SPECIALIZED PERIMENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE CARE SAINT PAUL, MN
Finally, a doctor who gets it.
One-hour appointments. Real answers.
You're not imagining it.
Perimenopause is a true roller-coaster of hormones and symptoms.
Heart health · Bone health · Mental health · Sexual health
Treating your symptoms matters. But midlife is also when your risk for heart disease and bone loss starts to climb, and when mood and sexual health often shift. After 20 years in family medicine, I know how often that conversation gets skipped. Here, we'll talk about all of it, using the best evidence we have.
What you've heard vs. what's true
If these sound familiar, let's talk.
You'll get a full hour with me, and we'll look at the whole picture: your symptoms, your history, and what you want to feel like again.
For 20 years I worked in a traditional clinic — 20 to 25 patients a day, 15 minutes each. I'd end the day with a stack of unanswered messages and the nagging feeling I hadn't given my patients what they needed.
Then I became a patient myself. For the first time, a physician actually sat with me, asked the right questions, and gave me real time. It changed how I wanted to practice.
So I do things differently now. Five patients a day. One-hour appointments. No clock-watching — just the time and attention you deserve.
That's what The Menopause Clinic is built on.
Why is this different?
Michelle Chestovich, MD
You deserve better.

Virtual Book Club
Remember talking about Judy Blume books at every sleepover growing up? Let's do that again, but for midlife.
Read a good book, then come talk about it with other women who get it. That's really it.
First up: The Menopause Moment by Dr. Kelly Casperson. She's whip smart and actually funny, honestly a great way to learn all this midlife hormone stuff without it feeling like homework. Grab a copy, read it on your own time, and we'll get together virtually to talk through it. Later this fall we'll move on to her other book, You Are Not Broken.
No pressure to finish it perfectly or say anything smart. Just a low-key space to connect with other women navigating this stage of life, and maybe laugh a little along the way.
