MyMenopauseRx is a virtual menopause practice founded by a gynecologist, and Krantz is one of about a dozen clinicians a patient can pick from. Visits are video appointments of about thirty minutes, and most patients come back every eight to twelve weeks until their symptoms settle. She prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone rather than compounded hormones, and the practice is clear that it works alongside a patient's own primary care doctor rather than replacing it. Testosterone is written only for patients located in Illinois, and everyone else gets the prescription from their own doctor while the practice manages the dosing. Krantz has practiced for more than thirty years in university, HMO, community health and telehealth settings, and she completed the integrative medicine fellowship at the University of Arizona with training in medical acupuncture. She works from Oregon and says she has aged alongside her patients, which is how menopause care became her emphasis.

Toun Sogbein is a women's health nurse practitioner with Visana Health, a women's health practice that works entirely by video out of Minneapolis. She handles menopause and perimenopause along with the gynecological and sexual health problems that often sit alongside them, and she came to this work from public health clinics and a community health degree. First visits run 45 minutes, and patients stay with the same provider and can message the care team through the patient portal between visits. Visana's menopause care follows protocols written by Dr. Barbara Levy, and a patient can go the hormone route or a non-hormonal one after talking it through. Labs and imaging get ordered near home when they are needed, and optional health coaching covers food and exercise for anyone who wants that support. Many patients reach Visana through an employer or health plan, and the site has a start page where you look up yours.
Rose MD Aesthetics is a physician-run med spa in Troy where hormone care sits alongside lasers, injectables and medical weight loss. Dr. Mahmood is the medical director and a certified Biote provider, and he treats menopause in women and andropause in men. Care starts with a consultation and full bloodwork rather than a prescription, and the doctors read hormone levels next to thyroid and metabolic markers before anything is prescribed. Hormones are compounded to each prescription and given as pellets placed under the skin near the hip, or as creams, patches and capsules, with follow-up labs to fine tune the dose. The practice runs a women's wellness and intimate health program that includes a laser treatment for stress urinary incontinence, always performed by one of the physicians. He says his own struggle with weight after residency is what turned him toward this kind of medicine.
Women's Health Consultants is a Novi OB-GYN office and one of a dozen practices in the UWH of Michigan group. Eight doctors work out of the Novi location, and Dr. Kaplan is one of them. Menopause care sits alongside pregnancy, surgery and routine gynecology rather than running as its own program, so the same office covers everything from teen visits through postmenopause. The group's menopause page goes through hormone therapy and non-hormonal prescription options and says the right choice depends on your history and risk factors, and it treats bone and heart health as part of midlife care. Mammography and bone density testing are done in the office rather than sent out. Kaplan taught residents at Providence Hospital and was named teacher of the year twice, and she names alternatives to hysterectomy as one of her main interests.
Compassionate Gynecology of Michigan is a two-person office in Fenton and the whole medical staff is Dr Kling and one other person named Nicole. It sits inside a building whose door says Fenton Family Medicine, but the practice says it is not affiliated with any hospital or other medical practice. An initial perimenopause or menopause visit is booked for a full hour and the office does not double-book, so most of that time goes to explaining what the hormonal changes of midlife do and what the treatment options are. That is also why the wait is long, and the site says it is booking more than four months out and asks anyone with heavy bleeding or significant pain to see a provider who can get them in sooner. Dr Kling does not do surgery, obstetric care or IUD insertion, and she will not prescribe for someone she has never seen in the office. A lot of the site is given over to what the visit itself feels like, down to turning the scale around if a patient does not want to see her weight and stopping an exam the moment she asks.
Dr. Van De Velde is a gynecologist with MyMichigan Gynecology in Midland, part of the MyMichigan Medical Center system. She lists menopause and perimenopause management as one of her clinical interests alongside abnormal bleeding, contraception and fertility evaluation. She is also a minimally invasive and robotic surgeon, so she can handle surgical problems like fibroids or hysterectomy in the same practice if they come up. Visits are in person at the Campus Ridge office, and she is licensed to see Florida patients by telehealth. Her profile says she is welcoming new patients, and current patients can message or book through MyChart.
Shook is a registered dietitian nutritionist at Gennev, a menopause clinic that works entirely by video. This is nutrition and exercise work rather than prescribing, and the clinic's doctors are the ones who handle medication. Gennev's dietitians cover food, movement, sleep and supplements, and they share notes with the gynaecologist seeing the same patient. His stated focus is weight management and body composition, with cardiometabolic health and resistance training to preserve muscle, and he has published research on resistance training and women's health. For general menopause care a doctor refers you to the dietitian, but the weight management track lets you self-refer and start with the dietitian intake. A typical course of care runs every two to three weeks for at least three months, with unlimited messaging between visits.
