Midlife care is uniquely suited to telehealth, because what women require at this stage, more than anything, is in-depth conversation with a clinician who has the time to listen to her experience and explore personalized solutions. In-person exams reveal very little that you can’t tell us yourself. In fact, after age 45, the only routine in-person Ob/Gyn care you need is a Pap smear, and for most women, it’s recommended every five years, not annually. We order any labs or screening needed to inform and guide your treatment. While we encourage you to keep up your relationships with your regular doctors (and we will refer you to one if necessary), we think our virtual care is the key to strong support at midlife. Here’s why:
- Expertise: Specialists in perimenopause, menopause, and other areas of women’s midlife health are in short supply. Most have long waiting lists. Midi gives you access to expert guidance immediately.
- Convenience: Telehealth allows you to connect with a Midi clinician from anywhere, with no travel time or sitting in a waiting room. Our care coordinators send you to local labs and imaging centers to make the testing you need easy.
- Comfort: Virtual visits from your own private space help you to feel relaxed so you can better connect with your clinician.
- Communication: Our digital platform supports messaging that lets you reach us anytime, and get a prompt response.
- Frequent check-ins: The ease of virtual visits allows us to stay in touch with you, scheduling check-ins throughout the year instead of annually, to track your progress and get ahead of any new symptoms. That approach helps you stay healthy and well through this chapter of change.
