I joined Meno Start about five months ago, and it has been a steady, meaningful addition to my life…read moreat exactly the right time. I feel like I am finally fitting into a group that is positive for me, especially during moments when I've felt close to my lowest throughout the last several years. Every Tuesday from 6 to 7 p.m., we exercise as a group -- we train, we laugh, and I am genuinely impressed to see Dr. Cothran enthusiastically performing the moves right alongside us. In late spring, Dr. Cothran and Coach Dulany hosted a community hike, which was such a highlight that I later took my family back to experience the same trail. The Meno Start program allows for two nights a week of 1:1 training with Coach Dulany, an amazing personal trainer and person. Thanks to his guidance, I performed better on my Navy Physical Readiness Test just a couple of days ago. The times available to meet with Coach are accommodating, and the beautiful place we work out has great scenery and excellent equipment. The suite is tastefully decorated. Dr. Cothran has an examination room, and a comfortable lounge for my 12‑year‑old who sometimes needs to accompany me to workout sessions. The women I've met are personable, kind, and warm. Women are busy at this stage of life, and we certainly can't afford to "Pause." Our careers, hobbies, and family situations are going to continue, and therefore I had to "Start" feeling better during this milestone. This community understands that. I also find the package -- personal training, access to an OBGYN, the location, and the community -- to be refreshing, convenient, and affordable. Dr. Cothran is passionate about women's health, and Coach Dulany values fitness, nutrition, and quality of life. I am really thankful, and I never cease to feel surprisingly blessed to be a part of the Meno Start Community. I am growing confidence and strengthening my body simultaneously. One lady in the program said something that has stayed with me: "I don't want to shrink." That's a great goal and applies to me mentally and physically. Thank you.

I have been a patient at Meno-Start since Dr. Shannon Cothran opened her incredible practice, and…read moreit has been life-changing. Meno-Start is a concierge practice focused on women navigating perimenopause and menopause, providing expert, personalized care during this transformative stage of life. Dr. Cothran is warm, compassionate, and exceptionally skilled. We are fellow JMHS Warhawks and she is also a UVA graduate, she is a board-certified gynecologist with over 15 years of private practice experience and extensive training in menopause care.

Their concierge services have replaced my patchwork of specialists, streamlined my care, and saved me over $4,000 this year alone. Especially when I factor in the cost of my time going to many different appointments. So, you all know I do not recommend anything but the best of the best...Shannon is the Diet Coke of middle-aged women holistic care! Dr. Cothran's expertise and the support of her team give me confidence in my health now and for the future. I could not be more grateful to have found her!

My Myofascial counter strain doc recommended this place based on reviews from other patients. I'm…read moreso glad she did! The experience was exceptional. I finally felt heard. The team did a really in depth review of my labs and laid out a plan for the next few months. When I said I didn't want to be medicated and wanted to try supplements and other methods to improve my numbers, they trusted me to take an active role in my health, something a lot of medical practices don't do these days. I really appreciated that. The one downside is that they don't take insurance so you do have to pay upfront for the appointment. I just filed my claim and I'm waiting to see how much of this insurance will cover.

She also got me on an IC-friendly diet, and a couple good supplements. She regularly tested for and treated UTIs with all kinds of funky bacteria. And she prescribed both Cromolyn and Enteragam for GI issues that often accompany IC. Perhaps most helpfully, she was always interested in what was going on with the rest of my body. She raised many questions (anemia, MTFHR, etc) that were helpful in pointing my other providers to issues that needed addressing.

The situation was for about 5 acupuncture services. She had me pay full price and it took 3 months of me asking for a super bill to claim the service.

My insurance company reimbursed her for the 5 sessions- she was paid twice for the services- once by me and once by my insurance company.

Dear Dr. Rami Tabbarah…read more I sincerely want to thank you for saving my life through your care and successful surgery. During this difficult time, my family and I experienced doubt, trauma, uncertainty, and confusion, but your professionalism, skill, and dedication gave us hope and strength.

I CANNOT recommend Dr. Montesharrei enough to anyone. 12/10 stars, if possible!…read more As you know, finding a medical provider, especially a specialty provider like an OB, can be uncomfortable and quite nerve-wracking. (For context, I am someone who lives in San Francisco year round for the past 12 years and has little to no ties with anyone besides family in the DMV). As a new patient, client, etc, you want to feel welcomed into the practice. As the provider/office of the provider, from the first call, you want to start building that trust and relationship ASAP (which is great human kindness AND business development practice). I had been emailing and calling around due to some severed side effects due to a hormonal IUD insertion (it's not for everyone, and that's okay), and felt very panicked and disheartened that I couldn't schedule anything for the week with any other provider I had called. When Dr. Montesharrei's receptionist picked up, she was warm and told me the doctor does have openings for new patients even the day of!! This was mentally and physically life-saving to me, I near cried after having called into offices where they were less warm and told me that things were different and would take longer because I am a new patient. I happily booked an appointment for the next day through coordination with the receptionist on the phone and with their online system via ZocDoc. The friendly receptionist got the appointment confirmed in the duration of 10 minutes and guided me to their new patient form on their website to fill out prior to arrival. The office was very clean and chic, not too busy on a Tuesday afternoon. Check in and arrival went smoothly, and I was greeted by yet another friend staff member (different from the receptionist I had spoken to on the phone the prior day). I had forgotten to fill out the medical history page on the back side of my print out and was gently reminded to do that as the receptionist took down my insurance information. Despite being an Out of Network office, I appreciate that the staff there file a courtesy claim with your insurance anyways. In terms of COVID protocols, hand sanitizers everywhere, and a medical assistant takes your temperature before you are taken to an examination room in the back. Cathy my medical assistant was also very kind and showed sympathy for my terrible side effects with my IUD as she took down my vitals and triaged me. Cathy gave me an ibuprofen to take for the quick IUD removal procedure I wanted to get the day of. After Cathy came and went with my comprehensive triage, Dr. Montesharrei herself came in a minute later, warmly introduced herself and we chatted about casual things for about 5-10 minutes to wait for what I suspect was for the ibuprofen to kick in. I won't lie, I had not had an MD give me the time of day to hear about where I've come from like an old friend, talk deeply about my concerns with the hormonal changes and pain from the IUD from the doctor herself. Dr. Montesharrei didn't just review triage notes a minute before coming in, she came in and listened to everything else I had said to Cathy and more, as the provider at this gyn office. Most providers take down the important notes and rush you in and out, but you were actually a human to Dr. Montesharrei, just a human who happened to need her help medically. Everything moved very quickly from then, though there were nice little minute breaks in between visits, overall the appointment upon arrival for registering as a new patient, triaging, urine sample, consultation with Dr. Montesharrei, the actual IUD removal (mine was probably just a few seconds, very quick and painless, speculum was uncomfortable per usual), blood workup took about an hour. Again, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Montesharrei to anyone who is new or old to the DMV, she is by far one of the only MD providers I've ever come across who expresses such concern, care, and is not biased against taking new patients! The doctor and entire staff are so sympathetic and friendly, I had a great experience even though I went in worried and low-key terrified.
