Kelly Perisin is a nurse practitioner at MyMenopauseRx, a video-only practice that treats nothing but perimenopause and menopause. It was started by a Chicago-area gynecologist and bills insurance like a regular office. Visits take about 30 minutes on Zoom, and you can book the same clinician every time and message the care team between visits. Kelly came to menopause care from weight management and urgent care, and she draws on that when helping women with midlife weight gain. The practice prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone sent to your own pharmacy, and it prescribes testosterone directly only for patients in Illinois. It is meant to work alongside your own primary care doctor, who still handles anything that needs a physical exam.
Marissa Langford is one of the nurse practitioners at Complete Midlife Wellness Center, a practice started by an OB/GYN in 2020 that sees only midlife women. She works from the Cypress office, and the practice also sees patients by video. New patients fill out a request form on the site and the care team calls back within one business day to schedule. Starting care comes in two set levels, a 45-minute visit with a limited lab panel or a 90-minute visit with a fuller panel and a follow-up visit included. She moved into women's health in 2022 after years in primary care and pediatric wellness, and she is trained in bioidentical hormone replacement and pellet placement. The practice says it has placed more than 15,000 pellets and will recommend them only when they are the right fit, and Marissa sees patients in Spanish as well as English.
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.
A solo direct primary care practice in Fort Worth caring for all ages, whose physician has a stated special interest in perimenopause and menopause and holds a Menopause Society certificate. A flat monthly membership covers unlimited office visits plus phone, text and video access, with hormone therapy and weight management included and labs, prescriptions and imaging arranged at posted wholesale prices. Alongside menopause care she manages chronic disease, acute illness, preventive care and in-office procedures. Her own writing holds that perimenopause is diagnosed from symptom pattern and menstrual history rather than routine hormone testing, and weighs hormone therapy, non-hormonal medication and lifestyle measures case by case.
Dr. Ughanze is an OB-GYN with UT Physicians who says menopause management is her specialized focus. She still practices both obstetrics and gynecology, so she sees women from their teens through menopause and after. She also teaches as an assistant professor at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston. She sees patients in person at the group's women's centers in Friendswood and southeast Houston. New patients can request an appointment online or by phone through the UT Physicians system, which bills insurance.
Dr. Pekowski is a family medicine physician at the Baylor Scott & White Clinic in Marble Falls, where she sees patients from age five through older adulthood. Her profile names preventive care, chronic disease management, women's health and menopausal care as her professional interests, and she belongs to The Menopause Society. The clinic is a primary care office with no gynecologists on its roster, so a menopause conversation here happens inside a regular family medicine appointment. She offers video visits alongside office visits, and a new patient can book with her online. She also writes for the health system's blog, including a piece on bone density scanning and osteoporosis screening. No page names a specific hormone treatment she prescribes.
Dr. Lutich is the medical director of UT Southwestern's Lowe Foundation Center for Women's Preventative Health Care, a gynaecology clinic on the ninth floor of Professional Office Building 2 in Dallas. She is the only one of the clinic's seven providers whose listed clinical focus is menopause management, and her bio adds that she treats perimenopause and premature menopause. She stopped practising general obstetrics in 2019 and has done gynaecology only since then. Bone health is a real part of her work. She is certified by the International Society of Clinical Densitometry, the clinic runs its own bone density scanning, and she wrote UT Southwestern's patient article on why osteoporosis mostly affects women. A new patient starts by filling in a request form for her by name, and the clinic says it replies within one business day.
Krystal has worked alongside Dr. Mascorro for more than ten years and was a registered nurse for seven years before that. She is one of three nurse practitioners at EmpowHer in Abilene, where the two obstetrician gynecologists and all the nurse practitioners took Heather Hirsch's hormone course. The practice runs two websites, one for conventional gynecology billed to insurance and one for cash pay wellness and hormone consults. Krystal works on the insurance side and sees patients in person or by video anywhere in Texas. For hormones the team prefers FDA approved estradiol, testosterone and progesterone, and will use compounded medication only if a patient would rather have it. They refuse pellets outright, saying absorption is erratic and the risks are higher than patches or pills.
