About Women's Specialty

What is Women's Specialty?

Women's Specialty is an obstetrics and gynecology practice at 722 Medical Center Drive East, Suite 101, in Clovis, California. Its main work is women's health: pregnancy care, annual exams, gynecologic surgery, birth control and infertility evaluation. Hormone therapy is one part of that work, listed under menopausal treatment. In its own words: "Support for a balanced and healthy life through menopause and aging including bio identical hormone replacement therapy."

The practice was founded in 1993 on the Clovis Community Hospital campus. Its founder, Dr. Dan Dorough, retired in September 2024. The people who prescribe there are Dr. David Dorough, board certified by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Lorenzo Lopez, who is board certified, Dr. Kristin Kroeker, Lauren Mangold, a Certified Nurse Midwife, and Nisha Nair, a Certified Nurse Practitioner. Staff speak Spanish and Hmong. Google lists the practice at 3.5 stars from 11 reviews. The office does not name weight loss, peptide or longevity services.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, for visits, hormone therapy or anything else. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance, or whether a monthly fee would cover the medication. Ask for the cost of the first visit and each follow-up before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the prescription. Ask which hormone the office would prescribe, whether it is an FDA approved product or a compounded preparation, and which pharmacy fills it. The practice names bioidentical hormone therapy but does not explain what it involves, so ask what it would look like in your case.

Then ask who writes and manages the prescription and the follow-up care, and whether a physician or the nurse practitioner handles it. Ask which lab work is included and what it costs, and whether telehealth is available. Ask whether the office bills insurance for these visits. No hours are listed, so ask those too, by calling (559) 297-9500. Finally, ask how to stop or cancel, and whether any fee applies.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want OB/GYN care in Clovis that also covers menopause and hormone therapy, and you are ready to ask about the prescription, the lab work and the total cost before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you are looking for weight loss, peptide or longevity medicine, which the office does not name.
