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.
Diana Kumar is a board certified OB-GYN who co-founded Gliss Wellness, a virtual practice built around perimenopause and menopause. All care happens by video and secure messaging, so there is no office to visit. A menopause visit runs about 30 minutes and ends with a plan and prescriptions for an initial three month period, followed by a check-in visit before refills continue for the rest of the year. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits, can order labs and scans, and sends prescriptions to the patient's own pharmacy. She also sees women for weight counseling and for urgent gynecology problems handled through a short written form. Her stated areas of interest are PCOS, sexual dysfunction, bone health and longevity medicine.
Vanessa Weiland runs a small Washington clinic focused on perimenopause, menopause and sexual health. She sees patients in person in Shoreline and North Bend and by video anywhere in the state. Care comes as four-month programs rather than single visits, each starting with an hour-long first visit and including messaging between appointments. She prescribes hormone therapy, including testosterone for low desire after menopause, and also uses non-hormonal treatments. She lives with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome herself and sees women whose EDS, mast cell or POTS symptoms flare around menopause. She is also a trained clinical hypnotherapist and uses it for hot flashes and sleep.

Morghan Milagrosa is a women's health nurse practitioner and nurse midwife at Chinn GYN, a small all-female practice in Mount Vernon run with gynecologic surgeon Dr. Melissa Chinn. She treats menopause as part of whole-body primary and gynecologic care, prescribing hormone therapy in many forms and adjusting the dose over follow-up visits. New patients start with a single exploratory visit to meet her, and ongoing medical care then requires the practice's concierge membership. The practice does not bill insurance, but it gives patients the paperwork to seek reimbursement themselves. Her bio says she also focuses on obesity, disordered eating and substance use, and she has taught in university programs in three states. Video visits are available for some appointments, and established patients can reach a provider after hours.
Dr. Towolawi runs a direct primary care practice in Shoreline, but her primary care panel is full, so new menopause patients see her through a separate telehealth service. Visits are by video for women in the states she covers. Care starts with an hour-long first visit, and shorter follow-ups are booked as needed. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits and pairs it with lifestyle medicine coaching on nutrition and supplements, with secure messaging between visits. She is also board certified in lifestyle medicine. She is perimenopausal herself and speaks openly about women, especially women of color, being dismissed when they raise their symptoms.
Dr. Parker is a naturopathic physician in Bellevue who has focused on hormone therapy for women in perimenopause and menopause for about ten years. Many women come to her for a second or third opinion on a hormone plan that isn't working. She prescribes bioidentical hormones with a strong preference for FDA-approved products, and she won't use pellets but does help women recovering from pellets given elsewhere. Her visits happen by video for patients in Washington, and new patients stop by the clinic so staff can take vitals and body composition, with in-person visits also offered in Friday Harbor. She is not a primary care doctor and wants every patient to keep one. New patients currently join a waitlist, with openings listed for spring 2027.
Dr. Tunson runs a virtual longevity medicine practice and spent about 14 years as an emergency physician before starting it. Women who want to focus only on hormones can buy a hormone package with labs, two hour-long visits and prescription management when it's indicated, or book a single hormone consultation. She also offers a test that estimates ovarian age and when menopause is likely to arrive. Her wider program is a multi-year plan built on extensive labs, genetics and imaging, and it is meant to sit alongside your regular primary care doctor rather than replace it. The practice is cash only and has opted out of Medicare, though Medicare patients are welcome to pay privately.
Jessica Yearwood spent nearly 20 years in community emergency medicine around Tacoma before opening this small menopause and midlife practice in Gig Harbor. She writes openly about going through perimenopause herself and about losing her mother to cancer young, and says both shaped how she runs visits. The practice is consultative, so she will not take over primary care or gynecology and expects patients to keep those clinicians for screenings and chronic conditions. First visits run 75 minutes, she reads your intake forms and existing labs beforehand, and she starts treatment at that visit when it fits. She prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, reaches for FDA approved products first, and will consider compounded hormones when there is a reason to. After that you can do a single consult, book follow-ups as needed, or buy a 12 month package that bundles visits with secure messaging, either in the Gig Harbor office or by video anywhere in Washington.
Suzette Widdison Iverson is a physician assistant who runs her own practice for women in midlife, with menopause care and medical weight loss as its two main services. First visits run up to an hour, and she orders labs first when they would help. She prefers FDA-approved bioidentical hormones, uses compounded formulas only in select cases, and does not use pellets. Visits are by telehealth in Washington and Utah, with in-person visits at her office in downtown Gig Harbor.
