About Midlife Midwife MKE

What is Midlife Midwife MKE?

Midlife Midwife MKE is a women's health practice at 3970 N Oakland Avenue, Suite 703, in Shorewood, Wisconsin. Its main focus is perimenopause, menopause, gynecological, and sexual health. It serves women seeking perimenopause or menopause care in Milwaukee and is now accepting new patients. Its two prescribers are Dr. Alyson Lippman, a certified nurse midwife and advanced practice nurse prescriber with a Doctor of Nursing Practice and a Certified Menopause Practitioner credential from The Menopause Society, and Jen Konrad, MSN, APNP, FNP-BC, AGCNS-BC. Dr. Lippman has over twenty years of experience in women's healthcare. The practice has a 5 rating on Google from 3 reviews.

The practice lists three service areas: Gynecological Health, Menopause Management, and Integrative Care. Under treatments it names menopause hormone therapy (MHT/HRT), weight loss medications, prescription medications, supplement management, and lifestyle changes and support. It also offers Well-Woman annual exams, lab work, Pap tests and STI testing, and contraception. Referrals go to outside therapies such as acupuncture, physical therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy, and it works with INTERWOVXN for acupuncture and herbal therapy. In its own words: "direct access to hormone therapy (HRT/MHT) medication, supplements, and a network of health experts."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance, whether a fee includes medication, or whether it offers telehealth visits. Ask about each of these before you book, and ask for the cost of a first visit in writing.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber you will see, and whether Dr. Lippman or Jen Konrad would manage your prescriptions. If you are considering weight loss medication, ask which one the clinic prescribes, since the clinic does not name one. Ask whether the price includes the medication itself, and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, whether follow-ups can be done by video, and what the clinic's hours are, because it does not list them. Ask whether the practice bills insurance or works entirely on cash pay. Finally, ask how you cancel or stop care and whether any membership or prepaid plan requires notice.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are in perimenopause or menopause, want a prescriber who focuses on that stage of life, and are ready to pay out of pocket for visits and medication. If you need a primary care doctor for other health concerns, confirm what the clinic covers first, since the clinic describes its primary care as limited.
