Menopause care for women across Maine, at one South Portland office
Med Matrix has a single office: 198 Maine Mall Road, South Portland, ME 04106. There is no Med Matrix office in Bangor, Augusta, Lewiston or anywhere else in the state. Whether home is the County, the Midcoast, the western mountains or the Seacoast, care happens in that one building, and this site is written for you: what the care is, how the first visit works when home is a long way off, and what happens in the months between appointments.
Here, HRT means care for perimenopause and menopause. This site does not cover gender-affirming hormone therapy, which also goes by HRT. If that is what you are looking for, this is not the right resource.
What your first HRT visit includes
Onboarding is $1,500, a fixed price. It covers the 80+ biomarker blood panel, the InBody 770 body composition scan and the 60-minute provider consultation. In practice that means:
- A blood panel that reaches well past estrogen. The sex-hormone markers are estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, prolactin, DHEA-sulfate, total and free testosterone, and SHBG, drawn alongside a full thyroid panel, cortisol, metabolic and cardiac markers.
- In-depth questionnaires about your symptoms, cycle changes and health history, so the consultation can go straight to what matters to you.
- A full hour with a provider, who reads your results against ranges set for you, in light of your symptoms, rather than against a single population cutoff.
- A plan you leave with. Hormone therapy may or may not be part of it; that is a decision made with your provider, from your history and your results. More on perimenopause and menopause care.

Care that works from a distance
Labs are drawn in our office, or at a partner lab near you, so a recheck does not have to mean a day on the road. Follow-up visits are $275, and at each one your new numbers are compared with your own earlier results. Virtual visits are available only to established patients in Maine or New Hampshire. Once you are established, not every conversation needs the drive.
Between appointments you can reach the care team with questions, and the plan is adjusted when new results or symptoms warrant it.
Who leads women's hormone care
Women's hormone care at Med Matrix is led by Dr. Sasha Rose, ND, LAc, MSOM, and Sophia Viner, DNP, APRN, FMCP-M. The practice holds 4.8 stars across 190+ reviews on Google.
Questions about HRT in Maine
Does every Med Matrix visit happen in South Portland?

How does hormone therapy relate to bone health?
The National Library of Medicine says hormone therapy may help protect against osteoporosis. Your provider weighs that alongside your symptoms, your history and the risks of therapy. See what hormone therapy treats.
What are the risks of HRT?
Blood clots, stroke, heart attack and certain cancers are among the risks named in hormone therapy labeling, says the HHS Office on Women's Health. How much risk one woman carries depends on her age, health history, and the type, dose and form used. Read HRT options and safety.
Is hormone therapy right for me?
That is worked out with your provider, from your own history and lab results rather than a checklist. The first visit pairs a wide baseline panel with a full hour on your symptoms and history. Some plans include hormone therapy; some do not. See how the first visit works.
