About Sarasota Menopause Specialist

What is Sarasota Menopause Specialist?

Sarasota Menopause Specialist is a menopause and women's hormone practice at 2831 Ringling Blvd Suite 218F, Sarasota, FL 34237. The only prescriber named is Jennifer Miller, APRN. She is a board-certified nurse practitioner and a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP), with over 25 years in healthcare and more than a decade focused on women's health. The practice has a Google rating of 5 from 25 reviews, and Google lists it as a medical group.

Visits are in person in Sarasota or by telehealth across Florida. The main services are bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, menopause consultations, and a metabolic health and weight loss program. The practice also lists nutrition and weight management, bone density (DXA) reading, care for osteopenia and osteoporosis, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, low libido support, lab testing, and genetic testing for breast, ovarian, uterine and colon cancer. In its own words: "Our menopause consultations provide expert guidance through menopause and perimenopause."

What does it cost?

Everything is cash pay, and the practice does not bill insurance. The Initial Visit (60 to 90 minutes) is $425. Follow-up visits (30 to 45 minutes) are $200. A problem visit that needs a prescription, such as for a UTI or vaginitis, is $100. The Foundational Care Package is $750 for women starting hormone replacement therapy. It includes a 60 to 75 minute initial consultation, two 30 to 45 minute follow-ups, and supportive communication for basic questions between visits. Cash, check, Venmo, Zelle and PayPal are accepted. Credit cards carry a 0.5% processing fee.

The metabolic health and weight loss program starts with a $350 initial consultation. That fee includes a medical evaluation, a personalized plan, nutrition, lifestyle and exercise coaching, and prescription management. Monthly follow-up is $85 and covers progress review, medication monitoring, dose adjustments, ongoing support and prescription refills. No price is listed for maintenance follow-up after a stable dose. The practice does not say whether medication is included in the weight loss price. It does not publish prices for DXA, genetic testing or lab work.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $85 monthly fee includes medication or whether it is billed separately. The practice does not name any weight loss medication, so ask which one, if any, would be used. Ask which hormone products would be prescribed, and whether they are brand-name or compounded.

Ask what lab work, bone density testing and genetic testing cost, and whether they are billed on top of the Foundational Care Package. Ask the price of maintenance follow-up. Ask how to cancel a monthly plan and whether there is a notice period. No office hours are listed, so ask when the office is open. Ask whether a telehealth visit costs the same as an in-person one.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want menopause or hormone care from a named nurse practitioner, you can pay cash, and you are willing to get the medication and lab costs in writing before you book. It is not a fit if you need insurance billing.
