140 practitioners have an office in Virginia, and 134 more can see patients here by telehealth. 180 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Richmond, Virginia Beach and Fairfax.
IntimMedicine Specialists is a small Washington DC practice that Dr. Simon founded and still runs as medical director, with two physician assistants who have worked with him since the 1990s. He treats women across the whole reproductive span, and the midlife side of the practice covers menopause and perimenopause, low testosterone, bone loss, sexual pain and sexual function after cancer. His approach to hormones is to balance estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and the practice says most women can use hormone therapy with few risks. For testosterone he will use gels, injections or pellets, and he says he does not treat on lab values alone. Visits happen in the M Street office or by video, and virtual appointments are offered on Saturday mornings as well as weekdays. New patients submit a form or call and the office rings back to finish booking, and because the practice runs its own clinical trials some patients are offered a place in a study.
Gliss Wellness is a virtual-only OB/GYN practice Dr. Walsh co-founded with a second board-certified OB/GYN, and menopause care is its main focus. Care starts with a 30-minute video consultation about your symptoms, and if hormone therapy suits you, you leave with prescriptions for the first three months. A follow-up at three months keeps refills going for the rest of the year, and refills in between happen by message through the patient portal. There is no membership, and you fill prescriptions at your own pharmacy. The doctors can't examine you in person but can order labs and other tests. Dr. Walsh's own interests include pelvic pain, endometriosis, fibroids and weight loss, and a free 15-minute call lets you meet the team before booking.
Catherine Scaletta sees patients by video through Midi Health, which lists her as a clinical leader. She is a women's health nurse practitioner who spent most of her career in outpatient OB-GYN offices, with a focus on sexual and reproductive health and breast care. She says she has cared for women in perimenopause, menopause and after menopause for fourteen years. A close family member went through triple-negative breast cancer in her early thirties, and helping her through a mastectomy, reconstruction and chemotherapy shaped how she thinks about individual care. She says the part she cares about most is building trust over time and meeting each woman where she is. Her page has no booking link of her own, so the Midi sign-up does not let a new patient choose her by name.
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.
Dr. Canter opened Urogynecology Center NoVa in Reston in 2016, after more than twenty years in practice in Northern Virginia. She is board certified both in urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery and in obstetrics and gynecology, and the practice says she was one of the first surgeons in the country to hold both. The practice is built around bladder, bowel and pelvic floor problems, so she treats urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, fecal incontinence, prolapse and urinary retention. Treatment runs from bladder training and pessary fitting to in office bladder Botox, nerve stimulation and sling or prolapse surgery. The office also runs an Emsella chair, which a patient sits in fully clothed twice a week for three weeks. Her site does not describe hormone therapy or menopause symptom care, and its one hormone mention is low dose vaginal estrogen among the options listed for overactive bladder.
Heather Pickett is a women's health nurse practitioner at a gynecology-only practice with offices in Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania. Before civilian practice she spent years as a Navy nurse, including labor and delivery work and a deployment to a NATO hospital in Afghanistan. The practice is a Biote certified provider, so hormone therapy here leans heavily on pellets placed under the skin in the office every few months. Oral progesterone is added when needed, filled at either a compounding or a regular pharmacy. Visits are billed to insurance and happen in person, and the practice says it is taking new patients.
Dr. Balderston sees patients at Gyn Wellness Center, a gynecology only practice with four offices around Hampton Roads, and her office is the First Colonial one in Virginia Beach. She moved there from Coastal Gynecology, which no longer lists her. Her own page puts the menopausal transition, hormone therapy and sexual health at the center of her work, and she is the only clinician at the practice who holds the Menopause Society certification. She is also the practice's surgeon, and the site says she is one of the first providers in the region to offer vNOTES, a vaginal procedure it says brings less pain and a faster recovery. New patients are usually seen within two days, and a video visit can be booked as a first appointment. The practice made a point of starting to take Medicaid because most gynecologists in the area do not.
