Menopause Specialists Who Accept Medicare in Nebraska
41 practitioners have an office in Nebraska, and 46 more can see patients here by telehealth. 54 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Omaha, Lincoln and Norfolk.
Dr. Patera is an internal medicine doctor who sees adults at a Methodist Physicians Clinic in Waterloo, just west of Omaha. Midlife women's health is one of her stated clinical interests, alongside metabolic health and obesity medicine. She is also board certified in obesity medicine, so she is a good fit for a woman who wants menopause care and weight or metabolic concerns handled by one doctor. She grew up in Venezuela and sees patients in Spanish as well as English. Her profile says she is accepting new patients, and appointments are booked by calling the clinic.
Dr. Sullivan is a board-certified gynecologist at Associates in Womens Health, a large OB-GYN group in west Omaha. She cares for women at every stage of life, from young women and childbirth through menopause and beyond. Menopause care is offered in person at the office, with both hormonal and non-hormonal prescription options depending on your symptoms and history. She also delivers babies and does minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, having performed over 200 robotic-assisted hysterectomies. The practice does bone density testing and osteoporosis treatment in house. Appointments are made by phone, and the patient portal is for established patients.
Omaha OB-GYN Associates is a small private practice with offices in east and west Omaha, and Dr. Leishman-Barb is one of six physicians there. Her own page says her scope covers treatment of perimenopause and menopause along with endometriosis, abnormal bleeding, contraception and hormone replacement. Menopause care runs as an ordinary clinic visit rather than a separate program, starting with hormone testing and then choosing between hormone therapy, non-hormonal medication and lifestyle changes. Hormone therapy comes as pills, patches, creams and vaginal preparations, and nothing on the site mentions pellets or compounded hormones. She is one of two Menopause Society certified practitioners in the group, she treats hypoactive sexual desire disorder, and she belongs to ISSWSH. She also has experience in pelvic floor dysfunction and refers patients on to pelvic floor physical therapy.
