A physician who treats menopause. Not a portal that dodges it.
Menopause and perimenopause care for women across the East Bay: a real evaluation, FDA-approved treatment when it is right, and one physician who answers you directly. In person by appointment and by telemedicine, from Walnut Creek and Lamorinda to Danville and San Ramon.

Reserve your spotThe gap every woman over 45 knows.
Your gynecologist is focused on screenings and procedures. Your primary care doctor is watching the clock with a full waiting room. Many telehealth apps will sell you a subscription with little more than an intake form. Somewhere between them, your hormones became nobody's job.
That gap is what this practice exists to close: one physician who takes the history, orders the right labs, prescribes when it is right, and stays with you while the dose is tuned.
Menopause care, plainly.
No pellets, no compounded creams, no promises about turning back time. An evaluation of your symptoms, history, and risks, and FDA-approved treatment when it is right for you.
What menopause care includes here
- An unhurried evaluation of symptoms, history, and risks
- FDA-approved estradiol by patch, gel, or pill; micronized progesterone when you have a uterus
- Labs coordinated and read with you
- Dose titration and direct messaging with Dr. Sharma
- Perimenopause care, not just menopause care
Menopause care is part of the Metabolic & Hormone Membership: $199 a month at the founding rate for the first 10 members, and the rate rises after. Medication is billed separately at your pharmacy and is typically inexpensive.
Menopause questions, answered.
Does hormone therapy still carry a black-box warning?
For most systemic menopause hormone therapies, no. In 2026 the FDA moved to remove the boxed warnings for cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and probable dementia. An endometrial-cancer warning remains for systemic estrogen taken without progesterone by women with a uterus.
Is hormone therapy safe for me?
For many women with moderate to severe symptoms who start within about ten years of menopause, the evidence supports treatment after an individual evaluation. Certain histories, including breast cancer, blood clots, and stroke, change or end that conversation. Not everyone is a candidate, and results vary; that is what the evaluation is for.
Do I stop seeing my gynecologist?
No. Your gynecologist continues your screenings and gynecologic care. Dr. Sharma manages the hormonal side: evaluation, prescribing, labs, and follow-up, coordinated with your other physicians.
What does menopause care cost?
It is included in the Metabolic & Hormone Membership at $199 a month at the founding rate (first 10 members; the rate rises after). New patients begin with a $149 initial evaluation, credited toward your first month if you enroll. The membership covers ongoing medical management; medication is billed separately at your pharmacy. There is no initiation fee.
