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. 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.
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.
