Gyn recs for menopause

[Anonymous]

I am 48 and hormonally all over the place. Looking for a new gyn, ideally one who takes insurance and is excellent with peri/menopause issues. Would appreciate any recs - thanks.

I would look for a Menopause Society certified practitioner.

I chose my pcp in large part because of the hard time I was having with hot flashes, and she's been great. But she's primary care and concierge and you are looking for a gyn who takes insurance. So I'd look here: https://portal.menopause.org/NAMS/NAMS/Directory/Menopause-Practitioner.aspx

I use MIDI, though my nurse practitioner there just told me they switched regular check ins to 15 mins, but I'm sure initial meetings are still longer. If you don't like the NP you get, ask to change. I get more in depth convo with her than with my usual GYN.

Do they send you somewhere for lab work?

Where are you located? I like Dr. A at Fairfax Gynecology Group.

I used Erin Perucci in Fairfax. Can do telehealth. Very knowledgeable. Labwork is not a prerequisite to HRT.

GWU MFA OBGYN practice, they have multiple locations.

Amy Levav at Women's Health Specialists in Rockville (North Bethesda area, not City of Rockville). I always recommend her, and then there's someone who comes on and bashes her. No idea what they went through, but I think she's fabulous, and I've had lots of issues, heavy bleeding, cysts, fibroids - she has been great with options ranging from wait and see or surgery and in-between, giving me the information and allowing me to make decisions.