Dr. McManus is a naturopathic physician at Health Moves, a clinic of several naturopathic doctors in Woodinville. Her stated focus is women's health, perimenopause and menopause, and hormone management. She also works with Hashimoto's and other autoimmune thyroid problems, which often show up alongside midlife symptoms. New patients can book an hour-long first visit online, either at the office or by video. The clinic bills insurance for visits and adds a small administrative fee that covers messaging with the care team between appointments. The clinic website calls her Tina, while the booking calendar lists her as Christine.
Susan Baumgaertel spent 25 years in private internal medicine practice in Seattle, stepped away from direct patient care in 2021, and launched myMDadvocate in 2022. She now works as a physician consultant, navigator, coach and advocate rather than as a treating doctor. She will talk through menopausal treatment options and the question of whether to take hormones, go over test results, and help patients deal with their own medical teams, but she does not prescribe or refill medication and says plainly that you still need your own primary care physician. All visits are virtual and sold in 25 minute blocks, and a new patient starts with a free phone call before any paperwork. She also writes MenopauseMenu, a free menopause site of her own, published a book of the same name, and hosts a monthly talk show.
Lumina is a West Seattle clinic that mixes vascular care, lasers and skin work with a menopause program. Stacy sees menopause patients virtually and starts everyone with a short free phone call before the paid intake, which covers two or three visits, a full history and symptom review, and referrals for labs and diagnostic testing. That intake ends with a hormone therapy plan, and later follow ups by video or phone are included at no extra charge. She has been a labor and delivery nurse at a Washington hospital since 2005 and says her own perimenopause is what pushed her into midlife care. She is a registered nurse rather than a prescriber, and the clinic owner, a nurse practitioner, is the other certified menopause provider on the team. The menopause page spends most of its space arguing that the early reading of the Women's Health Initiative was wrong and that hormone therapy works best started early.
Kate Behning runs a solo gynecology practice in downtown Seattle that she opened after leaving a healthcare corporation over its limits on abortion care. She has held Menopause Society certification since 2013 and follows its guidance closely, so she prescribes standard hormone therapy but not compounded hormones or pellets. Visits happen in her office or virtually by video, phone or portal message. She is not a primary care provider and asks patients to keep one for non-gynecologic care and routine screening labs. A longer menopause consultation can be added to an annual exam but is billed as a separate visit. She describes her style as plain explanations with no upselling of trendy hormone treatments.
A solo women's health nurse practitioner practice in Vancouver seeing patients across Washington and Oregon, with particular depth in perimenopause and menopause, sexual medicine and vulvar dermatology. Care runs on a monthly membership with a three-month minimum. The first visit lasts 90 minutes and can be in person or virtual, later visits run an hour, and you can message her in between. The practice is notably consent-forward about examinations, asking for verbal consent at each step and offering a chaperone, a partial exam or none at all, and does in-office microscopy and vulvar biopsy.
Dr. Hanan founded Prevail Wellness Center and is both a naturopathic physician and an acupuncturist, so some patients get acupuncture as part of their care. The clinic centers on perimenopause and menopause, and it also treats thyroid problems and midlife weight change. The first visit is a long conversation about symptoms and history, with labs ordered only when they will help, and you leave with a clear plan. She prefers FDA approved hormones and uses a compounding pharmacy when a patient needs a dose or form those products don't offer. Before opening the clinic she worked as a primary care doctor in integrative clinics. New patients can book online, and visits can be done by video for anyone living in Washington or Oregon.
Nefertari McClarity is a family nurse practitioner who runs a small virtual clinic for women in perimenopause and menopause. All visits are by video. Care starts with a long first visit and labs, then a second visit to go over results and set a plan. She prescribes hormone therapy including testosterone, offers non-hormonal options and GLP-1 medication for weight, and puts a lot of weight on gut health, with stool and SIBO testing available.
Allie Theiss is a menopause coach, not a licensed clinician, and she does not prescribe. The main service is a private three or six month coaching program on her own six-part framework, covering nutrition, supplements, flower essences, sleep and stress, intimacy and energy. Smaller options are a one-off audit with a recorded video review, and single paid sessions by Zoom, phone or in person in Akron. She writes that hormone therapy was not an option in her own menopause, and the program's answer to hormonal symptoms is supplements, flower essences and lifestyle change rather than medical treatment. When checked, the online calendars for the paid sessions showed no open times and were not taking payment, so the audit and the coaching program were the open ways to start.
