Mariposa Menopause Specialists has opened in Madison as North Alabama’s first medical clinic focused exclusively on perimenopause and menopause care. Located at 1896 Slaughter Road, the clinic aims to help women better understand and manage changes during midlife.
The practice is led by Dr. Julie Grimes, an experienced women’s health physician who founded Mariposa to address gaps in menopause care.
Madison clinic focuses exclusively on perimenopause and menopause
Mariposa offers specialized care for women experiencing perimenopause and menopause. The clinic’s approach centers on listening to patients, understanding their symptoms and providing guidance based on their individual needs.
Dr. Grimes said she established the practice after seeing women struggle to get proper attention during this stage of life. She noted that many patients feel rushed through appointments or dismiss their symptoms as a normal part of aging.
Her goal is to create a place where women feel heard, understood and taken seriously.
Dr. Julie Grimes brings more than 24 years of women’s health experience
Dr. Grimes brings more than two decades of experience in women’s health to the practice. She is a board-certified OB-GYN and a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner.
Her credentials also include fellowship in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and membership in Alpha Omega Alpha, a national medical honor society.
The Menopause Society awarded her its MSCP credential after she passed its competency examination in menopause and midlife women’s health.
Through Mariposa, Dr. Grimes hopes to make menopause education and specialized care more accessible to women in North Alabama.
Mariposa aims to build a broader menopause support community
Beyond medical appointments, Mariposa plans to grow into a wider community resource. Its vision includes educational programs, events and resources for women and the people who support them.
The practice highlights the need for better awareness of menopause and its effects. It also aims to help women recognize that their symptoms are real and that treatment options exist.
Mariposa Menopause Specialists is located at 1896 Slaughter Road, Suite F, in Madison. The clinic is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
