Menopause Society Certified Practitioners in Texas
335 practitioners have an office in Texas, and 109 more can see patients here by telehealth. 283 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Houston, Austin and Dallas.
Yinka Sokunbi is a certified nurse midwife who runs a small cash-pay women's health practice with offices in McKinney and Frisco. Most menopause care happens by video for Texas residents, with labs ordered to a nearby lab and prescriptions sent to your pharmacy. She prescribes FDA-approved hormone therapy and also compounded formulations, and plans ahead for bone health with referrals for bone density scans. New patients fill out intake questionnaires before the first visit, and the final fee is set after she reviews them. She started the practice after growing frustrated with how little time insurance-driven clinics allowed with patients. She trained in nursing and midwifery in the United Kingdom and now also teaches at Thomas Jefferson University.
Stephanie Martinez runs Prime Optimal Health, a small practice in the Belton and Temple area of Central Texas. She sees women by telehealth in Texas, Colorado, Montana and New Mexico, and offers some in-person care locally. New patients can start with a free discovery call, then a 45 to 60 minute midlife consultation. You can stop at an assessment and plan, or choose a short program or a 90-day program that starts hormone therapy and follows up as you adjust, and established patients can move to a monthly membership. She came to menopause care from urgent care, where she kept meeting tired, struggling patients who had been told their labs looked normal.
Dr. Krapf runs her own gynecology practice in South Tampa focused on vulvar and pelvic pain, vulvar skin conditions such as lichen sclerosus, recurrent vaginitis and menopause. She spent several years as an associate director at a Washington DC center devoted to vulvar pain before opening the Tampa office in 2023. Her site puts menopause alongside vulvar pain and skin conditions, so she is a natural fit for women whose menopause symptoms show up as painful sex or vulvar discomfort. She co-wrote the book When Sex Hurts and helps edit a medical textbook on female sexual pain. New patients start by emailing the office to request a consult, and her former DC patients can continue with her in Tampa.

MyMenopauseRx is a virtual menopause practice founded by a gynecologist, and Krantz is one of about a dozen clinicians a patient can pick from. Visits are video appointments of about thirty minutes, and most patients come back every eight to twelve weeks until their symptoms settle. She prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone rather than compounded hormones, and the practice is clear that it works alongside a patient's own primary care doctor rather than replacing it. Testosterone is written only for patients located in Illinois, and everyone else gets the prescription from their own doctor while the practice manages the dosing. Krantz has practiced for more than thirty years in university, HMO, community health and telehealth settings, and she completed the integrative medicine fellowship at the University of Arizona with training in medical acupuncture. She works from Oregon and says she has aged alongside her patients, which is how menopause care became her emphasis.
She is a board-certified psychiatrist who focuses on the mental health side of perimenopause. That means anxiety, low mood, irritability, poor sleep and brain fog that arrive in midlife. Care is online only and starts with a free 15-minute call and a long intake, then follow-ups that blend medication and lifestyle work. Medication can include antidepressants, sleep support, non-hormonal options for hot flashes, and estrogen and progesterone when they fit. She says she aims for the least medication that gets a real result. She spent 12 years in the military, including as medical director of an inpatient mental health unit.
Takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna +8 · first visit $275
Toun Sogbein is a women's health nurse practitioner with Visana Health, a women's health practice that works entirely by video out of Minneapolis. She handles menopause and perimenopause along with the gynecological and sexual health problems that often sit alongside them, and she came to this work from public health clinics and a community health degree. First visits run 45 minutes, and patients stay with the same provider and can message the care team through the patient portal between visits. Visana's menopause care follows protocols written by Dr. Barbara Levy, and a patient can go the hormone route or a non-hormonal one after talking it through. Labs and imaging get ordered near home when they are needed, and optional health coaching covers food and exercise for anyone who wants that support. Many patients reach Visana through an employer or health plan, and the site has a start page where you look up yours.
Aspire is a small concierge women's health practice in downtown Northfield that Lillian Medhus founded, with video visits for women in Minnesota, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. It works alongside your primary care provider rather than replacing it, and it does no pregnancy care. Care starts with a 90-minute first visit, then a six-month program of hour-long visits, labs, coaching and messaging before you move to an ongoing membership. Menopause care centers on individual hormone therapy decisions, and members join an HRT club when they need it. Medhus also focuses on endometriosis, PCOS, pelvic pain and sexual health, and says her own health struggles led her to build the practice. If you are unsure, you can request a 20-minute call with one of the nurses first.
