Menopause Specialists Who Accept Insurance in Virginia
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.
Gennev is a virtual menopause clinic and Brekke is one of the doctors on its prescriber roster. She is a board certified OB-GYN with more than 25 years in practice, and her own page names perimenopause, menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency and weight management medication. Her stated approach is for women who are good at supporting everyone around them and who struggle to put themselves first. She says she does not do meal plans or macros, and works instead through small habits that build on what a patient already does well. Visits are by video and run 30 minutes, and a referral to one of the clinic's dietitians can be made at the first appointment. The clinic prescribes GLP-1 medication on its weight track and says plainly that it will not use compounded versions.
Casey Norton is a nurse practitioner at Midi Health, a virtual clinic that focuses on perimenopause and menopause. She has worked in women's health for about ten years and says she chose the field after seeing how often women's concerns were brushed aside. Visits happen by video, starting with a half-hour first visit and shorter check-ins to adjust the plan. She offers both hormone and non-hormone treatment and follows Midi's research-based protocols, with labs when needed. She talks about the isolation many women feel in midlife and puts real weight on telling them they are not alone. You can book with her directly from her bio, though choosing her may mean fewer open times than booking any Midi clinician.
Tammie Blair sees patients through Midi Health, a virtual women's health clinic that works by video only. She focuses on the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause, and names weight shifts, poor sleep, mood changes and painful sex as the symptoms those changes drive. A first visit runs about 30 minutes and ends with a written care plan, and follow-ups are shorter check-ins you can book as often as you need. Midi's hormone options are FDA-approved patches, pills, gels, creams and sprays, and a plan can also include vaginal estrogen, non-hormone prescriptions and GLP-1 medication. There is no office to visit, so Midi refers out anything that needs an exam such as a mammogram and asks you to keep seeing your own regular doctors. Her own page on the site has a booking link that starts a new patient with her.
Dr. Makkiya runs a small gynecology practice in Vienna where menopause and sexual health are one of four main areas of care. She has a particular interest in helping cancer survivors, including women after breast cancer, manage menopause symptoms and sexual health. She sits on a global committee of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health. She is also a gynecologic surgeon who does vaginal and robotic hysterectomy and treats prolapse and urinary incontinence, so one doctor can cover a lot of midlife care. New patients can book online through the practice portal, and video visits are offered through the same system. She speaks English and Arabic.
Stateline Health is a Martinsville cardiology and vein practice that also runs a small internal medicine side, and Karen Garrett is the provider there who takes care of menopause. She co-founded the practice in 2017 with the cardiologist and has been a PA since 1999, starting her career in women's health. She writes that she is living through menopause herself, and that she wants women to get accurate current information and understand their treatment options. Her internal medicine visits also cover thyroid disease, blood pressure, diabetes and contraception, and the practice runs a cash pay weight loss program using compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. New patient applications for internal medicine are paused right now, although the practice is still taking new cardiology and imaging patients.
Michelle Evans is one of two clinicians at the Endocrine and Diabetes Center, a small endocrinology and diabetes practice in Vienna. Most of her work is diabetes and obesity care, and she holds an advanced diabetes management certification alongside her menopause one. The practice's hormone therapy page takes a strong pro-estrogen position and argues that the breast cancer risk has been overstated. It says breast cancer survivors can take hormone therapy under a doctor's supervision, and it rejects the old advice to use the lowest dose for the shortest time. For low sexual desire after menopause it uses a small daily dose of an FDA-approved testosterone gel made for men, and it states plainly that it does not recommend compounded testosterone. New patients book by phone and bring in a completed registration packet and a menopause health questionnaire they download from the site.
Dr. Hammoud runs her own small gynecology practice in Annandale, and menopause care is one of its named services. She lists hormone replacement among her areas of expertise. For women with severe or complex symptoms she also looks at bone health, heart risk, mood and urinary problems. She is a minimally invasive surgeon and does office hysteroscopy, so gynecologic procedures can be handled in the same practice. The office does no obstetrics, and she speaks Arabic and French as well as English. Visits can be in person or by video.
Capital Women's Care DC is a group OB-GYN practice near Foggy Bottom, and Dr. Bajaj is the managing partner of the Washington office. She spent nearly two decades doing both obstetrics and gynecology, then stopped obstetrics in 2022 to practice gynecology only, with perimenopause and menopause as her focus. She says she wants to close the knowledge gap around hormone replacement therapy, and she writes publicly about women's health on a site of her own. You book online or by phone, and appointments can be in person or by video. Alongside menopause care the office does in-office procedures and minimally invasive gyn surgery, so a woman who needs both can stay in one place. Worth knowing is that the practice says an annual well-woman visit with the doctor of your choice usually takes one to three months to get.
Dr. West runs a solo gynecology office in Madison and has been in practice for more than twenty years. Her site lists menopause management and testing among her services, though it does not say which hormone treatments she prescribes. She also treats endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts and pelvic pain, and she does her own surgery at nearby hospitals, so a patient who needs an operation stays with the same doctor. She did her OB/GYN residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and is fellowship trained in integrative medicine. Telemedicine is used for things like reviewing results and medication follow-ups, while exams and procedures happen in the office. She also hosts a weekly women's health segment on a local radio station.
Shook is a registered dietitian nutritionist at Gennev, a menopause clinic that works entirely by video. This is nutrition and exercise work rather than prescribing, and the clinic's doctors are the ones who handle medication. Gennev's dietitians cover food, movement, sleep and supplements, and they share notes with the gynaecologist seeing the same patient. His stated focus is weight management and body composition, with cardiometabolic health and resistance training to preserve muscle, and he has published research on resistance training and women's health. For general menopause care a doctor refers you to the dietitian, but the weight management track lets you self-refer and start with the dietitian intake. A typical course of care runs every two to three weeks for at least three months, with unlimited messaging between visits.
Virginia Heart is a large Northern Virginia cardiology group and Dr. Riggs works in its sleep center rather than on the cardiology side. She handles insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs, narcolepsy and vasomotor symptoms, and she is board certified in sleep medicine as well as pulmonary and critical care. Her stated special interest is women's sleep health during the menopause transition and around pregnancy. Nothing on the site says she prescribes hormone therapy, so the care she lists is sleep focused. New patients call the main scheduling line and fill in health history and registration forms ahead of the first visit, and the office files insurance claims for you. Before returning to Virginia she worked as a critical care attending in Brooklyn and Manhattan intensive care units at the height of the COVID pandemic.
A nurse-practitioner-owned primary care and wellness practice in Fairfax, founded in 2012, with a second nurse practitioner and a small clinical team. Hormone care is aimed at midlife women from perimenopause through menopause and begins with testing, in-office blood work plus saliva or urine panels, before a plan that may combine nutrition, lifestyle work, herbal remedies, bioidentical topicals or hormone pellets. It sits inside a full primary care and women's health practice covering gynecological exams, contraception, urinary incontinence, thyroid disease and medical weight management, with visits in person or by video.
Kate Dwyer is a registered dietitian with a doctorate in clinical nutrition who runs an online nutrition counseling practice. She works with women on perimenopause and menopause, fertility and pregnancy, and PCOS. She does not prescribe hormone therapy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
