Dr. Takemoto-Gentile is a family physician who runs a direct primary care practice in Honolulu with Dr. Curtis Takemoto-Gentile. Patients pay a monthly membership that covers unlimited office visits, and they can reach her directly by phone, text, email or video. Hormone therapy for women is one of her main interests, including bioidentical hormones, and the practice runs its own hormone program priced separately from the membership. She does well-woman exams and Pap smears too, so routine screening and menopause care can happen in one place. Each doctor keeps fewer than 600 patients, and you can meet one of them for free before deciding to join.
Takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare +15
Dr. Sato runs a small solo gynecology office in the Queen's Physicians Office Building in downtown Honolulu. Her menopause page offers both hormone and non-hormone treatment for symptoms, and her service list covers postmenopausal bleeding, genitourinary changes of menopause, bone density and postmenopausal sexual health. She keeps a general gynecology practice running alongside that, including contraception counseling with IUDs and implants, and evaluation of pelvic pain and endometriosis. She was born and raised in Hawaii and trained at the University of Hawaii medical school and its residency programs. Her own patients nominated her for the Ke Kauka Po'okela outstanding physician award. The office usually has same day appointments for urgent problems and offers Saturday appointments, and new patients start by sending a request form rather than booking online.
