Elizabeth S. Irby

Elizabeth Irby is a nurse practitioner at Women4Women OBGYN, an all female obstetrics, gynecology and midwifery practice in Huntsville that she joined when it opened in 2017. She is the only clinician on its roster who lists the Menopause Society certification, and her bio names contraception counseling, infertility, PCOS and menopause related issues as her areas of interest. The practice books a dedicated Menopause Consult and asks patients to bring a three page menopause questionnaire that covers menopause status, past hormone therapy and a long symptom checklist. That form asks women who have never used hormone therapy whether they are interested in it, and it states plainly that the office does not prescribe or insert hormone pellets. Patients are asked to pick their top three concerns because more than three may need a second visit. She also serves as the practice's clinical nurse manager, and the vaginal laser treatment the practice advertises for postmenopausal vaginal changes is performed by two of its physicians rather than by her.