Schakett is one of eight clinicians at Houston Methodist Obstetrics and Gynecology Associates in The Woodlands, a hospital system office that does both obstetrics and general gynecology. Houston Methodist lists menopause and hormone management among her clinical interests and says in her bio that she is certified by The Menopause Society. The rest of that list is ordinary obstetrics and gynecology, from annual exams and contraception through endometriosis, infertility and robotic surgery. Five colleagues in the same office have hormone replacement therapy written into that same field and she does not, so the system names no hormone treatment for her. She trained in the Texas Medical Center, was elected chief resident by her peers, and was in the first residency class there to earn certification in Da Vinci robotic surgery. Her own profile says she offers no video visits while two colleagues at the same address do, so a first appointment means going to the office.
Abby Brown is the only midwife at Central Texas Holistic Health, a small Austin practice that two physician assistants founded and that now has five clinicians. She covers the women's health side, which the practice says includes menopause and hormone concerns. Her bio describes her work now as office-based gynecologic care, after seventeen years that ran from a public health midwifery practice on the Lower East Side of Manhattan to a lectureship in midwifery in London. Her colleagues cover family medicine and endocrine care, so a patient may see someone else for thyroid or bone problems. The practice mixes conventional medicine with nutraceuticals and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and acupuncture and herbal formulas are part of what it offers. Her own page says she is known for gentle exams and for owning the world's most unfortunate-looking dog.
Dr. Garcia-Davalos runs a solo primary care and internal medicine office in Laredo, the city where she grew up. She trained in New York and practised in Miami for two years before returning home to open her own practice. Her menopause care covers both hormone and non-hormone treatment, and she says every woman's experience of it is different. Most of the practice is general adult medicine, so she also manages diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. She is also the medical director at a nursing and rehabilitation centre in Laredo. Her contact page currently says she is not taking new patients and that office hours are temporarily shorter than usual.
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.
Courtnee sees patients at EmpowHer Women's Health and Wellness, a six-clinician women's health practice in Abilene, and visits can be in person or by video. She qualified as a nurse at Texas Tech in 2003 and worked in the NICU, in labor and delivery, and in plastic surgery before training as a nurse practitioner. She has worked only in women's health since 2011 and has been with Dr Mascorro since 2014. The practice names menopause care among its services and says hormone replacement therapy may be recommended, with assessment and treatment for bone health after menopause. It sells its own range of supplements and runs a medical weight loss program. The practice says its mission is to exemplify the character of Jesus in all it does.
Dr. Praderio runs a solo practice in Corpus Christi that pairs gynecology with a medspa, under the names Modern Gyn and Modern Medspa. For menopause she offers both FDA approved hormone therapy and compounded bioidentical options including pellets, and chooses between them from a woman's symptoms, hormone levels and medical history. She also treats vaginal dryness and mild urinary leakage with in office radiofrequency devices and a platelet rich plasma injection, and runs a weight loss program built on weekly visits, body composition checks and a GLP-1 medication. Her new patient page is unusually blunt about the limits of the practice. She is not currently treating endometriosis, heavy bleeding, PCOS or pelvic pain, she expects every patient to keep her own primary care physician, and she requires a progress note from that physician before an appointment will go ahead. She also says plainly that a request does not guarantee an appointment, because there are few gynecologists left in the area.
Takes Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield +24 · $75 per visit
FEM Centre is a women's health and hormone practice with offices in Colleyville and Fort Worth, and Gayla is one of six clinicians there under medical director Joseph McWherter. Her own focus is gynecology, hormone management and breast health, and she is certified in The Wiley Protocol method of hormonal balancing and in reading breast thermograms. The practice doses bio-identical hormones by a patient's symptoms rather than blood levels alone, and says it avoids animal and non-bio-identical preparations. A first visit cannot be combined with an annual exam because the practice sets aside more time to establish care, and hormone problems do not go to the internal medicine physician on staff. Both offices run a walk-in lab, and mammograms are not done on site although the practice will write the order. New patients request an appointment through a form and may be placed on a waitlist before being scheduled.
