Menopause Society Certified Practitioners in Washington
186 practitioners have an office in Washington, and 115 more can see patients here by telehealth. 195 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Seattle, Vancouver and Olympia.
Island Women's Health is a solo practice on Bainbridge Island built around perimenopause and menopause care. Martini is a certified nurse midwife and nurse practitioner who spent 14 years in obstetrics and gynecology before opening it, including midwifery work in Guatemala and care for Navajo and Zuni patients through the Indian Health Service in New Mexico. A new patient visit runs an hour and follow ups run thirty minutes, and either can happen in the office or remotely. Care is offered in English and Spanish, and a limited number of reduced-rate visits are set aside each month for patients who cannot manage the standard fee, with no explanation required. The practice currently books on Wednesdays and Sundays and plans to add in-person gynecology services such as smear tests and pelvic pain evaluation in 2027.
Dr. Steinberg spent more than two decades as a Seattle area gynecologist before leaving her previous practice in 2024 to open her own, centered on hormones, perimenopause and menopause. She does not work with insurance, which she says lets her give each patient more of her time. New patients start with an hour-long visit, by video or in person at an office in Bothell, and shorter follow-ups come after labs or starting treatment. Patients who would rather not pay per visit can choose one yearly fee that covers all visits. She also looks after bone health, heart disease prevention and bladder problems, but no longer does surgery and refers out for it.
A physician-led longevity and performance practice based in Seattle, where the practitioner is medical director. Care begins with an in-person day in the Seattle area for baseline diagnostics, covering over a hundred biomarkers, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, continuous glucose monitoring, genomics and multi-cancer screening. It then moves to quarterly labs and structured medical reviews, with follow-ups virtual or in person. A women's track is described for perimenopause, menopause and after, with hormone and metabolic diagnostics and ongoing telehealth support, and physicians provide prescriptions and referrals as clinically appropriate.
Septima is a solo practice in Seattle for perimenopause, menopause and the years after, and Heather Vincent is the only clinician, so every visit is with her. She prescribes menopause hormone therapy and non-hormonal medication, and she does office gynecology such as IUDs, endometrial biopsies and pap smears. First visits run 90 minutes, with a 60 minute option for a tighter schedule or budget, and she prefers the intake in person in case a pelvic exam is needed. Follow-ups work in person or by video from anywhere in Washington, and each visit comes with 20 messages to her and a month of access to her strength training and education library. She spent six years in OB/GYN before opening Septima and works in collaboration with Jodie Wohl MD, a family practice and women's health physician. Bone health is a stated emphasis, which is why strength training instruction comes with every visit, and she holds community gatherings with an outside speaker four times a year.
Heat Wave Health is a one clinician telehealth practice for perimenopause, menopause and midlife health, seeing patients in Washington, Illinois and Oregon. Desirae Bloomquist founded it and is the only clinician, so she runs the appointments, reads the labs and answers the secure messages herself. Care runs on a monthly membership with a six month commitment at the start, and there is a lower cost membership later on once treatment has settled. Alongside symptom relief the practice works on bone, heart, cognitive, metabolic and sexual health, and it treats thyroid problems and midlife weight gain, including GLP-1 medication when it fits. There is a separate strand of survivorship care for women after cancer, with hormone decisions made alongside their oncology team. The site is direct about hormone therapy being optional, and says plainly that a woman can get care here without committing to it.
Dr. Yehl founded Coastal Women's Medical after 24 years in hospital medicine, having worked first as a nurse and then as a certified nurse midwife before medical school. The practice is built around long visits, with 90 minutes for a new patient and a care plan written once labs come back. Ongoing hormone care runs on a monthly membership with quarterly visits, and patients who become clinically stable can step down to a cheaper program with fewer visits. Weight change in midlife is treated as a hormonal problem, so GLP-1 medication is managed alongside hormone therapy rather than in a separate track. Primary care is reserved for concierge members, and everyone else is seen for hormone, menopause or weight care. The office also runs medical grade red light therapy and a paid audio course for women who want to arrive at an appointment prepared.
Dr. Oberg is a naturopathic doctor who runs a concierge practice from an ocean-view office in La Jolla. She has practiced since 2003 and was the founding medical director of Bastyr University's California campus. Hormone care starts with a symptom and history review and a hormone test, then moves to bioidentical hormones when they fit. She says hormones are not required and may begin with botanical or non-hormone support first. Care runs through fixed-length programs or a year-long membership, with a health coach on the team and a covering doctor when she is away. She also sees patients by video and keeps small offices in Arizona and Washington.
Concierge Medicine of Westlake is Dr. Fiffick's own practice. She keeps the patient panel small and runs it on annual memberships rather than billing insurance. The women's health membership covers non-obstetric care through midlife, with perimenopause and menopause symptom management alongside bone health, cardiovascular risk and urogenital health, and it includes hormone prescription management when she judges it appropriate. Members get 30 or 60 minute visits, same or next day openings, and her direct phone, text and email, and virtual visits are offered as a supplement with prior approval when an exam is not needed. She came to women's health through family medicine after being told early on that the only route was OB-GYN, then spent two years in the Cleveland Clinic's Specialized Women's Health fellowship. As an osteopathic physician she also does hands-on manipulative treatment, which patients can buy as its own membership or one visit at a time.
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.

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.