Kelly Ellis runs Revive Women's Health on her own in Granville, Ohio, and sees women either in the office or by video. She spent more than 20 years in women's health as a certified nurse midwife and women's health nurse practitioner, and she says that midwifery background is what she brings to hormone therapy. A first visit is a full hour, which she sets against the rushed 10 or 15 minute appointment, and follow-ups are half that. Depending on what you need, a plan can include menopause hormone therapy, nonhormonal medication, vaginal estrogen, testosterone when appropriate, sexual health treatment, and sleep and lifestyle changes. She is direct that hormones are not right for everyone and not the only thing she can offer. Patients book their own appointments through her online portal, and there is a free 15 minute call first for anyone unsure where to start.
Jackie Piasta runs a small solo membership practice in East Cobb focused on hormones, perimenopause and menopause, and midlife metabolic health. New patients start with a nurse-led pre-visit to line up labs and then an hour-long consultation with her, and ongoing care after that requires joining the membership. Members message the team through a portal and a text line, and follow-ups run 30 to 40 minutes in person or by video. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone but does not offer hormone pellets. She is also an obesity medicine specialist who prescribes GLP-1 weight medications and treats thyroid, bladder and bone problems. New patient appointments are booking two to three months out, and she teaches menopause care to nurse practitioner students at Vanderbilt.
Bold Wellness is Torrie Clontz's own virtual practice for women in midlife, run from Las Vegas and open to patients in about fifteen states. Care starts with a two visit intake that includes a wide blood panel drawn at a lab near you and a follow up to go through the results and set a plan. After that most patients stay on a monthly membership that covers prescription changes and messaging with her through the patient portal. Alongside hormone therapy she runs a weight and metabolic program using GLP-1 medication, and she adds functional tests such as gut, cortisol and vaginal microbiome panels when they fit. She is clear that she is not a primary care provider or an OB-GYN, so patients need to keep their own and see her for the hormone and midlife side. Her own hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos diagnosis, which came after a circus career ended in injury, is why she started the practice and she treats that alongside hormones.
Dr. Allison runs a small telemedicine practice for women in perimenopause and menopause. She spent 14 years as an emergency physician before moving into midlife women's care. She prescribes FDA approved hormone therapy and testosterone, and offers non-hormonal medicines for women who can't or won't take hormones. New patients fill out long history forms first, then have a 75 minute first visit and a short check-in two weeks later. She also covers bone health, breast cancer risk and prevention planning. She does not replace your primary care doctor or gynecologist, and she expects you to keep them.
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.
Takes Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield +15 · from $17/mo
Kayla Barry is a family nurse practitioner at One Medical's Addison Prestonwood Place office in north Dallas, a two-provider primary care office. She moved from New England to Dallas in April 2024, and her own bio lists women's health, mental health, gender-affirming care and obesity medicine among her clinical interests and says she is a certified menopause provider. Menopause is handled as a primary care visit here, and One Medical's booking system offers menopause visit reasons including a menopause health check and a menopause follow up. Care runs on a One Medical membership, with in-app messaging and on-demand video included and scheduled office or video visits billed to insurance. 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 menopause treatments its providers prescribe, so there is no published detail on hormone therapy for her.

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.
Nefertari McClarity is a family nurse practitioner who runs a small virtual clinic for women in perimenopause and menopause. All visits are by video. Care starts with a long first visit and labs, then a second visit to go over results and set a plan. She prescribes hormone therapy including testosterone, offers non-hormonal options and GLP-1 medication for weight, and puts a lot of weight on gut health, with stool and SIBO testing available.
