Dr. Ayim has run her own solo practice in west Houston for more than fifteen years, doing gynecology and cosmetic surgery in the same office. For midlife women she treats perimenopause and menopause with hormone replacement therapy, vaginal estrogen cream, non-hormonal medicines such as SSRIs, and bioidentical hormone pellets as a certified BioTE provider. Hormone care can be paid for visit by visit or taken as a monthly membership, which runs on a twelve month commitment and covers pellet insertions plus one lab panel a year. She also performs laparoscopic gynecologic surgery, so a patient who needs a hysterectomy or fibroid removal can stay with her. Her own bio puts nutrition and fitness at the center of how she works, and the office keeps an interactive screen in every exam room for patients to use during a visit. New patient forms are posted online to print and bring to the first visit.

Lindsay Botsford is a family physician at One Medical's BLVD Place office in Houston, which is a general primary care practice and not a menopause clinic. Her own page on the One Medical site says she is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, and most of her Houston colleagues' pages carry no such line. The office page says you can book online without a membership and that visits are billed to you or your insurance. She is also a regional medical director for One Medical across Texas and the Midwest, and she still keeps her own panel of continuity patients. Her page has no booking link of her own, so the One Medical sign-up does not let a new patient choose her by name. Nothing on the site says what One Medical prescribes for menopause.
Dr. Pellicena runs her own solo OB-GYN office in the Houston Heights and has been in the area since 2010. She still practices obstetrics, including high-risk pregnancies, so midlife care sits inside a full gynecology practice rather than a standalone hormone clinic. Her menopause page is written in her own voice and puts the emphasis on hormonal assessment and bioidentical hormone replacement across more than one route of administration. The practice is a certified BioTE provider, so the hormone route it actually describes is compounded pellets placed under the skin and replaced every four to six months. She also offers the BioTE nutraceutical line and will build a supplement plan alongside the hormone therapy. She grew up in Madrid and sees patients in Spanish as well as English.
Dr. Rao is an OB/GYN at Kelsey-Seybold Clinic, a large Houston multispecialty group, and she is one of only a handful of its providers whose profile carries a Menopause Care specialty tag next to OB/GYN. She trained at Baylor, where she was chief resident, and she sees patients in English and Hindi. She still runs a full obstetric and gynecologic practice rather than a menopause only one. Her menopause work covers hot flashes, bone loss, bladder symptoms and pain during sex, and she also does minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. She sees patients at the Rice Village OB/GYN office and the Downtown Clinic, and operates at the Berthelsen Main Campus surgery center. Care is booked through the group's own round the clock scheduling line or its patient portal, and her profile shows her open to new patients.
Dr. Christi founded this Houston practice in 2014 and runs it as two arms in one building, a urogynecology and surgery office and a separate longevity, hormone and aesthetics clinic a few suites down. She is a board certified urologist who spent her career in female urology and urogynecology, so prolapse, urinary incontinence, overactive bladder and recurrent urinary tract infections are her core work, and she has her own treatment pathway for interstitial cystitis. Hormone care for perimenopause and menopause runs through a year long concierge program with two tiers, built on an 80 marker blood panel and quarterly dose adjustments. The hormone pages describe bioidentical estradiol, progesterone and testosterone delivered as pellet implants, transdermal creams or sublingual troches, and say she inserts the pellets herself. The menopause page markets the practice as not a pellet mill, while the hormone pages put pellet implants first, which is worth knowing before a visit. She wrote a book on aging called The BioVitality Blueprint, and the practice says she and her husband use the same hormone therapy it prescribes.
Dr. Sims is a Houston OB-GYN who runs a perimenopause and menopause clinic inside her own practice. Most visits happen by video, and established patients can also be seen at her central Houston office. New patients start with a virtual visit that opens with a short group orientation and then moves to private time with her. She mixes standard hormone therapy with functional medicine, herbs and Ayurveda, and she also treats low testosterone in women and runs a medical weight loss program. She writes openly about her own autoimmune illness and losing 70 pounds, which is what pushed her toward this style of care. Her main practice bills insurance, and women outside her network can join a separate self-pay program built around labs and education modules.
