Start here — before the forms.

Most women who schedule a visit have been dealing with their symptoms longer than they should have. Take 5 minutes to understand what's happening, why it's real, and what your visit will actually look like. Patients who come prepared get significantly more from their appointment.

Prepare for your visit →

All forms must be submitted at least 24 hours before your appointment. If forms are not completed on time, your visit will need to be rescheduled. We need this information to make the most of your time together.

What to expect

What we'll do together.

This is not a rushed 12-minute appointment. We take the time to actually understand what's going on — and you leave with a clear plan regardless of what you decide next.

Review your symptoms, goals, and history in full. Not a checkbox exercise — a real conversation about what you're experiencing and how long it's been going on.

Discuss evidence-based options tailored to you — both hormone and non-hormone approaches. You'll understand every option before we recommend anything.

Explain the reasoning and research behind every recommendation. You'll know where our information comes from and why it applies to you specifically.

Leave with a clear, personalized plan and next steps — even if you choose not to begin treatment immediately. There is no pressure and no obligation.

"Most women who come to us aren't looking for hormones. They're looking to sleep again. Think clearly. Feel steady. Feel like themselves."

After your visit

What happens next.

After your appointment, you'll receive a follow-up from us with next steps tailored to what we discussed.

If you choose to move forward, treatment can typically begin within 24 hours of completing membership registration. Prescriptions and lab orders are sent promptly once enrollment is complete — no weeks of waiting.

Most follow-up care happens through secure portal messaging, not repeat visits. Care that responds to you in real time, designed to fit into your life.

Curious what that actually looks like day-to-day? This gives you a sense of how ongoing care works between visits.

The Menopause Clinic

What about visits?

Visits are always available — we just don't require them for everything.

Video and in-person visits are always available. If something needs a real-time conversation or a new-patient workup, we can schedule that. Some situations genuinely call for it.

But most adjustments, refills, and follow-ups don't require one. That's the point.