Dr. Robinson is an OB/GYN who began practising integrative and functional medicine in 2016 and later gave that work its own practice. She says plainly that Dearborn OB/Gyn is a separate business from this practice, and that its staff and billers cannot answer questions about it. Visits are long by design, and patients pick a thirty, sixty or ninety minute appointment when they book. Her hormone care starts with an evaluation, and she presents bioidentical hormone replacement and supplements as two options she helps a patient choose between. Much of the rest is root cause testing through outside laboratories, with stool, mold, food sensitivity, neurotransmitter and genomic panels, and she asks patients to read those laboratories' own websites first. She is board certified in obesity medicine too, so weight and GLP1 medication sit in the same visit as perimenopause and menopause.
Kelly Strawser is a certified nurse midwife at Henry Ford Women's Health in Royal Oak, and her profile names her a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. Henry Ford says its certified nurse midwives care for women from puberty through menopause, and menopausal care is one of the services they list. The midwives treat menopause as a normal life stage rather than a medical problem, and they work alongside the gynecologists and obstetricians in the same group. Hormone therapy is offered and matched to a woman's own risk profile, with estrogen available as a gel, pill, patch, ring or vaginal cream. Henry Ford cautions that custom compounded hormones are not tested for purity or safety and points women to regulated products instead. Menopause is one of the reasons a patient can be seen by video visit through the Henry Ford patient portal.

Kelly Perisin is a nurse practitioner at MyMenopauseRx, a video-only practice that treats nothing but perimenopause and menopause. It was started by a Chicago-area gynecologist and bills insurance like a regular office. Visits take about 30 minutes on Zoom, and you can book the same clinician every time and message the care team between visits. Kelly came to menopause care from weight management and urgent care, and she draws on that when helping women with midlife weight gain. The practice prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone sent to your own pharmacy, and it prescribes testosterone directly only for patients in Illinois. It is meant to work alongside your own primary care doctor, who still handles anything that needs a physical exam.
Gennev is an all-virtual menopause clinic owned by Unified Women's Healthcare, and care starts with a 30 minute video visit with a menopause-trained doctor. Dunsmoor-Su is Gennev's chief medical officer and she also carries her own patient list. The areas she names herself include premature ovarian insufficiency, breast cancer risk and survivorship, endometriosis, and weight management with medication. Her background is clinical epidemiology, and she still runs women's health drug trials as a medical director at a Seattle research centre and teaches OB-GYN residents. She says she treats each visit as a chance to explain the current evidence so the decision about treatment is a shared one. Doctors here prescribe FDA-approved hormone therapy when a patient is a candidate and non-hormonal medicines when she is not, and the clinic tells patients to steer clear of compounded weight drugs made outside FDA oversight.
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.

Jennifer Soper is a women's health nurse practitioner who sees patients by video through Midi Health, a national virtual menopause practice. She spent 25 years as a labor and delivery nurse before becoming a nurse practitioner. She says estrogen therapy changed her own life when hot flashes started at 50, and that is why she moved into menopause care. Visits are billed to insurance or paid per visit, with no subscription. You can ask for her by name through the Book a Visit with Me link on her Midi page, though that can mean fewer open times than booking with any clinician.
Sarah Wallis is a certified nurse-midwife and women's health nurse practitioner with twenty years in women's health, seeing patients by video through Midi Health. Her focus is health and wellness in midlife and the menopause transition. She speaks English, Spanish and Arabic and describes her care as culturally sensitive. In her own words, many of her patients have felt dismissed by a health system that does not grasp how big the changes of midlife are. She wants every patient to understand how her own body works, so she can take charge of her well-being. Midi lists her as a clinical leader and her page has no booking link of her own, so the sign-up does not let a new patient choose her by name.
Dr. Kim runs a small general gynecology office in Saginaw where menopause management sits alongside routine exams, contraception and gynecologic surgery. Her site says she handles every service herself, from pap smears to menopause treatment, so you see the doctor rather than being handed off. She also treats osteoporosis, from screening through to treatment. The office has in-house vaginal laser treatment for dryness, painful sex and leaking after menopause, mostly run by her nurse practitioner, who started out in urology. Visits are in person only and booked by phone. The office is closed on Fridays and keeps a short lunchtime slot for people who can't come in during the workday.
Dr. O'Shell is an obstetrician gynecologist at Associated Obstetrics and Gynecology, a seven clinician group with offices in Bloomfield Hills and Clarkston, and joined the practice in September 2020. The practice bio describes care across the whole span of a woman's life, from routine and high risk pregnancy through to midlife and menopause, and names hormone replacement therapy among the stated areas of expertise. Hormone replacement therapy is one of eleven services the group lists under its own What we offer heading, and the gynecology page sets out menopause management alongside osteoporosis diagnosis and bone density testing. Surgery is a real part of the work here, with training in minimally invasive gynecologic, pelvic and robotic technique and certification in da Vinci robotic surgery. The practice runs a blood test for vitamin D status in its own office and reports that half the patients it checks come back deficient. Residency was in obstetrics and gynecology at a hospital in Southfield, and the bio notes deep roots in the local community after growing up in Walled Lake.
