Contact UsWhat exactly is perimenopause and menopause?
When you go 12 months without having a period, you’ve officially entered menopause. The transition leading up to menopause is called perimenopause and can last from 5-7 years and is usually when bothersome symptoms start to occur.
Perimenopause for most women will start between the ages of 40 and 50, with the average age of menopause being 51.
What are some of the signs and symptoms of menopause?
Symptoms of perimenopause and menopause differ from one woman to the next and stem mostly from the drop of estrogen. Some women may experience no symptoms at all, while others may experience significant symptoms that interfere with their quality of life.

- Irregular periods and heavy bleeding
- Headaches
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Thinning of hair and dry skin
- Forgetfulness or “brain fog”
- Weight gain
- Vaginal dryness
- Joint aches and pains

Menopause Reviews
I saw Julie Jones after losing my former doctor in the pandemic. Julie is great! Great sense of humor and very kind, but extremely thorough and helpful. She reviewed my labs in detail with me - I've never had a doctor do that. She is treating my perimenopause with compassion and care. Love her! Office staff are all great as well, very kind and helpful.
