| I am looking for a gyn recommendation - particularly a doctor who specializes or is well versed in menopause. I had a great doctor but during and post-pandemic the office and quality of care went down hill. Melinda Hall has been recommended but it's a 4 month waiting list and she does not take insurance. I'm open to anyone in the Fairfax, Annandale, Vienna, McLean, Reston, Falls Church or similar areas. I'm a bit far from DC but am willing to drive within NoVA to find a specialist that's good. Thank you. |

I found mine via Menopause.org, she's in Bethesda. I'm now in CA, I found my new GYN the same way.

| As a FYI most good menopause treatments aren't coveted by insurance because it isn't a real medical condition. That's right. Write your congressmen! |

What are you talking about? This is PP who has found both of her menopause practitioners via menopause.org. I don't know what you mean by "good menopause treatments" so you need to clarify, or are you just stirring the pot. If you mean non-FDA approved treatments, well yeah of course why would insurance cover it... nor should they. I'm on HRT, that is completely and 100% covered and has been for the last 10 years that I've been on it. What treatments are you talking about exactly? |

+1 I found mine on the same site. I see Dr. Winterling at Healthcare for Women in Falls Church. So very different than the practice that delivered my 3 kids! |

| 4 month waiting list? You will be done and post menopause by then. |

| OP, can you post where you ended up? are you happy with the practice? |

This is true. However many women do not have sever reactions/symptoms to menopause, so why should we all pay for the treatment of a few extreme cases? |

You could just do the Amazon Clinic online for women's health, or Midi online, and adjust as needed to find right HRT.
