What qualities should you look for in a clinician for menopause care?

When looking for a clinician for menopause care, it’s important to prioritize a few key qualities to ensure you get the best support and outcomes:

Menopause Expertise: Choose a clinician who is specifically trained in menopause and midlife health. At Alloy, all our providers are board-certified physicians and menopause experts, following the latest guidelines from The Menopause Society and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Deep Clinical Experience: Look for someone who has extensive experience managing not just menopause, but the full spectrum of women’s health issues that can arise during this stage of life. Our doctors at Alloy have decades of experience and understand the complexities of hormonal changes, related conditions, and the need for individualized care.
Evidence-Based Approach: Your clinician should use up-to-date, science-backed treatments and be comfortable with both hormonal and non-hormonal options, tailoring care to your needs and preferences.
Good Listener & Communicator: It’s essential that your clinician listens to your story, respects your choices, and communicates clearly. Many women find relief simply by being heard and having their symptoms validated.
Accessibility & Ongoing Support: Menopause care often requires adjustments and ongoing communication. At Alloy, we offer 24/7 messaging with your doctor and quick response times, so you’re never left waiting for answers or support.
