Jamie Davis is a nurse practitioner at One Medical's Newton office, a primary care practice that sees children and adults of all ages. She says her particular interests are women's health and LGBTQ+ health, including hormone management and guidance around gender-affirming procedures. One Medical runs on a yearly membership, but the Newton office also lets anyone book online without joining, and scheduled visits are billed to you or your insurance either way. The office keeps weekday drop-in lab hours for labs its own providers order. It sits in a shopping plaza on the corner of Needham and Christina Streets, with free parking in the lot. Her page has no booking link of her own, so the One Medical sign-up does not let a new patient choose her by name.
Olive Tree Medical is a small concierge practice in Wellesley run by two women physicians who keep the panel to a few hundred patients. Dr. Walkey is a primary care internist who is also board certified in lifestyle medicine, and she became a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner in 2024 to focus on women's health in midlife. Membership covers a long annual exam and a schedule of follow-up visits, with a lot of care happening by phone, text, email and video in between. Health coaching, nutrition consults, fitness testing and stress management are folded into membership rather than billed on their own. Walkey was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020 and says it pushed her toward the prevention and lifestyle work she now does with patients. New members start with a free in-person meet and greet, and places are limited, so the practice adds people to a waiting list once it fills.
Dr. Kolbas is a general OB-GYN at New England OB-GYN in Chestnut Hill, a large group practice affiliated with Brigham and Women's Hospital. She is one of the practice's certified menopause providers, and the practice evaluates and manages menopause as part of its gynecology care. Most gynecology visits happen in the office, and a provider can choose to do some visits by video. She speaks Spanish as well as English and has taught at Harvard Medical School since 2002. New patients have to register with the Mass General Brigham system before they request an appointment.
Dr. Robinson works at a Beth Israel Lahey Health primary care office in Waltham that takes patients of all ages. She leads the practice's menopause group visits, a monthly evening session you can attend in Waltham or join online instead. The sessions go through what the evidence says about menopause and cover both hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options, plus nutrition and exercise. You sign up for one by contacting the practice nurse rather than booking online. Because this is a general primary care office, she also looks after the rest of a patient's health, including long-term conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
Dr. Roca is an OB/GYN at Atrius Health, a large multispecialty group, and sees patients at its Davis Square office in Somerville and in Medford. He lists perimenopause and menopause care among his clinical interests, along with pregnancy care, fibroids and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Atrius OB/GYNs manage menopause symptoms and talk through menopausal hormone therapy. Harder cases can be referred to the group's Menopause Consultation Service, which is mostly virtual. Atrius says some specialty care may be limited to patients who have an Atrius primary care provider, so setting one up first can help. He speaks English, Spanish and French.
Elektra Health is a virtual menopause practice where every visit happens by video, and each patient is paired with a Menopause Society certified clinician plus a coach for nutrition, exercise and emotional support. Elektra clinicians prescribe FDA-approved hormone therapy and non-hormonal options, and the company says plainly that it does not prescribe compounded or non-FDA-approved medications and does not make money from selling supplements or products. It is also not doing medical weight loss at the moment. Visits are billed to insurance where Elektra is in network, and there is a published cash rate for people who are not. DeLasho has belonged to The Menopause Society since 1994, and she says she moved into telehealth because a routine annual gynecology visit never left enough time to talk about menopause. She is named on Elektra's clinician pages, but the sign-up flow pairs each patient with a clinician rather than letting a new patient choose her.
Dr. Page Crane is one of eight physicians at About Women By Women, a women-owned, all-female OB/GYN practice that has served the MetroWest area of Massachusetts for more than thirty years. She trained at Yale College and Harvard Medical School, finished her OB/GYN residency at Duke in 2020, joined the practice in 2023, and sees patients at both the Wellesley and Walpole offices. Her own stated clinical interests are minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and the evaluation and management of abnormal uterine bleeding, and she says she especially enjoys caring for patients through pregnancy. She is the only clinician on the team listed as a Menopause Society Certified Provider. The practice offers FDA-approved hormone therapy in oral, transdermal and vaginal forms plus transdermal testosterone for low libido, and it states plainly that it does not use compounded bioidentical hormones. Visits are unrushed, same-week slots are held for urgent problems, labs and ultrasound are done on site, and the team describes its care as concierge-level attention without membership fees.
Dr. Edelman has run her own private gynecology practice in Middleboro since 1987 and sees women from age 18 into their eighties. She practiced solo for most of that time, and in September 2024 a second board certified gynecologist who is also menopause certified joined her. Menopause care here means consultation and treatment, with plant-based hormone prescriptions or non-hormonal medication for hot flashes and night sweats. The office also runs two energy based devices in house, ThermiVa radiofrequency for vaginal dryness, painful sex and leaking, and an Emsella chair for bladder control. Her book Menopause Matters was published by Johns Hopkins University Press, and the North American Menopause Society named her its Menopause Practitioner of the Year in 2010. In the office she draws pictures and uses anatomical models so patients can see what she is describing.
Dr. Matta runs a small office based gynecology practice on Beacon Street in Brookline, and her site says she partners with Dr. Nicole Boudreau. Her own description of her work is brief and promises compassionate and comprehensive office based gynecological care, with time taken to understand what each patient needs. The booking profile her site links is the only place that names services, and it lists birth control, consultations for menopause, evaluations for osteoporosis, and annual gynecologic examinations, along with care for urinary tract infection and sexual dysfunction. She does not publish what she prescribes for menopause. She is a board certified obstetrician gynecologist who trained at Loyola, completed a fellowship at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, and teaches physician assistants as an instructor at Boston University. The office keeps short hours, afternoons on Mondays and Tuesdays and mornings on Thursdays and Fridays, with metered street parking around the building, and she speaks Spanish and Cantonese as well as English.
Carolyn Bernstein is a headache neurologist at the Osher Center for Integrative Health in Chestnut Hill, which is the Brigham's integrative medicine clinic. The Mass General Brigham profile describes a practice built on migraine and headache disorders, backed by a subspecialty certification in headache medicine. The profile lists membership of the North American Menopause Society and names hormonal headache among stated interests, but no page Mass General Brigham publishes describes menopause care or hormone therapy as care delivered here. The clinic's own service list runs to acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage, mindfulness training, health coaching and neurological conditions with headache called out, and names no menopause or hormone care at all. The Brigham's menopause programme sits in a different suite of the same building and is staffed from gynecology and endocrinology. Bernstein wrote The Migraine Brain and teaches neurology residents and Harvard medical students.
