Welcome to the Menopause Clinic in Houston
Compassionate, evidence-based menopause care — personalized for where you are in your journey.
The Menopause Clinic located in West Houston's Energy Corridor is here to provide women with everything they need to help them transition or go through menopause in a way that allows them to live their lives in a positive way.
Menopause is a natural part of a woman's life; it doesn't need to disrupt it. We offer a wide range of treatments including hormone treatments that use natural estrogen and natural progesterone. Our comprehensive care addresses diet, exercise, bone health, cholesterol, cancer and diabetes screening, and other symptoms like menopause hot flashes, bladder irritability, and anxiety.
