About Certified Menopause

What this directory is

Certified Menopause helps people at midlife find clinicians who actually practice menopause medicine — not a generic OB/GYN listing. We list only providers who clear a three-part credential bar: a valid NPI, a current state medical license, and at least one menopause-care credential (MSCP, NAMS legacy, or ABMS board certification in OB/GYN, Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, or Family Medicine).

Why credentials matter here

Menopause care sits under Google's YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) tier: medical information where accuracy directly affects health decisions. Many menopause "directories" are pay-to-list or surface anyone who mentions HRT in their bio. We take the opposite position — every credential shown on a provider page links back to the primary source we verified it against (CMS NPPES, state medical board, ABMS / CertificationMatters.org, or The Menopause Society).

How providers are ranked

Providers are ordered by credential depth first (board-certified + MSCP > board-certified alone > state license alone), then by clinic location within the requested city. We do not accept payment to influence provider ranking or placement. No clinic can pay to appear higher.

How we pay for this

Certified Menopause is free to use and carries no clinic ads. When we recommend a DTC telehealth alternative (Midi, Evernow, Alloy, Hers, Winona) we may earn an affiliate commission if you start care through a tracked link — always marked with rel="sponsored". Affiliate revenue does not influence which clinicians are listed, their order on a city page, or whether a credential shows as verified.

Editorial oversight

The directory is built and maintained by StudioChrome. Medical content (credential explainers, treatment pages, telehealth comparisons) is reviewed by a board-certified menopause clinician before publication; the named reviewer and their credentials appear at the bottom of every medical page once review is complete.

Launch note: During the soft-launch window we are seeking a named menopause clinician to serve as editorial reviewer. Until that appointment is public, medical pages carry a review pending banner. If you are MSCP or NAMS-credentialed and interested, reach out.

Not medical advice

This directory is for informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment plan. Hormone therapy decisions — whether to start, which route, what dose — should be made with a qualified clinician who knows your personal and family history. The presence of a provider here is not a clinical endorsement.

Corrections

If a credential is shown incorrectly, a provider has retired or moved, or a clinic page no longer reflects reality — let us know. Credential accuracy is the product; reporting a broken one helps everyone.
