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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dr. Walker is one of fourteen clinicians at Omega Ob-Gyn Associates, a women's health group that has served Arlington, Grand Prairie and Mansfield for more than forty years, and sees patients at its Grand Prairie and Arlington offices. Walker is the only clinician in the group whose biography names hormone care, and became a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner in 2025 after watching a spouse go through a hard perimenopause following a hysterectomy at 31. A nurse practitioner and two medical assistants make up a small team inside the larger group, and the site says a patient gets the same care from either clinician. Routine and high risk obstetrics and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery are part of the same job, so hormone care is one piece of a general practice rather than the whole of it. Texas patients can sometimes be seen by video when the schedule allows.
Her office is an Ascension Seton women's health clinic on West 34th Street in Austin that was an independent group called Women Partners in Health before it joined Ascension. The group dates to 1985 and now has more than a dozen clinicians including midwives and nurse practitioners, so obstetrics and delivery are a large part of what it does. The clinic's own services page says a Menopause Society certified practitioner is on the care team, and she is one of two at that office. Her bio puts nutrition next to menopause care in what she focuses on, and she holds a master's degree in nutrition along with a certificate in plant based nutrition. The office does not offer video visits, so appointments happen in person.
Dr. Campbell has been a partner at Northlake Ob/Gyn since 2000 and sees patients at its Plano office. After more than twenty years of delivering babies she gave up obstetrics and now practices gynecology only, with a growing focus on perimenopause and menopause. She has known many of her patients since their childbearing years and says she has grown up alongside them. She still does her own surgery, including robotic and other minimally invasive procedures such as hysterectomy and fibroid removal. This is a conventional insurance-based gynecology office, and the practice describes hormone therapy with pills, patches or creams along with low-dose vaginal estrogen. New patients can request an appointment through an online form or by calling the Plano office.
Tiffany Gebel runs her own gynecology and obstetrics office in Sulphur Springs, in northeast Texas, and it trades under the name Gyno Gebel. She is the only provider the practice names, and its online scheduler books time with her directly. Her website is a single page giving the address, the hours and the booking link, and it never names any treatment she provides. The booking system offers an annual physical, a problem visit, a healthy weight visit and a first prenatal appointment, with no menopause or hormone option among them. The page asks women to come and see the office in person rather than describing care by video.
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.
Emily Hicks is a family nurse practitioner at a small concierge primary care practice in Rollingwood, just outside Austin. She has been a nurse for over 17 years and says perimenopause and menopause are her main focus. The practice keeps its patient list to a few hundred people, so visits run long and members can reach the team directly after hours. Hormone options on offer include estrogen patches, vaginal estrogen, micronized progesterone and topical testosterone, and the practice also does bone health checks and breast cancer risk screening. New patients start with a free consultation, which can be in person or by video. Members keep their regular insurance or Medicare, which still covers visits and tests.
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.
Robert Kauffman is an obstetrician gynaecologist at the Texas Tech Physicians OB-GYN clinic in Amarillo and a full professor in the university's obstetrics and gynaecology department. His university profile lists menopause among his clinical interests and records his menopause practitioner certification. His own bio there adds paediatric gynaecology, polycystic ovary syndrome, infertility and chronic pelvic pain. He has lectured at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists on bioidentical hormones and pellets, as an evidence based and medico-legal review. His faculty page mentions that he is a classical pianist who loves opera before it mentions anything clinical. The clinic page publishes no service list and no prices for any of its doctors, and his own listing there says he is not taking new patients.
Dr. Meinhardt is a board-certified OB-GYN at a long-running Lewisville group practice, and menopause and hormone therapy are named focuses of her own work. She joined the practice in 2024 after finishing active duty in the Air Force, and she grew up in nearby Garland. Her bio says she builds treatment plans around each patient's lifestyle. She also treats urinary incontinence and pelvic pain, which often come up alongside menopause. New patients can book a hormone consult online at either the Lewisville or Flower Mound office. Visits are in person.
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. 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.
Deborah Ledesma is one of two nurse practitioners at a small family practice in Whitehouse, a short drive from Tyler. The clinic opened in 2024 and sees patients from age five through adulthood, with same day or next day visits and some Saturday mornings. Every appointment is booked for a full 30 minutes. Her own provider profile lists testosterone and hormone replacement among the care she gives, and her colleague at the same clinic does not list it. She spent 18 years in nursing before qualifying as a family nurse practitioner, and she describes her work as caring for whole families rather than single patients. The practice also runs a weight loss program with weekly weigh ins and prescription injections, plus walk in IV infusions.
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.
Waco Family Medicine is a federally qualified health center that has run clinics in and around Waco since 1969 and now staffs more than 120 direct caregivers across thirteen sites. Dr Weaver sees patients at the Central clinic on Providence Drive and is also Research Director for the organisation's family medicine residency. Women's health runs through the ordinary family medicine visit rather than a separate menopause clinic, and the service names hormonal and non hormonal treatment options, sleep and mood support, bone health screenings and relief of vaginal and urinary symptoms. Bone density scanning sits on the ground floor of the same building as her clinic. She also runs the dermoscopy service in the volunteer staffed specialty clinic upstairs, where local physicians donate time so patients can reach care they could not otherwise afford. Every new patient starts with a phone call that settles the location, the paperwork and whatever financial help the household qualifies for.
