Post Acute Navigator is a locally owned Wichita Falls practice that runs a clinic, sends providers to patients at home and visits nursing and assisted living facilities. Its wellness program covers primary and preventative care, hormone assessment and management, lab ordering and interpretation, and women's health exams. Members get round the clock access to a provider and a full physical. The practice also runs a wound care line under the name Wound Navigator, treating diabetic, pressure and venous ulcers. Telehealth visits are offered as well. The site names no clinicians other than its chief medical officer, so nothing is published about how she personally handles hormone care.
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.
Mary Loya is a women's health nurse practitioner at Diana Health's Allen clinic, part of a women's health group with offices in Texas, Tennessee and Florida. Her own provider page names menopause as a specialty, along with obstetric care, wellness exams and birth control. Menopause care starts with a virtual consult covering genitourinary, vasomotor, mood, memory and sleep symptoms, and the plan that follows can use hormonal or non-hormonal treatment. The clinic bills insurance and lists the plans it takes on its own Allen page. Before joining, she spent fifteen years at Riverside University Health Systems and seven years at Health Services of North Texas in Denton. Patients message the practice and pay bills through its own phone app, which only works on a mobile device.
Aurora Gonzalez founded this six physician OB-GYN group and has been in private group practice in Houston since 2000. The group runs two offices, one in the Texas Medical Center and one in Pearland, and menopause care sits inside general gynecology here rather than in a hormone program of its own. The practice says it was the first in the southern United States to offer the MonaLisa Touch, an in office CO2 laser for vaginal dryness and pain after menopause, done as three short treatments six weeks apart. A lot gets handled in the office rather than an operating room, including an eight minute endometrial ablation for heavy bleeding. Dr. Gonzalez names female incontinence and vaginal prolapse as her own interests, and she is fluent in Spanish, as are the practice's intake and consent forms. The site's own menopause FAQ is cautious about hormone therapy and suggests six months to two years of it rather than long term use.
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.
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.
Laura Rosenfield is one of six OB-GYNs at Gynecological & Obstetrical Associates, a practice that has been in Dallas for more than fifty years and sits in the Margot Perot building at Texas Health Dallas. She sees women across the whole span of care, from adolescent gynecology and fertility through perimenopause and menopause, and deliveries go to Texas Health Dallas. A new patient can book either an in-person visit or a video visit with her by name, and the office verifies benefits before the appointment. The practice does minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, including laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Nothing the practice publishes names hormone therapy or any other menopause treatment. She grew up in Dallas, runs marathons and has a labradoodle called Coco.
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.
Dr. Nguyen is a family medicine physician at Texas Health Family Care in Prosper, and he sees patients of all ages rather than running a menopause practice. His Texas Health bio names three things he is especially passionate about, and one of them is patients feeling healthier on hormonal therapy. The other two are weight loss and the treatment of depression and anxiety. He has cared for patients in Texas since finishing his family medicine residency in Corpus Christi in 2022. Away from work his bio mentions snowboarding, podcasting and spoiling his cats. His profile offers video visits as well as visits at the Prosper office, and it marks him as accepting new patients on every health plan it lists.
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.
