We provide longer visits, focusing on you and your individual goals with a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner whose expertise spans over 20 years of health care service. Midlife Wellness’s specific focus on women moving through perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause allows us to have our fingers on the pulse of a growing field that is changing every day. Unfortunately, there has not been enough research in the past that has been specific to the needs of women. Thankfully that is changing and new information becomes available nearly every week that is helping to change the game and increase our ability to care for women as they deserve to be cared for. You deserve to have the most up to date care available to you and Midlife Wellness strives to provide that to every patient.

Yes. Midlife Wellness is a consultation based practice and does not provide primary care or general gynecology services. Your visits with Lisa Gay will complement, not replace, your PCP.  It is important that you are established with a primary care provider for your chronic issues, preventative screenings, and urgent care. If you need help finding a provider, please let us know and we can guide you on your options.  

Yes! Hormone therapy is one of the main treatment avenues Midlife Wellness offers. When clinically appropriate, we prescribe a myriad of hormone therapies including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid hormones. We do not place hormone pellets.

No. Midlife Wellness only provides care for women at this time.

No. Insurance plans often severely limit the time a provider can spend with a patient and sometimes the type of care; therefore, Midlife Wellness does not participate with insurance plans. Our direct healthcare model removes barriers between you and your provider – forming a healthcare partnership; a healthcare experience designed to prioritize you. Upon request, we can provide you with the paperwork needed to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.

The initial consultation is $300 and will last 45 minutes to 1 hour.

A Transfer of Hormone Care visit is $200 and will last up to 30 minutes.

Follow up visits for all patients are $150 and will last up to 30 minutes.