Melinda is a nutrition counsellor and cannot prescribe, so this is food and lifestyle support for the menopause transition and not hormone treatment. She mainly works with autistic, ADHD and AuDHD adults, and her approach is weight-inclusive and non-diet. Care begins with an introductory call and an assessment that covers health history, a menopause symptom questionnaire and a look at the supplements you already take. She takes no supplement affiliate or referral money. Sessions are weekly or every other week in downtown Bend or on Zoom, with messaging in between, and she expects to work together for at least five months. She came to this work through her own perimenopause and a late AuDHD diagnosis, and she also works with eating disorders at the outpatient level.
Dr. Carol runs a small concierge practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, and she is going through midlife herself. She spent about 20 years as an emergency physician before turning to menopause care. Care starts with a free 30-minute video call, then a package of two long visits, each 60 to 90 minutes, with messaging between and after them. Visits can be at her Manhattan office, by video, or at your home or workplace. The visits look at symptom treatment along with bone, heart and breast cancer risk. She does not replace your own doctors, so you still need a primary care doctor and a gynecologist for exams and mammograms.
ThriveWellMD is a telehealth practice run by Dr. Nicole Perrotte, an internal medicine physician with added training in lifestyle and obesity medicine who is also a certified health coach. Care starts with a two-part video assessment, with a 60-minute intake, a full lab panel and then a second 60-minute visit to go over the results and a written plan. Patients then move into monthly phases for hormones, metabolism and weight, or sexual health, with app messaging between visits. The hormone phase includes bioidentical hormone therapy made by outside compounding pharmacies. She built the practice after her own burnout, fatigue and weight gain, and it does not replace a primary care doctor.
A virtual women's specialty care platform for complex hormonal, metabolic and gynecological conditions, where menopause and perimenopause sit alongside PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid disease, fibroids and primary ovarian insufficiency. Each patient is assigned one medical provider, either an obstetrician-gynecologist, an endocrinologist or a women's health nurse practitioner, plus a registered dietitian, and stays with both. Care starts with a 30-minute medical visit and a 45-minute nutrition visit, broad hormonal and metabolic labs, then check-ins every week or two. Prescribing is optional and patient-directed, covering transdermal and oral estradiol, micronized progesterone, a non-hormonal drug for hot flashes, weight medication and thyroid replacement, and a separate arm ships custom-compounded medication to patients.
Midlife Wellness is a small virtual practice that only treats women in perimenopause and menopause, plus those with premature ovarian insufficiency. Stacy is one of its two nurse practitioners and spent more than ten years in intensive care before moving into internal medicine and then reproductive health. Care starts with an hour-long new patient visit, and shorter follow-ups are used to adjust treatment over time. The practice prescribes FDA-approved hormones only, testosterone gel among them, and follows Menopause Society guidelines. It also treats midlife hair loss and offers non-hormonal prescriptions for women who can't or don't want to take hormones. The founders started it after feeling rushed and brushed off at their own doctors' offices.
Dr. Freeman runs her own concierge family medicine clinic in downtown Austin and puts hormone care for menopausal and peri-menopausal women at the front of it. She is a member of The Menopause Society and books 45 to 60 minute hormone consultations so there is time to go through a patient's questions. Hormone care is guided by symptoms as much as by blood or saliva levels, and the clinic also treats low testosterone in women with injections, gels or creams, and subdermal pellets. It is a membership clinic rather than one that bills insurance, and members get a yearly physical, a monthly B12 injection and lab draws in the office. Dr. Freeman is an osteopathic physician who does hands on manipulation, still makes house calls, and recommends a full body treatment four times a year. She grew up surfing the Texas coast and bikes to and from the clinic.
Dr. Fandel runs a small naturopathic office in Pacifica focused on women in perimenopause and menopause. Care starts with a long new patient visit and blood work, and follow ups can be in the office or over Zoom. She prescribes bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone and sees patients often early on to adjust the dose. Her plans usually pair hormones with herbs, supplements and diet changes, and she also treats thyroid problems and prescribes weight loss medication. A large part of the practice is aesthetics, including PRP, microneedling and hair restoration. You can book a free 15 minute phone call before committing to a visit.
Kristen Loose is the menopause specialist at Dr. Gina Mantor's medical spa and weight clinic in Westerville, where the rest of the practice focuses on aesthetics and weight loss. She treats perimenopause and menopause with standard hormone therapy, and offers non-hormonal prescriptions and lifestyle advice to women who can't or would rather not take hormones. The first consultation is free and happens by video. After that she sees patients in the office on Wednesdays and Saturdays or by appointment. She follows Menopause Society guidance closely and writes on the clinic's site that soy and black cohosh don't hold up for hot flashes.
