Menopause Specialists Who Accept Insurance in New York
346 practitioners have an office in New York, and 126 more can see patients here by telehealth. 326 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in New York, Rochester and Brooklyn.
Angela Glasnapp leads Prime Women's Health and Wellness, a menopause program housed inside the New York Bariatric Group. She is a board certified bariatric surgeon and obesity medicine specialist who went on to become a certified menopause practitioner, so one doctor handles both the hormone side and the weight side of midlife. Care runs as a yearly concierge membership with extended visits, priority scheduling, and direct access to her by portal, text or email between appointments. She prescribes systemic and vaginal hormone therapy as well as non hormonal options, and will add a GLP-1 medication to a midlife plan when it fits. Visits happen in person at a few New York and New Jersey offices or by video for patients in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
She is a board-certified psychiatrist who focuses on the mental health side of perimenopause. That means anxiety, low mood, irritability, poor sleep and brain fog that arrive in midlife. Care is online only and starts with a free 15-minute call and a long intake, then follow-ups that blend medication and lifestyle work. Medication can include antidepressants, sleep support, non-hormonal options for hot flashes, and estrogen and progesterone when they fit. She says she aims for the least medication that gets a real result. She spent 12 years in the military, including as medical director of an inpatient mental health unit.

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.
Kristen Semanision is a family medicine physician at One Medical's Upper East Side office in Manhattan. She writes on her own page that she is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner and particularly enjoys working with people in midlife. The rest of her bio leans on prevention, nutrition, stress management and mental well being, and she says she cares for patients of all ages and loves working with new parents. The office runs its own lab for tests its providers order, and it coordinates specialty referrals through Montefiore Einstein. One Medical names menopause as part of what its primary care providers handle but never says which treatments it prescribes, so what she offers for hormones is not published anywhere on the site. 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.
A virtual women's specialty care platform for complex hormonal, metabolic and gynecological conditions, where menopause and perimenopause sit alongside PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid disease, fibroids and primary ovarian insufficiency. Each patient is assigned one medical provider, either an obstetrician-gynecologist, an endocrinologist or a women's health nurse practitioner, plus a registered dietitian, and stays with both. Care starts with a 30-minute medical visit and a 45-minute nutrition visit, broad hormonal and metabolic labs, then check-ins every week or two. Prescribing is optional and patient-directed, covering transdermal and oral estradiol, micronized progesterone, a non-hormonal drug for hot flashes, weight medication and thyroid replacement, and a separate arm ships custom-compounded medication to patients.
Dr. Nouriel runs one of the few solo OB-GYN private practices in New York City, on the Upper East Side, and sees every patient herself at each visit. She is a Menopause Society certified practitioner and prescribes hormone replacement therapy when it suits the patient, with non-hormonal options offered alongside it. Her menopause work reaches past symptom relief into muscle, bone and heart health, with exercise and nutrition built into the plan. She is also a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon and performs many procedures in her own office instead of sending patients elsewhere, and she delivers at Lenox Hill Hospital. She worked as a biomedical engineer in medical device development before medicine, and she now teaches as an assistant professor at the Zucker School of Medicine. Visits are booked online and the office reviews a patient's insurance benefits before confirming the appointment.
Capital Region Women's Care is a gynecology only practice with offices in Troy and Clifton Park and a team of five clinicians. Its services list includes menopause care alongside annual exams, ultrasound, contraception and in office procedures, though no page describes which hormone treatments are offered. Dr. Bloss is the practice's surgeon and performs robotic and laparoscopic hysterectomy, fibroid removal, ovary removal and endometriosis surgery. He has a particular interest in chronic pelvic pain and belongs to the International Pelvic Pain Society. His bio says the births of his six children shaped how he practices and that he spends a lot of time talking things through with patients. Current patients can book annual exams, problem visits and injections online, but new patients still have to call the office to get established.
Dr. Kurss is an OB-GYN at Invision Health, a large multi-specialty group in Williamsville outside Buffalo. Its doctors in neurology, pain, primary care, physical therapy and other fields all share one medical record. He does some gynecologic procedures in the office, such as endometrial ablation for heavy periods, so patients can skip a hospital stay. He teaches residents as a clinical assistant professor at the University at Buffalo. His practice bio doesn't mention hormone therapy directly, though the group's other OB-GYNs list menopause care. New patients book through the main scheduling line.