Gennev is an all-virtual menopause clinic owned by Unified Women's Healthcare, and care starts with a 30 minute video visit with a menopause-trained doctor. Dunsmoor-Su is Gennev's chief medical officer and she also carries her own patient list. The areas she names herself include premature ovarian insufficiency, breast cancer risk and survivorship, endometriosis, and weight management with medication. Her background is clinical epidemiology, and she still runs women's health drug trials as a medical director at a Seattle research centre and teaches OB-GYN residents. She says she treats each visit as a chance to explain the current evidence so the decision about treatment is a shared one. Doctors here prescribe FDA-approved hormone therapy when a patient is a candidate and non-hormonal medicines when she is not, and the clinic tells patients to steer clear of compounded weight drugs made outside FDA oversight.
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.
Vitality is a locally owned clinic in Wenatchee that started out focused on hormones and menopause and has since grown into men's health, weight care and fitness testing. Rachel is the practice's certified menopause provider and uses both hormone and non-hormone treatment for perimenopause and menopause. She came to it from emergency medicine and years of wilderness medicine and outdoor teaching with NOLS, and is a lifelong athlete. Care starts with a long first consultation that includes blood work. Ongoing care is either a membership that covers visits, twice-yearly labs and medications, or pay-per-visit. Visits can be in the office or by video.
Dr. Ellingson is a family physician at Three Rivers Family Medicine, the rural health clinic attached to Three Rivers Hospital in Brewster. She has worked in North Central Washington since 2002, and for years that meant emergency shifts, deliveries, cesarean sections and hospital inpatients alongside clinic visits. She sees newborns through adults, and the hospital says she has found a niche in treating women through perimenopause and after menopause. On her clinician page at a Seattle menopause practice she describes ten years of working with women in perimenopause and postmenopause using bioidentical hormone therapy. She speaks Spanish fluently and has cared for a large Spanish speaking population her whole career. She is also the hospital's medical staff president and medical director of a children's foundation in Lesotho.
Cascade Functional Medicine is the Vancouver practice her father started in 1988, and she joined it in 2008 as his youngest daughter. She leads the functional medicine side, where hormone problems get worked up alongside gut health, micronutrient status and metabolism rather than on their own. Hormone testing here leans on dried urine panels instead of blood, because she wants to see cortisol across the whole day and how estrogen is broken down. When hormones are indicated she has them made by sterile compounding pharmacies, and she runs a supervised weight loss program that tracks body composition so patients on GLP-1 medication keep their muscle. The same office also does aesthetics, FAA flight physicals and immigration exams, so it is a small general practice rather than a menopause-only clinic. Refills need an office visit, the office will not take refill requests from a pharmacy, and a card is kept on file for late cancellations.
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.
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. 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.
The Marigold Survivorship Medical Clinic is a telemedicine practice for women affected by breast cancer, and Caroline Cook founded it and runs it on her own. She was diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer at 37, went through chemotherapy and abrupt premature menopause, and says she built the clinic because she could not find the care she wanted anywhere else. Care covers menopause management including hormone therapy, sexual health, recurrence risk reduction and the long term health effects of breast cancer treatment. She still works as a board certified emergency physician, holds board certification in lifestyle medicine, and tells patients that medication is not a failure alongside lifestyle change. Everyone starts with a free fifteen minute call to see whether the fit is right, and the intake visit that follows runs up to ninety minutes after she has spent about a week reviewing oncology records. She cannot prescribe testosterone to patients in California or Washington because of DEA rules, and she will see women without breast cancer on a case by case basis.
Dr. Williams is managing partner of The Oregon Clinic's all women obstetrics and gynecology office on the Legacy Emanuel hospital campus in north Portland. She joined The Oregon Clinic in 2014 when her own group Everywoman's Health merged into it. Her listed areas of focus include menopause and hormone replacement therapy including bioidentical, alongside full spectrum obstetrics, vulvar and vaginal dermatology, infertility and minimally invasive surgery. She is board certified in integrative medicine as well as obstetrics and gynecology, and she has training in functional medicine, acupuncture and homeopathy. The office keeps Saturday hours and takes new patients without a referral, and established patients can book some visits themselves in the clinic portal. She is a certified Pilates and GYROTONIC instructor and speaks fluent Spanish.
Tara Roeder is a nurse practitioner in primary care at Vancouver Clinic's Columbia Tech Center location, and she sees adults through the Internal Medicine department. Her clinic profile says she has specialized training in sexual health and menopausal management, and she is certified by the Menopause Society. The profile does not say which treatments she uses, and Vancouver Clinic publishes no treatment detail for any individual clinician. She also offers medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders, and she says she is interested in preventing and managing cardiovascular disease. Before nursing she worked as a marine and geoscientist studying how the Himalayas formed. Her page says she is not accepting new patients right now, and it also shows that virtual appointments are available.
Winston is a board certified obstetrician gynaecologist at Boston Medical Center. She sees patients at two sites, the main Boston campus on Harrison Avenue and BMC Brighton. Her hospital listing places her in obstetrics and gynaecology along with labour, delivery and postpartum care, so her published work includes deliveries and not only office gynaecology. Boston Medical Center publishes nothing about menopause, perimenopause or hormone therapy for her, and her profile carries no specialties list at all, while a colleague at the same Harrison Avenue office does list menopause. Her menopause certification from The Menopause Society is current, but her employer's site gives no sign that she offers menopause care. She trained in obstetrics and gynaecology at Marshall University in West Virginia after earning her osteopathic degree in Tennessee.
