of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health, and the department's gynecology list includes low sex drive and pain with intercourse.
Amanda Needham is a women's health nurse practitioner at Vanderbilt's Columbia women's health office, and she also sees patients at the Lawrenceburg location. Her care runs through Vanderbilt's gynecology service, which treats menopause and hormone disorders and offers hormone replacement therapy. Her own listed focus is general gynecology, annual exams and menstrual cycle problems, and she carries a share of the office's obstetric work. She trained as a nurse practitioner at Vanderbilt's own school of nursing in 2000 and added a certification in electronic fetal monitoring in 2016. New patients can book her online through the Vanderbilt patient portal. Vanderbilt publishes her patient survey comments in full, praise and complaints alike, so you can read how other women found her before you book.