Greece OB/GYN is a long-established Rochester-area obstetrics and gynecology group of four physicians plus a PA and an LPN, caring for women from puberty through menopause out of one suburban office built in 2019. Alongside routine gyn and obstetric care it runs a urogynecology arm with urodynamic testing, pessary management, bladder instillations, post-tibial nerve stimulation and bladder Botox, and does office-based procedures including hysteroscopy, colposcopy, LEEP and endometrial biopsy. It says it was the first practice in the greater Rochester area to offer ThermiVa, a non-hormonal radiofrequency treatment for vaginal dryness, painful intercourse and urinary incontinence. Dr. Hunse's listed professional interests are pre-conception and prenatal care, family planning, infertility, menopause, and minimally invasive surgery including robotic procedures.
Tiffani Hughson is a certified nurse midwife at Maiden Lane Medical, a large multi-specialty practice in lower Manhattan. Her practice profile lists her as a telemedicine provider, so visits with her are virtual for patients in New York. She trained in full-scope obstetrics and gynecology and now focuses on perimenopause, menopause and women's sexual health. She manages hormone therapy alongside routine gynecologic care. The practice offers oral and transdermal hormone therapy, vaginal estrogen and DHEA, and non-hormonal medicines. Visits are booked online through the practice's 24/7 telemedicine scheduler.

Dr. Buruiana has run her own solo practice in a midtown Manhattan medical building since 2001. She is board certified in both internal medicine and obstetrics and gynecology, and she uses that primary care training to look at a patient's whole health rather than one complaint. Her stated approach to menopause is to treat it as a moment to prevent later disease, so prevention of bone loss and heart disease sits alongside symptom care. The office is an accredited advanced sonography center and runs its own gynecologic ultrasound, saline infusion sonography and office hysteroscopy on site. New patients complete a long health questionnaire before the first visit and are asked to allow two hours for it. Her site describes her menopause care at length but never names a hormone or any other medicine she prescribes.
Trust Women's Healthcare is a women's health practice with offices in Brooklyn and in Deer Park on Long Island. Menopause care sits alongside PCOS, routine gynecology, sexual health and pregnancy care, and for menopause the practice names hormone therapy, non-hormonal prescriptions and treatment for vaginal dryness as its options. It was founded by a nurse practitioner who built it for women who get brushed off elsewhere, especially women of color, and it runs on insurance rather than out of pocket payment. Keavern Kirby earned her master's in women's health at SUNY Downstate and her own stated focus is gynecology, menstrual cycle disorders and pelvic pain. The office is open six days a week with evening hours most weekdays and Saturday mornings, and new patients pick their own slot through the online scheduler. There is also a medically supervised weight loss program that can include prescription medication.
Faubion is an internist at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville and sees patients through its Women's Health Specialty Clinic. She founded and directs the Mayo Clinic Center for Women's Health, and every condition listed on her own clinical page is a menopause or female sexual health one, so midlife care is the whole of her practice. The clinic runs two routes for a new patient, a menopause consultation that covers natural, surgical and cancer treatment induced menopause as well as primary ovarian insufficiency, and a sexual health consultation for low libido and painful sex. Her page says she helps women work through hormone therapy and understand their options. Appointments go through Mayo's central request process, which in most cases needs no referral, and established patients message her team through the Mayo patient portal. She also practices at Mayo's Rochester campus, and away from work she grows orchids and cooks.
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.
Kellie Greene is one of only two providers at One Medical's Dublin office in the Bridge Park loop, which One Medical runs in collaboration with the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. She spent more than 20 years in direct patient care before her nine years as a nurse practitioner in family practice, and she sees patients of all ages. Her own stated clinical interests are paediatrics, preventive care and women's health. One Medical names menopause among the women's health issues its primary care providers handle, but no page on the site says what it prescribes for it. The office keeps drop-in lab hours, takes bookings online without a membership, and lists her by name with her own appointment times.
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.
Audubon Women's Medical Associates is an all women OB/GYN group in Buffalo's Northtowns, and Dr. Hoebel has practiced there since 1994. The group's gynecology services include menopausal evaluation and management, hormone replacement therapy and non-hormonal alternatives for menopausal symptoms. Dr. Hoebel's own listed interests are hysteroscopic procedures and adolescent and pediatric gynecology, and she is the physician the practice names for patients as young as seven. One of the group's nurse practitioners is also Menopause Society certified and is the clinician whose page describes offering testosterone therapy. Obstetric care is run as a group so patients see several physicians, and all surgery is performed at Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital. Two independent therapists work on site and take their own appointments.
