Menopause Specialists Who Accept Insurance in Hawaii
25 practitioners have an office in Hawaii, and 26 more can see patients here by telehealth. 36 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Honolulu, Kailua and Kahului.
Dr. G is a Maui gynecologist who is also board certified in obesity medicine, so hormones and midlife weight are handled in the same visit. First visits run a full thirty minutes, and follow-up is booked before you leave. Many hormone follow-ups happen by video for patients in Hawaii or Illinois, where she practiced for twelve years before moving to Maui. She prescribes bioidentical estradiol and progesterone in patches, gels, pills or vaginal forms, and uses compounded preparations when they fit. For low desire she prefers a compounded testosterone cream from a local Maui pharmacy. She will not use pellets because the dose can't be adjusted once they are in.
Pacific Menopause is a virtual clinic Dr. Ammerman built to do one thing, which is midlife and menopause care by video. New patient visits run a full 60 minutes, and follow ups are usually booked two to three months later and then spaced out to once a year once symptoms settle. She prescribes FDA approved hormone therapy and testosterone, and she spells out that this means bioidentical hormones such as estradiol and progesterone, which have the same molecular structure as the hormones the body makes. Non hormonal prescriptions are there for women who cannot take hormones or would rather avoid them. Weight is her second focus, and she prescribes both oral and injectable weight loss medication alongside work on nutrition, activity and behaviour. She also owns a gynecology clinic in Kahului, so patients on Maui can choose to see her there in person instead.
Dr. Campbell is a gynecologist in Aiea whose practice centers on the menopausal transition. She spent years as an OB/GYN hospitalist in Ohio and delivered more than a thousand babies before moving to Hawaii for an addiction medicine fellowship. She still treats patients with substance use conditions, so menopause care is one of two parts of her practice. Her own articles point patients toward FDA-approved estradiol and micronized progesterone, note that compounded hormones are not FDA-approved, and explain why she does not use DUTCH urine testing to guide treatment. Office visits run several weekdays and Saturday mornings, and Fridays are video visits only. New patients start by requesting a consultation through the form on her site.
Jeanette Nguyen runs a small solo women's health clinic in Lihue. Her site calls her the first and only certified menopause provider on Kauai. Menopause care sits alongside annual exams, contraception, preconception and postpartum care, and she has a particular interest in sexual health. She offers menopause hormone therapy as well as non-hormonal options. Visits are in person at the Rice Street office or by telehealth, and new patients can book online.
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.

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.
Brooke Raidmae is a certified nurse midwife at Maui Lani Gynecology, a four clinician practice in Kahului founded by a board certified OB-GYN. The practice rebranded from Maui Lani Physicians and Surgeons to concentrate on gynecologic care for women, and nothing it publishes names obstetrics among its services. The provider page says Raidmae's approach to gynecologic care is rooted in the midwifery model of care, and that Raidmae practices trauma informed care. That page also names caring for women through major life transitions, including adolescence, family planning, perimenopause and menopause. The practice publishes one gynecologic service list for the whole office rather than saying what each clinician does, so the site does not state which treatments Raidmae provides. New patients register on a form the practice posts on its resources page.
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.
