Catherine Hunter, DO is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and specializes in the care of menopausal patients. She partners with women to address symptoms of menopause such as disturbed sleep, difficulty with intercourse and macular degeneration issues. Dr. Hunter helps patients in this stage of life lessen the impact on cognitive function, bone health, cardiovascular health, pelvic floor support, sex drive and overall sense of well-being that can result from the body’s hormonal transition.

Dr. Hunter’s interest in medicine was sparked by her parents – her father was a physician, and her mother a nurse. If she didn’t pursue a career in heath care, she would have likely been a veterinarian or wildlife research since she has a deep connection to animals of all kind.

Services Dr. Hunter offers:

  • Review of the process of menopause and how it effects your body
  • Discuss symptoms that directly relate to hormonal changes and lack of estrogen
  • Summary of recommended therapies and screening tools
  • Develop a treatment plan to address and improve menopausal symptoms
  • Connection to a multi-disciplinary team of women’s health providers and comprehensive services

Practice Philosophy:

From the beginning of my practice, I recognized the lack of access to providers who have the time and expertise to understand menopause and educate patients about the associated symptoms. As a result, a large part of my career has been dedicated to in-depth education about all aspects of menopause. I believe patients should be in charge of their health and I share the facts so they can base decisions on the best information available.

    Dr. Hunter is one of the most thorough and knowledgeable physicians I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She took such a detailed and careful history and caught things that other providers have missed. She is extremely knowledgeable about menopause and women's health and explained things clearly and realistically. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any woman who needs knowledgeable care regarding menopause related health issues.

    Dr. Hunter is a game changer for me. She provided explanations and information about my current health journey, sharing the pros and cons of my current treatment as well as the same information about other options. I appreciate here direct style and clarity about things I may have looked into, on the web, but was uncomfortable trusting what I read. I have already shared her office contact information with a few other friends who, like me, are looking for post-menopausal options.

    After meeting Dr. Hunter, I quickly realized why two of my closest friends had recommended (and loved) her. I don't know that I've ever had a better/more positive experience with a physician in my entire life. Thank you for that gift, Dr. Hunter!

    Doctor was very thorough and knowledgeable, listened to me and told me ahead of time that if my information wasn't relevant she would more me on. She did so, and was efficient with our time. She was patient with multiple internet freezes, and we were able to conduct a productive appointment.