Dr. Roberts is one of ten clinicians at OB-GYN North Dallas, a Plano group that has been seeing women since 1980. He is a board-certified OB-GYN, and the practice's menopause page speaks of him personally as offering treatment for menopause. It is a full-scope office, so menopause care sits alongside prenatal care, birth control, infertility and high-risk pregnancy rather than being the whole practice. The menopause page describes hormone therapy as an option when symptoms do not fade, with close monitoring and dose changes over time. The office is on the Plano hospital campus, offers same-day appointments, and many staff and doctors speak Spanish. The site shows no virtual visits, so care is in person.
Online Benign Gyne is Dr. Todd's own telehealth practice, and every visit happens by video. She sees women for contraception, breast concerns, vaginal and vulva problems, menopause and facial skin care, and consultations and referrals are part of what she offers. Her site carries long plain-language explainers on hormone therapy, PCOS, urinary infections and breast exams. She is a New Orleans native and a military veteran who served during Operation Desert Storm and later at Walter Reed Medical Center. She says she especially enjoys caring for older women because she has faced the same changes herself. New patients can pick a video slot through the practice's own online scheduler.
Complete Women's Care Center is a Houston obstetrics and gynecology group with three offices, and Dr. Ohlemacher practices at the Pearland one full time. The group's menopause page says its doctors guide patients through hormone replacement, bone health and sexuality, and it describes that as a service of the practice rather than of one doctor. Every physician here lists the same conditions treated, so nothing in that list is specific to her. She joined the group straight from her Houston residency in 2009 and later became a certified menopause physician through the Menopause Society. On her own page she writes that she treats each woman like a sister, and her stated interests in gynecology are minimally invasive surgery and procedures without incisions. Blood work and ultrasound are done in the office at all three locations, and video visits are offered when appropriate.
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.
David Rogers is an obstetrician gynaecologist at Texas Tech Physicians in Lubbock and an associate professor in the university's obstetrics and gynaecology department. His faculty profile lists only two clinical interests, gynaecology and menopause, and that is the only place either of his pages says what he focuses on. He earned his medical degree at UT Southwestern in 1977 and has been board certified in obstetrics and gynaecology since 1983. He sees patients at the main Texas Tech Physicians building on 4th Street and also at the UMC Southwest Medical clinic on 82nd Street. His provider listing shows him taking new patients while a colleague in the same department is shown as closed, so that is his own status rather than a site default. The clinic publishes no prices and names no hormone treatment for any of its doctors, so what he prescribes is not stated anywhere.
Complete Women's Care Center is an obstetrics and gynaecology group with three Houston-area offices, in Pearland, the Texas Medical Center and Tanglewood. Spence works out of the Pearland office, where she sees gynaecology patients for well-woman exams and problem visits and is trained in ultrasound. She joined the practice in 2010 and taught in the physician assistant programme at Baylor College of Medicine for six years. She also handles women's mental health, including depression and anxiety, and many of those visits can be done by video. Her own profile page does not mention menopause or hormone therapy, and the practice page describing menopause care credits it to the group's doctors rather than to her. Her schedule is not published for online booking, so an appointment with her is arranged by request or by calling the office.
Dr Wagner is one of ten physicians at MY Texas Health Care OB/GYN, a Fort Worth group with five offices, and she works out of the Medical District office on 8th Avenue. Her own page puts midlife care at the centre of her practice and names perimenopause and menopause, complicated menopause, menopause after cancer, and weight management through midlife. She grew up in Fort Worth, was an original member of the medical staff at the Andrews Women's Hospital and was its medical director from 2018 to 2023. The group's menopause page says its physicians prescribe hormone therapy and bioidentical hormone therapy, and the practice treats incontinence, vaginal atrophy and painful sex with laser therapy in the office. The site publishes no prices, says nothing about insurance, and the only way to reach the office is to call it.
Norma Cerna is a family medicine physician at Shannon's clinic on East Harris Avenue in San Angelo, a multi-specialty clinic that also houses the system's OB-GYN and breast services. Shannon lists her Menopause Society certification right alongside her family medicine board certification, and that is the only menopause detail the system publishes about her. Shannon also runs a separate menopause clinic in the same building, but its page names an OB-GYN colleague as the physician who leads it. So nothing on the site describes how Cerna herself handles hormone therapy or what a menopause visit with her involves. New patients reach the system through its provider matching service rather than a booking link on her profile.