Dr. Moyers runs her own concierge gynecology practice in Fort Worth, built around perimenopause, menopause and sexual health. Most patients join a yearly membership that covers an annual physical plus eight more visits and direct access to her by phone and email, and pay-per-visit appointments are also available for those not ready to commit. She prescribes estrogen and progesterone in several forms and offers testosterone for low desire, along with in-office treatments like MonaLisa Touch laser and pelvic floor Botox. Sexual health is half of her focus and she also does osteopathic manipulation, so painful sex and pelvic pain get real attention here. Follow-ups can be done by video for patients in Texas and West Virginia, but exams and procedures happen at the Fort Worth office. The practice suggests women over 50 keep a separate primary care doctor.
She is a family nurse practitioner at UT Health San Antonio and works out of the Gateway clinic on Wurzbach Road. Her profile places her in two departments there, Endocrinology and Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolic Health. The diabetes team is led by an endocrinologist who works with nurse practitioners alongside the physicians. UT Health publishes no biography, no clinical interests and no conditions list for her, which is how the site treats its advanced practice providers generally. The other nurse practitioner in her department has the same blank profile, while every physician there carries a department list of interests that is word for word identical on each of their pages. Her page does say she is taking new patients, and established patients reach her through the health system's patient portal.
Dr. Wiggins-Smith is one of seven providers at Texas Health Women's Care in Bedford, an obstetrics and gynaecology office in the Texas Health Physicians Group. She trained twice, finishing residencies in both family medicine and obstetrics and gynaecology at Texas Tech in Lubbock. Her own page names menopause medicine as a special focus, along with managing diabetes and high blood pressure in pregnancy. She spent more than a decade practising in San Angelo before moving to North Texas. The Bedford office lists hormone therapy and menopause treatment and counselling among its gynaecology services, and she also does minimally invasive and robotic gynaecologic surgery. She sees patients by video as well as in the office.
A solo direct primary care practice in New Braunfels where menopause and perimenopause care sits inside general family medicine. The physician holds the Menopause Society Certified Practitioner credential and also sees children and chronic disease. A flat monthly membership covers unlimited visits in person or by video, same and next-day appointments, and direct messaging by text, phone or email. The menopause first visit is an unhurried history, with labs ordered only where they would help, since the practice treats perimenopause as a clinical diagnosis rather than a lab one, and says openly that hormones are not the answer to everything.
Medcare Associates is a five-clinic primary care group in and around San Antonio, and Steffany Mock sees patients at its Sonterra office in the far north of the city. The group was built around walk-in care, and its founder's rule is that sick patients can be seen the same day without an appointment. The staff page says she practises family medicine at Sonterra, and that one sentence is everything the site publishes about her. Nothing on the site mentions menopause, perimenopause or hormone therapy for her or for any of the other twelve providers. The services page covers general primary care, in-house labs and X-rays, and women's health including pap smears.
Natalie Bachynsky founded Houston County Family Medical Clinic in Crockett in 2020 and still sees patients there. It is a rural family practice caring for infants, children and adults. Menopause care is part of its women's health service, which offers both hormonal and non-hormonal treatment for symptoms like hot flashes and insomnia. The clinic bills insurance and welcomes walk-ins, and new patients can print a registration packet from the website before their first visit. Before moving to East Texas she spent ten years caring for women and infants in the Texas Medical Center and taught nursing at UTMB for seven years.
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.
Christine McRae is a physician assistant at Methodist Family Health Center in Murphy, a primary care office she shares with three family physicians. She has practiced since 2001, and her profile names women's health, weight management and menopause-related care as her particular interests. The clinic lists perimenopause and menopause symptoms among the care it offers and credits a Menopause Society certified practitioner, who is her. In interviews for Methodist's own health publication she describes keeping women on the lowest effective dose of hormone therapy and pairing a GLP-1 medication with it when weight gain is the main complaint. She also recommends an anti-inflammatory diet high in protein and fiber as part of that care. Away from the clinic she is a professional photographer.
Jessamy Anderson-Hill is a family nurse practitioner at Texas Tech Physicians in Lubbock, the clinical practice of Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Her family medicine department lists menopause management on its own services page, under women's health alongside well-woman exams, contraception and PCOS care. Her provider page itself carries no bio and no areas of interest, and six colleague pages on the same directory are blank the same way, so the system publishes no clinical detail for anyone. That page also drops the accepting new patients badge her colleagues carry, so she is not taking new patients even though her clinic is. Lubbock family medicine is one of the clinics the system lists for both telephone and video appointments.
