Research
Later Spring holds 7,390 practitioner listings compiled from two public professional registers. These reports count what is in that dataset. Every figure is computed directly from the listings, and every report states what it cannot measure.
How these numbers are produced
Each figure is counted by code from the listing data at build time, not estimated and not quoted from a third party. That has two consequences worth knowing. First, a number shown in a report cannot drift out of step with the same number shown elsewhere on the site, because both read the same computed value. Second, every figure measures listed practitioners rather than all practitioners: a clinician who treats (peri)menopause without joining either professional register is invisible to this dataset. Read the totals as a floor, not a census.
Fields such as declared areas of expertise and telehealth availability are self-reported by practitioners and are not independently verified. Where a report draws a conclusion that the data cannot fully support, it says so in the report rather than in a footnote.
How this site is made →How many midlife women share one certified menopause practitioner

Read the report →Where the listed US menopause specialists actually are
Five states hold 33% of every US listing. Which states are thinnest, and what to do if yours is one of them.
Read the report →Who actually treats menopause?
Only 66% of listed practitioners are physicians. The rest are nurse practitioners, midwives, pharmacists and others.
Read the report →Telehealth is now the default option
60% of listed practitioners see patients by video, but state licensing still decides who you can actually book.
