29 practitioners have an office in Rhode Island, and 39 more can see patients here by telehealth. 35 of them are certified by the Menopause Society, and the most are in Providence, Warwick and Pawtucket.
Dr. Zhang is an internist who runs a direct primary care practice in East Providence with one other physician. Each doctor caps the panel at 300 patients, so visits run 30 to 60 minutes and members can reach him by phone, text or video. He trained in urology before moving to internal medicine, and he is also board certified in lifestyle medicine. His menopause care is part of general adult primary care, with a strong lean toward nutrition and plant-based eating. He can do ultrasound right in the office, and virtual visits are available.
Jana Magarian is the menopause-certified nurse practitioner at Macrae Medical, a small membership practice on Aquidneck Island. Menopause care is its own monthly membership with unlimited visits, separate from the practice's primary care membership. She uses FDA-approved hormone therapy and non-hormonal options, along with diet, exercise and lifestyle advice. Her care also covers bone and heart health, and she manages thyroid problems as part of her primary care work. The practice does not bill insurance for visits, so patients keep their own insurance for specialists and emergencies.
Gennev is a virtual menopause clinic and Brekke is one of the doctors on its prescriber roster. She is a board certified OB-GYN with more than 25 years in practice, and her own page names perimenopause, menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency and weight management medication. Her stated approach is for women who are good at supporting everyone around them and who struggle to put themselves first. She says she does not do meal plans or macros, and works instead through small habits that build on what a patient already does well. Visits are by video and run 30 minutes, and a referral to one of the clinic's dietitians can be made at the first appointment. The clinic prescribes GLP-1 medication on its weight track and says plainly that it will not use compounded versions.
Gisele Thissen runs WISH on her own as a fully virtual practice, so every visit happens by video and there is no office to walk into. Every new patient starts with the same long one-on-one assessment, which runs about an hour and covers symptoms, history, medications and previous treatment before anything is decided. She prescribes hormone therapy and women's testosterone where it fits the history, and she treats thyroid problems, metabolic and weight concerns, and sexual health complaints alongside the menopause transition. After the assessment she recommends either a six month course of care called Reclaim or a twelve month concierge year, and neither is required. She spent over a decade as a bedside nurse in obstetrics before moving into private practice, and she sees patients in Spanish as well as English. When an exam, imaging or a specialist is needed she helps arrange it locally and brings the findings back into the plan.
Diana Kumar is a board certified OB-GYN who co-founded Gliss Wellness, a virtual practice built around perimenopause and menopause. All care happens by video and secure messaging, so there is no office to visit. A menopause visit runs about 30 minutes and ends with a plan and prescriptions for an initial three month period, followed by a check-in visit before refills continue for the rest of the year. She prescribes hormone therapy when it fits, can order labs and scans, and sends prescriptions to the patient's own pharmacy. She also sees women for weight counseling and for urgent gynecology problems handled through a short written form. Her stated areas of interest are PCOS, sexual dysfunction, bone health and longevity medicine.
Tammie Blair sees patients through Midi Health, a virtual women's health clinic that works by video only. She focuses on the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause, and names weight shifts, poor sleep, mood changes and painful sex as the symptoms those changes drive. A first visit runs about 30 minutes and ends with a written care plan, and follow-ups are shorter check-ins you can book as often as you need. Midi's hormone options are FDA-approved patches, pills, gels, creams and sprays, and a plan can also include vaginal estrogen, non-hormone prescriptions and GLP-1 medication. There is no office to visit, so Midi refers out anything that needs an exam such as a mammogram and asks you to keep seeing your own regular doctors. Her own page on the site has a booking link that starts a new patient with her.
Allie Theiss is a menopause coach, not a licensed clinician, and she does not prescribe. The main service is a private three or six month coaching program on her own six-part framework, covering nutrition, supplements, flower essences, sleep and stress, intimacy and energy. Smaller options are a one-off audit with a recorded video review, and single paid sessions by Zoom, phone or in person in Akron. She writes that hormone therapy was not an option in her own menopause, and the program's answer to hormonal symptoms is supplements, flower essences and lifestyle change rather than medical treatment. When checked, the online calendars for the paid sessions showed no open times and were not taking payment, so the audit and the coaching program were the open ways to start.
Dr. Carol runs a small concierge practice for women in perimenopause and menopause, and she is going through midlife herself. She spent about 20 years as an emergency physician before turning to menopause care. Care starts with a free 30-minute video call, then a package of two long visits, each 60 to 90 minutes, with messaging between and after them. Visits can be at her Manhattan office, by video, or at your home or workplace. The visits look at symptom treatment along with bone, heart and breast cancer risk. She does not replace your own doctors, so you still need a primary care doctor and a gynecologist for exams and mammograms.
