Become A Patient
At Hormone Wellness MD we aim to restore the doctor patient relationship. We understand that health isn’t achieved with a stack of prescriptions, but with healthy communities, movement, nutrition and self care. We want to hear your story and partner with you to nurture vitality and create wellness in your life.
Start Your Journey Back To Health
Our mission is to empower women to reimagine what is possible for their health. Whether you are looking to restore balance with PCOS, navigate the transition to menopause with confidence, or optimize your overall well-being, we are here to guide and support you every step of the way. Our practice is a unique blend of Functional Medicine and women’s healthcare. Rather than simply managing symptoms, we take a comprehensive approach to uncover and address the root causes of health concerns. By combining advanced testing, personalized treatment plans, and evidence-based care, we help women achieve lasting improvements in their health and quality of life.
Choosing the right healthcare provider is an important decision. Expertise matters, but so does finding a space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable discussing your health concerns.
We believe meaningful healing begins with a strong patient-provider relationship built on trust, education, and collaboration.
Have you ever left a doctor’s appointment feeling unsure of what was discussed or struggled to explain the plan to your family afterward? You’re not alone. That’s why we’ve designed our practice to provide support beyond the exam room. We offer educational handouts, video resources, and personalized guidance to help you fully understand your health and feel confident in your care plan between visits.
In addition, our membership program provides access to a community of like-minded women who are committed to improving their health. Through ongoing support, education, encouragement, and connection, you’ll have the resources you need to stay motivated and empowered throughout your wellness journey. We invite you to learn more about becoming a patient and discover how our team can help you take the next step toward optimizing your health.

Dr. Polly Watson
I’m a board certified gynecologist with over 20 years of experience focusing on menopausal medicine and sexual health. I received my certification through the Institute for Functional Medicine in 2019 and am a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner.
My mission is to help midlife women reframe their understanding of aging and to use the menopause transition as a catalyst to achieve optimal health.
Kate Willis, NP-C
I am a nurse practitioner for Hormone Wellness MD. I’ve been working in women’s health for 15 years in the field of gynecologic oncology and sexual wellness.
In 2021, I received my certification through the Institute for Functional Medicine, and am thankful for such solid and evidence-based training. I use it daily in my care for patients as we work together to address the root cause of disease and dysfunction in the body. I am also a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which provider is right for me?
That depends on your needs and preferences. Both Kate Willis, NP and Dr. Polly Watson are certified through the Institute for Functional Medicine and the Menopause Society, and both specialize in women’s midlife and menopause care.
Can your office perform my annual exams?
- Dr. Watson can perform pelvic exams, Pap smears, and breast exams.
- Kate Willis does not perform any physical exams. You’ll need to maintain a gynecologist or PCP for annual wellness exams.
Note: Many patients choose to maintain a regular gynecologist to use their insurance benefits for annual exams, which makes virtual care with Kate Willis a convenient addition to your current health team. If you receive exams from an external provider, we kindly ask that documentation of those visits be shared with us.

Menopause & Perimenopause
-
Hormone imbalance (PMS/PMDD, PCOS, thyroid disorders, low libido/sexual dysfunction, fatigue, estrogen metabolism, fibroids)

Is Membership a requirement? What is the cost?
Membership is not required prior to your first appointment. However, if you wish to continue care after your initial visit, you will need to enroll in membership. Our membership has been designed to provide materials to educate, encourage and engage our members in between appointments with providers. There are many benefits our joining membership, including a video library of over 100 lectures on common concerns voiced by our patients, which when watched ahead of time, can help you make the most of your appointment time. You can learn more about what is included in membership and pricing for appointments on our website.
Do you accept insurance?
Our office is out of network with all insurance providers. This is common among functional medicine practices, as the time-intensive, personalized care we provide often falls outside the limitations of standard insurance models. Being out of network allows our providers the flexibility to take a more comprehensive and individualized approach to your health, without the constraints of insurance-imposed time limits or treatment restrictions.
We will provide you with a detailed billing summary that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. However, we do not submit medical claims on your behalf and cannot assist with claim resolution. Additionally, we do not participate with Medicare.