Mulberry OBGYN is a solo practice on Centre Street in Lower Manhattan, started by Dr. Nyein so that patients see the same physician at every visit. Perimenopause and menopause are the center of the practice, alongside sexual health, surgical gynecology and a concierge pregnancy program. He begins with a long history of cycles and symptoms rather than a single blood test, and uses labs and imaging only where they add something. For hormones he favors regulated FDA-approved preparations and advises against compounded protocols and pellets, and he will consider testosterone only for diagnosed low desire. Because he is also a minimally invasive and robotic surgeon, he can work up abnormal bleeding in his own office with ultrasound, endometrial sampling or hysteroscopy. He is an osteopathic physician who offers hands-on osteopathic manipulative treatment to some patients, and he is the next generation of a family that has cared for women in New York for more than fifty years.
1060 OBGYN is a private, physician owned practice with two Manhattan offices, one on the Upper East Side and one in Midtown. Dr. Elliston co-founded the practice and serves as its Medical Director, and the practice names menopausal hormone therapy, advanced family planning and hypnobirthing as the areas of specialization. All of the practice's physicians deliver at Lenox Hill Hospital, so a full obstetric service runs alongside the gynecology care. The office places IUDs on site and offers local anesthesia, nitrous oxide and intravenous sedation for the procedure. A separate electromagnetic chair treatment for pelvic floor weakness and urinary leakage is bookable at the Midtown office. Telemedicine visits with the practice's clinicians are arranged by calling the office.
Kostant is one of several gynecologists at Carnegie Women's Health, the gynecology office of a high risk pregnancy group called Maternal Fetal Medicine Associates on the Upper East Side. Her own page says she handles annual exams, pregnancy planning and perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, and that she does office and outpatient surgery herself. The practice describes menopause care as starting with blood work to check hormone levels, then choosing between hormone therapy with estrogen and progesterone or a low dose antidepressant. Carnegie also does BioTE hormone pellets, but the site names two other doctors with that service rather than her. Visits are requested through a form on the site, and you pick either the office or a Zoom appointment when you fill it in. Because the group's main business is high risk obstetrics, midlife care sits in the same office as genetic cancer screening and a nutritionist.
Downtown Women is a long established SoHo practice staffed by women clinicians, and Dr. Buxbaum joined it in 1994 to rebuild the obstetrics side. She delivered babies there for years and now limits her practice to office gynecology. Her stated interests are premenstrual syndrome, perimenopause and menopause, along with abnormal uterine bleeding and the management of abnormal Pap smears. The practice answers the menopause question on its own FAQ, saying it has providers with a special interest in treating menopause and that the approach covers lifestyle strategies, bioidentical hormones and conventional hormone replacement therapy. One thing to know is that she is not on the practice's online scheduler, so her appointments go through the office appointment staff by phone. The practice also runs an in house reproductive mental health program whose therapists see patients through perimenopause and menopause.
Associates for Women's Medicine is an obstetrics and gynecology group with sixteen clinicians and three offices around Syracuse. Dr. Auerbach joined in 2013 and is a partner and owner, and she chairs obstetrics and gynecology at St. Joseph's Hospital. Her own page says her practice is now limited to gynecology with a focus on perimenopausal and menopausal women, and on minimally invasive surgery. She performs both robotic and laparoscopic operations, and the group has its own accredited surgical suite in Fayetteville plus an in-house laboratory. Each provider has a personal video visit link on the website, so a telehealth appointment goes straight to her own virtual room. The group's menopause page explains hormone therapy and non-hormonal options as general background rather than saying what the practice itself prescribes.
Women for Women OB/GYN is an all-female Long Island practice of six board certified OB/GYN physicians and one nurse midwife, and it belongs to Northwell Health Physician Partners. Dr. Duncan has been in private practice there since 2000 and is the only clinician in the group who works in integrative and functional medicine. She runs a Personalized Wellness Consultation that the practice puts under her name alone, and the request form for it offers no other provider. That visit is a 60 minute first appointment followed by a 30 minute review two to four weeks later, and she answers patients through the portal between visits. Her management plans combine conventional treatment with nutrition, natural hormones, botanicals and nutraceuticals, and menopause symptoms come first in the list of conditions she handles that way. The group also performs office and hospital gynecologic surgery at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and the Botox and filler work belongs to its nurse practitioner rather than to her.