Dr. Maher is a general OB-GYN at Carilion's Riverside women's clinic in Roanoke who also holds the Menopause Society certification. She sees women through perimenopause and menopause alongside routine gynaecology, and chronic pelvic pain is one of the conditions she lists. Before coming to Carilion she spent eight years in private practice in Philadelphia. She also teaches medical students at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. Her profile says she is accepting new patients, and a new patient starts by calling the office rather than booking online, because Carilion's online scheduling covers existing patients only. Carilion's site lists the conditions she treats but does not say what she prescribes for menopause.
Carrie Pagliano is a pelvic floor physical therapist, so this is hands-on and movement-based care and she does not prescribe. Her site lists the pelvic floor and bladder changes of perimenopause and menopause, including painful sex, among the things she treats. Visits are in person in Arlington or by video, and she says most plans of care run four to six visits. She uses external ultrasound imaging, fits pessaries, and says an internal exam is never required. Anything outside her scope she refers on to a network of medical providers she has built over 25 years in the DC area. She also teaches clinicians and runs courses and a podcast, but patients can book her directly.
Tidewater Physicians for Women is an obstetrics and gynecology group of eighteen providers with offices in Virginia Beach and Norfolk, and Hallberg is one of its women's health nurse practitioners. The practice's own online scheduler prints a focus area of menopause on Hallberg's listing and on nobody else's. Its menopause page says the team handles hormone replacement therapy, preventive care and changes in sexual function, and it names nurse practitioners alongside the physicians as the people who do that work. Hallberg's own bio points to work with adolescents and to colposcopy, and to a role as president of the Virginia Council of Nurse Practitioners. The group also keeps a licensed clinical social worker on staff who sees patients for problems like depression during menopause, which is unusual in a gynecology office. Robotic surgery is reserved for a few named physicians, and Hallberg's appointments are booked by phone rather than through the online calendar.
Jennifer Lanoff is the only clinician at washGYN, a small Washington practice she runs for menopause, perimenopause and complex gynecology. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone using FDA approved products, and offers non-hormonal options such as fezolinetant, SSRIs, gabapentin and oxybutynin for hot flashes. Visits run long on purpose, and every new patient fills in a medical history questionnaire first so the office can pick the right length of visit. She spent more than two decades as a lawyer, including a stretch as a Deputy Trial Chief at the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, before training in nursing at Johns Hopkins and Georgetown. Many of her patients arrive with overlapping conditions such as endometriosis, POTS, MCAS and Ehlers-Danlos, and the partner surgical practice sends its non-surgical cases to her. She is the only clinician here who can be booked online, and she also sees established patients by video in six states.
Mercedes Deal founded Rêver Wellness, a private-pay clinic in Coral Gables that blends hormone care with skin treatments and weight care. Hormone therapy there is only available through a paid membership, and the tiers that include it also cover follow-up visits and lab work. Care starts with baseline labs and a first visit of about two hours, then labs are repeated every three months while the plan is adjusted. She prescribes bioidentical estradiol, progesterone and testosterone for women in perimenopause and menopause. She is a family nurse practitioner with extra training in functional medicine and peptide therapy, and the clinic also runs a thyroid and adrenal workup. New patients start with an intake questionnaire and a member of the team replies within a day or two.
Jo'Ann Jackson is an obstetrician gynecologist at Reiter, Hill & Johnson of Advantia, a women's health group with offices in Washington and Northern Virginia. She joined the practice in 2006 and is now one of its physician managers, and she sees patients at the Washington and Falls Church offices. Her own provider page names menopause care and hormone replacement therapy, which most of her colleagues' pages do not. Along with her Menopause Society certification she holds the Heather Hirsch Academy hormone therapy certification that Advantia put several of its clinicians through, and she is a practising physician member of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health. The practice menopause page covers hormone therapy, vaginal hormonal medication and non hormonal options such as low dose antidepressants. New patients self schedule online and fill in a health history in the portal before the first visit, and the Washington office runs Saturday morning clinics twice a month.