Kristen Loose is the menopause specialist at Dr. Gina Mantor's medical spa and weight clinic in Westerville, where the rest of the practice focuses on aesthetics and weight loss. She treats perimenopause and menopause with standard hormone therapy, and offers non-hormonal prescriptions and lifestyle advice to women who can't or would rather not take hormones. The first consultation is free and happens by video. After that she sees patients in the office on Wednesdays and Saturdays or by appointment. She follows Menopause Society guidance closely and writes on the clinic's site that soy and black cohosh don't hold up for hot flashes.
Thrive Psychotherapy and Wellness is Jennifer Phillips's talk therapy practice in Warwick. She is a clinical social worker, so what happens here is counseling rather than medical treatment, and nobody at the practice prescribes hormones or manages hormone therapy. She spent years as a medical social worker at a women's hospital in primary care and then in the women's oncology and breast health program, and that background shapes how she works with women going through cancer, surgery and hormonal change. The site lists a women's hormonal health section, but that page says it is still under construction and points visitors back to the general psychotherapy offerings. Online scheduling is open to established clients only, so a new person starts by sending a referral or waitlist request.
Therapy for Midlife is Dr. Rashkis's solo virtual practice, and every session runs over video. She works with women moving through perimenopause and menopause, and she also sees men in midlife and couples. Care is talk therapy only, and the FAQ says the practice does not prescribe medication, though she will discuss a referral to a prescribing physician and can speak with your own doctor if you give written permission. For menopause she uses cognitive behavioral therapy for the distress that comes with hot flashes and CBT for insomnia for sleep trouble, alongside acceptance and commitment therapy and emotionally focused therapy. Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly at first and then spaced further apart, and she says most clients need five to fifteen of them. She is a lifelong competitive athlete who says she went through her own midlife upheaval, which is what led her to start the practice.
Dana Johnson is a registered nurse who spent about 20 years in the ICU before founding Qavah Functional Wellness, a telehealth-only practice. She started it after her own Long COVID turned into autoimmune and gut problems and then a hard menopause transition. Hormone therapy is offered to Alabama residents only, while the lab and gut health services also reach a few other southern states. Each hormone plan starts with lab work and a consultation, and bioidentical hormones come as creams, gels, pills, troches or injections. Prescriptions are written by the practice's licensed providers rather than by Dana, who is a nurse. New patients start with an online consultation request, and the team calls back within one business day.
Orama Wellness is an online psychology practice that Linda Kondilis founded in Atlanta after years of work in reproductive mental health. Care here is talk therapy rather than medical care, and nobody on the team prescribes hormones or orders labs. The perimenopause service is about coping with sleep trouble, anxiety, brain fog, pain and changes in sex and relationships. Most of the practice is fertility and third party reproduction work, with cancer support and couples counseling alongside it. New clients request a first appointment through the practice's booking portal, and she offers a free phone consultation before starting.
Dr. Kunkel is a gynecologist who runs her own membership practice for women's health inside Direct Doctors, a physician-only direct care group in East Greenwich. She spent seven and a half years as a general OB/GYN before building a practice around midlife women, and she also holds board certification in obesity medicine. New patients start with a one-time consult of up to an hour, then join her monthly membership, which is required for hormone therapy. Members can reach her directly by text, email and phone. She also treats primary ovarian insufficiency and handles in-office gynecology such as biopsies and IUDs. She began her working life in theater before switching to medicine.
Gliss Wellness is a virtual-only OB/GYN practice Dr. Walsh co-founded with a second board-certified OB/GYN, and menopause care is its main focus. Care starts with a 30-minute video consultation about your symptoms, and if hormone therapy suits you, you leave with prescriptions for the first three months. A follow-up at three months keeps refills going for the rest of the year, and refills in between happen by message through the patient portal. There is no membership, and you fill prescriptions at your own pharmacy. The doctors can't examine you in person but can order labs and other tests. Dr. Walsh's own interests include pelvic pain, endometriosis, fibroids and weight loss, and a free 15-minute call lets you meet the team before booking.
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.
Zaluski is one of three clinicians in the Midlife Care Center at Women & Infants Hospital, a consultative menopause program that sits inside the hospital's gynecology specialties group. Patients reach it on a referral from their primary care provider or gynecologist, or by calling the clinic directly. The stated work is evaluation and treatment of hot flashes and night sweats, vulvovaginal problems such as dryness and painful sex, and preventive care for women in midlife. The team's own page invites women to come in and talk through hormonal and non-hormonal options, including women already on hormone therapy who want to review what they are taking. Alongside the menopause work Zaluski keeps a general gynecology practice, with listed interests in abnormal uterine bleeding, cervical dysplasia and vulvovaginal health. Zaluski also sees patients at two other Care New England offices.
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.
