Individualized hormone & midlife care, built around you
Expert hormone therapy is the heart of our care — with comprehensive testing and longevity work available as an add-on whenever you want to go deeper. We'll meet you where you are and build a plan that fits your goals.
From your 30s through the years well after menopause
Hormones change across the entire arc of a woman's life — not just at menopause. We see women through every stage, whether you're navigating premenstrual concerns in your 30s or thinking about brain and bone health decades after menopause.
Premenopausal — 30s and into early 40s
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), irregular periods, PMOS (previously known as PCOS), endometriosis, and postpartum hormone concerns. We help you understand your menstrual cycle, find the right birth control when that's part of the picture, and treat conditions that have often been brushed off elsewhere.
Early or medical menopause
Premature ovarian insufficiency (menopause before age 40), surgical menopause, medically induced menopause, and cancer survivorship. We offer hormone therapy AND non-hormonal support as clinically indicated — individualized to your history.
Perimenopause & menopause
The transition years — HRT, symptom relief, and the full picture of how shifting hormones are affecting your sleep, mood, brain, metabolism, libido, joints, bone, and GSM. Whether you want focused symptom relief or a deeper plan, we meet you where you are.
Postmenopause & beyond
Many years after the transition — longevity questions, genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), brain health, bone health, and the prevention work that matters most in this stage of life. It's never too late to start a thoughtful conversation about your healthspan.
Hormones touch every system — we treat the whole picture
Hormones shape your sleep, mood, metabolism, bone density, cardiovascular and brain health, sexual wellness, and how your body responds to stress. Optimizing them is one of the highest-leverage things you can do for how you feel today and for your long-term health risks and longevity. Optimizing your hormones is our core work. When you want to go further, comprehensive testing, prevention, and longevity care are available as an add-on — built around what you actually need.
Focused
Hormone optimization & symptom relief
Personalized hormone therapy (HRT) when appropriate — FDA-approved bioidentical hormones, careful dosing, and the time to actually individualize your plan. We also offer non-hormonal support when hormone therapy isn't the right fit. Treating symptoms across the body: sleep, mood, brain, weight, libido, GSM, bone, joint, vasomotor, and more.
Additional focus
Longevity & prevention
We encourage every patient to explore our free education library on these topics. When you want to go further, we're happy to provide these additional services — plan on additional visits to review your results. Our goal is a deeper, individualized understanding and guidance built around your personal needs and goals. Areas of focus: bone, brain, cardiovascular, metabolic, and sexual health.

What we may order or recommend
Based on your symptoms, history, and goals. Knowledge is power — we'd rather know than guess. Common items we order, individualized to you:
- Individualized hormone testingEstradiol, testosterone, thyroid, insulin, and more.
- Comprehensive metabolic panel & complete blood countBaseline metabolic and blood health.
- Cardiometabolic panelLipids, Apo B, Lp(a), hs-CRP — modern cardiovascular risk markers.
- Iron, vitamin D & moreNutrient testing individualized to your history and goals.
- Bone density (DEXA)Ordered through your local imaging center.
- Coronary calcium scoreFor meaningful prevention conversations about your heart.
- Cancer genetic testingThrough Myriad, per NCCN guidelines — for patients with a family history of cancer who qualify.
- Supplement recommendationsEvidence-based, when they fit your plan. Not a sales pitch.
- And more, as appropriateWhatever your care plan needs.
Labs, imaging, and medications are ordered through outside facilities (your local lab, imaging center, or pharmacy) and billed by them directly. We don't have visibility into their pricing — we encourage you to ask those facilities about cost in advance, especially if you're paying out of pocket. That said, we do have access to discounted cash-pay lab testing through Quest if you're interested — just ask.

Ongoing care that adapts

Simple, upfront pricing
No surprises. Pay per visit, with a small monthly membership to keep care connected. The same structure whether you're here for hormone care or adding comprehensive testing and longevity work.
What you'll spend depends on how deeply you want to work with us
Every patient is different. Some women come to us specifically for hormone optimization; others want a deeper partnership across preventative care and longevity. How often we meet — and what your total spend looks like — depends on your goals and what fits your life.
Example A
Focused on HRT
60-minute intake, then follow-ups at 6–8 weeks (typically a few while we dial in your plan), then check-ins at 6–12 month intervals.
Many patients feel significantly better within the first 3 months — after that we're optimizing. Some require no adjustments at all.
Example B
Adding preventative care & longevity
For deeper screening and prevention work across our pillars — brain, heart, bone, sleep, metabolic, and sexual health. Visits run 30–60 minutes, and you can expect follow-ups to discuss your testing results, so additional visits may be appropriate.
Screening tests are individualized based on your history and goals.
Insurance & HSA/FSA
As a small, multistate practice, we are not in-network with any insurance and we do not bill insurance directly. We can provide a superbill (an itemized receipt) on request that you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement — though we cannot guarantee whether or how much your insurance will reimburse.
Many patients use HSA or FSA accounts to cover our services.
Our prices are listed right here — what you see is exactly what you'll pay for our services. Labs, imaging, and medications are billed separately by outside facilities.
Medicare & Medicaid
We are not able to accept patients enrolled in Medicaid, and we cannot bill Medicare.
If you're a Medicare-eligible patient, you must book your discovery call with Dr. Kelly Baxter. Due to Medicare requirements, she is the only Ovella physician who can see Medicare patients — when you book, please select Dr. Kelly Baxter. Questions? Reach us at admin@ovellahealth.com.