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.
Dr. Correia is a board-certified OB-GYN who runs a small private clinic that also sees men and offers primary care, weight loss and longevity medicine. Menopause care is one of several services, with its own program built around bioidentical hormones in cream, patch and oral forms. A first visit starts with a hormone panel and a review of symptoms and history. Follow-up labs come about six to eight weeks later, and doses are rechecked every three to six months. The clinic does not take insurance and does not offer online booking, so new patients call to schedule. Visits can be in the Pismo Beach office or by video, and a nurse practitioner also sees patients there on Thursdays.
Dr. Dombo is a board-certified OB-GYN who is going through the menopausal transition herself. She says starting hormone therapy and changing her nutrition and supplements took her from exhaustion and poor sleep back to enjoying life, and that is why she does this work. She trained in the early 2000s, when hormone therapy was widely feared, and now calls it the gold standard for symptom relief. The first visit runs 60 minutes and covers medical and gynecologic history, medications, nutrition and exercise, then a personal treatment plan. The visit also lists a nutritionist assessment, an exercise plan and mindset coaching, and follow-ups run 25 minutes. She writes publicly about why menopause hits Black women harder and how often they face barriers to care.
Amanda Needham is a women's health nurse practitioner at Vanderbilt's Columbia women's health office, and she also sees patients at the Lawrenceburg location. Her care runs through Vanderbilt's gynecology service, which treats menopause and hormone disorders and offers hormone replacement therapy. Her own listed focus is general gynecology, annual exams and menstrual cycle problems, and she carries a share of the office's obstetric work. She trained as a nurse practitioner at Vanderbilt's own school of nursing in 2000 and added a certification in electronic fetal monitoring in 2016. New patients can book her online through the Vanderbilt patient portal. Vanderbilt publishes her patient survey comments in full, praise and complaints alike, so you can read how other women found her before you book.
ANOVUL is a Pittsburgh practice where Kelley DeFilippis sees only women in perimenopause, menopause and the years after. Care starts with a free 15-minute call, then a 90-minute new patient visit, with hour-long follow-ups in the office or by video. She prescribes FDA-approved bioidentical hormones, usually estradiol through the skin with oral micronized progesterone, and her site explains why she does not use pellets. She came to this work through her own perimenopause symptoms after finding her training had barely covered it. Beyond symptom relief she watches heart, bone and metabolic health, and the practice works alongside a pelvic floor therapist.
Kasianchuk is a registered dietitian at Gennev, a virtual menopause clinic, so her work is nutrition and lifestyle counseling rather than prescribing. Gennev's doctors handle medication and hormone therapy, and she works alongside them with shared notes in the patient record. Her own page names weight management, bone health and cardiovascular health as her areas, along with sports nutrition and exercise physiology. A first visit with her runs 50 to 55 minutes and follow-ups run 30 to 40 minutes, usually every two or three weeks for at least three months, with text support in between. She also runs Gennev's lifestyle care program as its senior director of lifestyle care. Gennev's weight management track starts with the dietitian rather than the doctor and you can self-refer into it, while nutrition care in the general menopause track comes as a referral from your first doctor visit.
Dr. Patel is a gynecologic surgeon who has practiced in Fredericksburg since 2005 and runs a small gynecology office with two nurse practitioners. Menopause care happens in person at the Fredericksburg or Spotsylvania office, and the practice bills insurance. The practice is a Biote provider, so hormone pellets placed under the skin every few months are a main option, with oral progesterone added from a regular or compounding pharmacy. It also sells Biote supplements. Dr. Patel is known locally for robotic hysterectomy, so this is a practical choice if you may also need gynecologic surgery. The office is taking new patients, who book by phone and get a registration link before the first visit.
