Menopause Specialist
Menopause Care That Listens, Explains, and Actually Helps
Physician-led, evidence-based menopause and hormone care from a certified specialist in Frankfort, Illinois
Perimenopause and menopause bring real, often disruptive changes — hot flashes, sleepless nights, brain fog, mood shifts, weight gain, and more. Too often these symptoms are dismissed or rushed through in a seven-minute visit. At Sina Medical Direct Primary Care, menopause care is different: unhurried, root-cause focused, and led by a physician who has the training and the time to get it right.
Dr. Syeda Farheen Ali, MD is triple board-certified in Internal Medicine, Obesity Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine, and holds certification in menopause and women's hormone therapy. She personally reviews your history, symptoms, and labs, then builds a plan tailored to your body and your goals — whether that includes hormone therapy, lifestyle medicine, or both.
- Same-Day & Next-Day Visits
- No Copays, No Insurance Hassle
- Triple Board-Certified Physician
As a member, you get direct access to Dr. Ali for one flat $89/month fee — no copays, no insurance hassles, and no surprise bills. Same-day and next-day appointments, secure telemedicine across Illinois, and wholesale-price labs and medications make expert menopause care straightforward and affordable.

How Menopause Care Works at Sina Medical Direct Primary Care
Comprehensive Consultation
Your first visit is unhurried and centered on you. Dr. Ali reviews your full health history, maps your symptoms, and discusses your goals and concerns in plain language.
Advanced Lab Testing
Based on your presentation, Dr. Ali orders targeted labs — hormone panels (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), thyroid function, and relevant metabolic and nutrient markers — at wholesale member pricing.
A Personalized Plan
Together you build a plan that may include hormone therapy, lifestyle medicine, nutrition, and supplements — always matched to your body, your history, and the latest evidence.
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment
Menopause care is not one-and-done. Dr. Ali monitors your response, fine-tunes your treatment, and stays reachable by text, call, or telehealth whenever questions come up.

Meet Dr. Ali
Dr. Syeda Farheen Ali, MD is triple board-certified in Internal Medicine, Obesity Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine, with additional certification in menopause and women's hormone therapy. This uncommon combination lets her connect the dots between hormones, metabolism, weight, sleep, mood, and long-term health — rather than treating each symptom in isolation.
Her approach is evidence-based and root-cause focused. Instead of masking symptoms, she works to understand what is actually happening in your body, then partners with you on a plan that reflects both current medical guidelines and your personal preferences and goals.
Through the direct primary care model, Dr. Ali has the time menopause care truly requires. You are never rushed, never passed between providers, and always able to reach the physician who knows your story.
Why Menopause Care Deserves More Time
The average primary care visit leaves little room for a nuanced conversation about hormones, risk factors, and treatment trade-offs. As a result, many women spend years cycling through symptoms without a clear plan — or are told their labs are normal even as they feel anything but.
Direct primary care removes those constraints. With a flat monthly membership and no insurance in the middle, Dr. Ali can spend the time needed to evaluate you thoroughly, explain your options, and adjust your care as your body changes. This is menopause care built around you, not around a billing code.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be in menopause to book a visit?
No. Dr. Ali cares for women across the full transition, including perimenopause — the years leading up to menopause when symptoms often begin. If your cycle, sleep, mood, energy, or weight are changing, it is worth a conversation.
Is hormone therapy right for me?
Hormone therapy can be highly effective for many women, but it is not one-size-fits-all. Dr. Ali reviews your history, symptoms, and risk factors, then discusses whether hormone therapy, lifestyle approaches, or a combination best fits your situation.
What does membership cost, and are labs included?
Membership is a flat $89 per month with no copays or insurance billing. Visits are unlimited, and labs and medications are offered at wholesale member pricing — so testing and prescriptions cost far less than typical retail rates.
Can I be seen by telemedicine?
Yes. Sina Medical Direct Primary Care serves all of Illinois through secure telemedicine, and many menopause visits — especially follow-ups and dose adjustments — can be handled from home. In-person visits are available at the Frankfort office.
Is the membership HSA-eligible?
Yes. As of January 1, 2026, direct primary care memberships are HSA-eligible under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, so you can use HSA funds toward your monthly membership.
How quickly can I be seen?
Members typically get same-day or next-day appointments, plus direct text and call access to Dr. Ali between visits — so you are not waiting weeks to address symptoms that affect your daily life.
