About Texas Menopause

Dr Rivera Jimenez runs Texas Menopause from the Pink Women Center office in Katy and treats women through natural menopause, surgical menopause and the years before it. He came to this work from a nutrition degree and a functional medicine and anti-aging fellowship, so visits lean heavily on hormone, metabolic and nutritional testing alongside hormone therapy. He also does the gynaecology in the same office, including pelvic ultrasound, hysteroscopy, biopsies and IUDs, and operates in hospital for procedures like hysterectomy and endometrial ablation. He makes a point of telling women when a hysterectomy or other surgery would not help them. The practice runs a four week menopause discussion group over Zoom or in person that anyone can join without becoming a patient. The page meant to explain how appointments and intake questionnaires work has not been published yet.