Dr. Bianchi is an OB-GYN at the Marshfield Medical Center clinics in Iron Mountain, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Menopause care is one of the types of care her profile lists, next to pregnancy and general gynecology, so menopause visits sit inside a broad OB-GYN practice rather than a separate menopause clinic. Her bio says she manages menopausal symptoms and also treats abnormal uterine bleeding, sexual health concerns and pelvic organ prolapse. The women's health department she works in names hormone therapy and bone density screening as part of its menopause care. She describes her approach as listening to the concern, doing her best to find an explanation, and then offering evidence-based options. She trained in osteopathic medicine and did her residency in Michigan, and she is raising three children with her husband, a captain in the Air Force.
Somerset Gynecology and Obstetrics is a seven physician obstetrics and gynecology practice with one office in Troy. Dr. Paladino treats patients from childhood through old age, with stated medical interests in anovulatory syndromes and menopausal hormone management. The practice says it offers traditional hormone replacement therapy and bioidentical hormone treatments, and it treats osteoporosis prevention as part of menopause care. Dr. Paladino is also a minimally invasive surgeon who operates laparoscopically and robotically, including a single site robotic approach. The practice page describes Dr. Paladino as an LGBTQIA friendly physician who provides gynecologic care and gender affirming hysterectomy to transgender men. The office runs diVa laser vaginal therapy for dryness and painful sex.
Walnut Lake OBGYN and Wellness is a four clinician practice inside the UWH of Michigan network, and Dr. O'Keefe is the one there who holds the menopause certification. She sees women from adolescence through menopause and keeps a pregnancy and gynecologic surgery practice alongside the menopause work. Her own page says she provides a full range of menopause treatments including the Mona Lisa Touch laser for vaginal dryness and pain with sex. A colleague in the same office offers that laser as well, so it is not hers alone. The practice bills insurance and publishes its own list of accepted plans on its page. New patients can choose her by name in the booking tool and book a first visit.
Dr. Marcotte is an OB/GYN at a large women's health group in West Bloomfield whose physicians all provide menopause care. Her own focus is minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, including vaginal and laparoscopic hysterectomy and repair of bladder leakage and pelvic prolapse. That makes her a good fit for women whose menopause symptoms come with bleeding, prolapse or incontinence problems that may need a procedure. The practice treats menopause with hormone therapy, estrogen therapy and non-hormonal prescriptions. Before joining the center she trained resident physicians in Cincinnati. Care is in person at the West Maple Road office, which says it is always accepting new patients.
Alexis Phillips is a family nurse practitioner at Okemos OB/GYN, one of twelve obstetrics and gynecology offices run by University of Michigan Health-Sparrow. She is the only nurse practitioner on the Okemos team, and the other providers listed there are physicians who also work at the system's other OB/GYN offices. Care is in person at the single Okemos office, which is open weekdays. New patients start by downloading the office's own paperwork packet and calling to be scheduled, because the site has no online booking. Visits are billed to insurance, and the system publishes the plans it takes rather than what a visit costs. Her page says she became a nurse practitioner because the human body fascinates her, and she mentions yoga, crocheting and her French bulldog Winston.
Dr. Morris has practiced gynecology in Ann Arbor for more than thirty years and has spent over two decades working only on perimenopause and menopause. She says she has been going to menopause society meetings since the 1990s, and she has been certified since 2006. Visits cover hormone therapy and non-hormonal treatment, with follow-ups for hormone management and medication adjustments. She also handles routine midlife gynecologic care, including annual exams, Pap tests and bone health screening support. Her own explainer on genitourinary syndrome of menopause walks through vaginal estrogen options and says laser treatment is controversial and not a first-line therapy. The office runs weekday mornings only, she sees patients in Ann Arbor and by video, and the practice is affiliated with Trinity Health Michigan.
Dr. Moore is a family physician at Munson Healthcare's Frankfort Medical Group, the system's family medicine office in Frankfort, on the same Park Avenue site as Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital. She sees patients of every age from newborns to older adults, and menopause care is one of the two interests her Munson profile names. Before medicine she worked in Anchorage, Alaska as a geophysicist reading seismic data, then moved back to Michigan for medical school. She finished family medicine residency in 2025, so she is early in practice. Care runs through a hospital system that bills insurance, so this is ordinary family-medicine office care rather than a separate menopause program. New patients book by calling the office, and once you are established you can book in person or video visits online.
Abby Brown is a nurse practitioner in the obstetrics and gynaecology clinics at University of Michigan Health, and she sees patients at the Brighton health centre as well as two Ann Arbor sites. She trained in both nurse midwifery and family practice, and she cares for women across the span of adult life, from contraception and low risk obstetrics through menopause. She is also one of the nurse practitioners in the health system's vulvar diseases clinic, which treats skin conditions of the vulva such as lichen sclerosus along with precancerous changes. A new patient there gets a long first appointment covering nursing education, a clinical exam and a sexual health visit, and a return visit is often with a different member of the team on purpose. Referrals to that clinic are heavy enough that it no longer takes routine vulvodynia cases and sends them to a separate clinic in the system. Visits can be in person or by video, and a video visit means being physically in Michigan on the day.
