What services do you offer?I offer evaluation and management of symptoms and hormonal concerns related to perimenopause and menopause including premature and surgical menopause. New patient visits are one hour in length and follow up visits 30 minutes.
-
What are your credentials?I am a Board Certified OB/GYN and Certified Menopause Practitioner by the Menopause Society. You can read more about this certification here: https://www.menopause.org/for-women/whats-an-ncmp
-
Do you perform annual gyn exams?No. I have chosen to devote my career and practice to providing the most up to date and evidence based care for women experiencing the symptoms of the menopause transition. While I am no longer offering full gynecologic care, I will work alongside your primary gynecologist and/or PCP to ensure we are all on the same page with your treatment plan.
-
Do you prescribe hormone replacement therapy?Yes! Prescribing hormone therapy when safe and indicated is a large part of my practice, including FDA-approved forms of bio-identical hormones.
-
Do you accept insurance?Helia Health is out of network with all insurance providers for visit fees. This allows me to provide longer visits than a traditional reimbursement model in order to optimize a personalized plan for you. It also allows for this practice to be run from top to bottom by me without any staff, allowing us to communicate directly at all times. HSA/FSA payments can be used for the entirety of your visit. Alternatively I can provide you with a copy of your super-bill to submit to your insurance company should they reimburse for out of network care. All labs and prescriptions will be prescribed through insurance. My visit costs are determined based on information posted on https://www.fairhealthconsumer.org/.
-
What if I have seen you at another practice?If I have seen you within the past 3 years at any location please schedule a follow up visit, I look forward to seeing you again!
-
Can I see you via telemedicine?Yes! For patients located in North Carolina at the time of your visit we can absolutely schedule you to be seen via video conference. If you are outside of North Carolina and in need of a menopause provider, I recommend finding a Certified Menopause Practioner here: https://portal.menopause.org/NAMS/NAMS/Directory/Menopause-Practitioner.aspx

I have a history of breast cancer, is Helia the right place for me?Yes. If you are currently undergoing breast cancer treatments that induce early menopause or you have a history of breast cancer and are in natural menopause, we can work together to develop a plan to safely manage your symptoms.
