The Concierge Advantage: Personalized Menopause Care That Takes Time
Last updated October 2025
Slowing Down to Get It Right
Menopause isn’t a single milestone; it’s a season of change that can influence every aspect of your health, from sleep and mood to metabolism and heart health. Yet too often, the care surrounding it feels rushed. In a standard 10- or 15-minute appointment, there’s barely time to review symptoms, let alone explore what’s happening beneath the surface.
That’s where concierge medicine transforms the experience. At Lindsey Cassidy, MD & Associates, longer, unhurried visits create space for a true partnership. We take the time to listen, ask better questions, and design a care plan that feels realistic and personalized, not generic or one-size-fits-all.
What More Time Really Means
In my concierge practice, I see a limited number of patients, allowing each visit to last 30 to 60 minutes. That time is what allows us to get to the root of your symptoms and build a plan that fits your body and lifestyle.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
We start by listening. Your story is the foundation of your care. We talk about how you’ve been feeling, what’s changed, and what your priorities are as you navigate perimenopause or menopause.
We connect the dots. Symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, or sleep issues can overlap with thyroid imbalance, stress, or insulin resistance. More extended visits allow us to examine the whole picture, not just isolated symptoms.
We create a personalized roadmap. Together, we focus on the fundamentals that influence hormone balance, sleep, movement, nutrition, and stress, then layer in targeted treatments, including hormone therapy when appropriate.
When the clock isn’t dictating the visit, care becomes more collaborative and solutions become clearer.
What the First Month Looks Like
Menopause care isn’t one appointment; it’s a process. Here’s how I typically guide patients through their first month in the practice:
Week 1: The Deep-Dive Visit
We start with an extended visit to review your complete health history, symptoms, and current habits. I order comprehensive labs to uncover any underlying factors contributing to your experience.
Week 2: Results & Refinement
Once results are in, we meet again or connect through our secure patient portal to review the data together. We adjust your care plan based on findings, incorporating lifestyle adjustments and targeted treatments that align with your goals.
Week 3: Check-Ins Along the Way
Questions always come up, whether about supplements, HRT, or how to handle new symptoms. Through direct messaging, you can reach out at any time for clarity or reassurance between visits.
Week 4: A Personalized Reset
We revisit what’s working, what’s improving, and what needs tweaking. From there, your plan evolves with you, ensuring ongoing progress and confidence in your care.
This rhythm of attentive, ongoing communication is what sets concierge medicine apart; it’s designed for real life, not rushed schedules.
Evidence-Based Menopause Care You Can Trust
Menopause symptoms can manifest differently for each person. That’s why it’s important to work with a clinician who understands both the science and the nuance of this stage. As a Menopause Society-certified provider, I combine evidence-based guidance with personalized care to support women through menopause.
When hormone therapy is appropriate, we carefully consider your overall health, risk factors, and personal preferences.
For many women with bothersome hot flashes and healthy cardiovascular profiles, transdermal estradiol paired with progesterone can provide relief and long-term benefits.
For those who prefer non-hormonal options, treatments such as low-dose antidepressants for hot flashes or local therapies for vaginal comfort can be equally effective.
There’s no single “right” path through menopause, only the one that works best for you.
The Concierge Difference: Access and Continuity
Many of my patients say the most valuable part of concierge care isn’t the longer appointment, it’s what happens between them. Instead of waiting months for follow-ups or struggling to get questions answered, you have ongoing access through secure messaging and same- or next-day visits when needed.
This constant communication prevents the stop-and-start cycle common in traditional care. You don’t have to wait weeks to tweak your plan or clarify a side effect. Together, we make timely, thoughtful adjustments that keep you moving forward.
Rethinking What Menopause Care Can Be
Menopause care should be personal, calm, and rooted in trust, rather than rushed or transactional. At Lindsey Cassidy, MD & Associates, time is the most powerful diagnostic tool we have.
By giving this season of life the attention it deserves, we can replace uncertainty with understanding and help you feel like yourself again.