Dr. Groves is a gynecologist at a large, physician-owned internal medicine clinic in Houston. After several years of delivering babies in private practice, she now sees only gynecology patients, adults aged 17 and over. She lists perimenopause and menopause care and hormone replacement therapy among her areas of expertise, along with alternatives to hormone therapy. She also does in-office procedures such as IUD placement, Nexplanon, colposcopy and endometrial biopsy. Her stated approach is evidence based and whole person, with longer visits set aside for complex or multifactorial concerns. New patients book by calling her office, and the clinic's online appointment requests are for established patients only.
Dr. Tarrant is one of two gynecologists at Medical Clinic of Houston, a physician owned multi specialty clinic near Rice University, and she works out of its sixth floor. She is a board certified OB-GYN whose practice here is limited to clinic based gynecology, so she does no obstetrics. She sees adult women from menarche through menopause and beyond, and her bio names hormone replacement therapy and alternatives to hormone therapy among the things she treats. She came to medicine from biomedical engineering at Vanderbilt and has more than twenty years of clinical practice behind her. She has recorded short video answers to about twenty patient questions on her profile, covering how her office runs and what she considers as an alternative to medication. New patients start by calling her secretary, since the clinic's online appointment request only works for established patients in the portal.
Dr. Ukazu founded New Dawn Wellness and Medical Center and is the only doctor there seeing gynecology patients. Her menopause page names hormone replacement therapy, non-hormonal options and lifestyle counseling, with symptom work for hot flashes, mood swings and sleep. She also practices addiction medicine after a fellowship at Rutgers, so substance use treatment runs out of the same clinic. Routine gynecology sits alongside that, and she says she uses minimally invasive methods when surgery is needed. The clinic runs its own clinical trials as well, with a research team and a pre-screening form for anyone who wants to take part. New patients book online and pick their own slot.
Christy Claverie is a women's health nurse practitioner at the Tanglewood office of Complete Women's Care Center, a three office obstetrics and gynaecology group in Houston. She spent years as a labour and delivery and emergency room nurse in Louisiana and Texas before qualifying as a nurse practitioner in 2018, and joined this practice in 2019. Her own bio is the part of the site that names menopause for her, and it says she helps women weigh evidence based treatment choices through perimenopause and after. The practice page about menopause care speaks for its doctors rather than its nurse practitioners, so her own certification is the clearer signal here. Alongside menopause care she sees pregnancy and gynaecology patients and does her own obstetric and gynaecologic ultrasounds. Her online booking calendar is not published, so a new patient sends an appointment request or calls the office.
Dr. Patni has been with Kelsey-Seybold Clinic since 2009 and sees patients at the group's Rice Village OB/GYN office, which has three OB-GYNs. Her profile names menopause care as a specialty alongside general OB-GYN, and her bio says she works on midlife health through lifestyle changes, hormone therapy and osteoporosis prevention. She also runs a full obstetric practice and does minimally invasive gynaecologic surgery, so menopause is one part of her work rather than all of it. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and trained at UTHealth in Houston. Her published research, under her earlier surname Phatak, includes work on preventing preterm birth. Her page shows her as welcoming new patients and starts the scheduling flow from the profile itself.
Dr. Perez is an obstetrician gynaecologist at the UT Physicians Women's Center in Memorial City, the clinical practice of UTHealth Houston. She went to medical school and trained in residency at UT Southwestern and is board certified in obstetrics and gynaecology. UT Physicians gives every provider the same short profile of schooling, board certification and languages, so the site never says what she treats or which hormone therapies she prescribes. Her profile at UT Physicians is new and longtime patients have followed her from a previous practice, including one who says she has seen her for more than twelve years. A patient review on her page describes her talking through menopause. New patients book by sending the Women's Centers appointment request form, which lets you name her as the preferred physician.
