How she practices

Dr. Alexis starts by listening. Many women in perimenopause and menopause have had plenty of tests but little time to explain what is happening to them. A first visit with her is a conversation about your symptoms, your health history and what you have already tried. Treatment and lab work come after that.

Most of her patients come for hormone therapy. She builds the plan around it and adds evidence-based natural therapies for sleep, mood and metabolic health where they help. At follow-ups, she adjusts your plan as your symptoms change.

Her goal, in her own words from the About page, is to help women address the root causes of menopause symptoms and live a long and healthy life full of purpose and love.
