Meet Dr. Mendoza
Dr. Jordan Mendoza is a Board-Certified OB/GYN, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, and Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health (ISSWSH). With over a decade of experience, she is passionate about guiding women through perimenopause, menopause, and midlife with clarity, honesty, and compassion. Patients know her for her unrushed visits, evidence-based approach, and genuine investment in their wellbeing.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Mendoza is a Colorado native, Swiftie, and Denver Nuggets fan. She’s also a chauffeur to her three daughters — a middle schooler, fourth grader, and preschooler — juggling the joyful chaos and mental load of midlife right alongside her patients. She loves camping, board games, and life with her husband of over 15 years, and on the rare occasion that their busy schedules align, she sneaks in time with her two sisters and best friends.
My Story
From delivering babies to delivering clarity in midlife care
I grew up in Aurora, Colorado, in a family where strong women shaped my values — my mom, aunt, grandmothers, and two sisters (now my best friends). They continue to inspire how I raise my three daughters and how I care for the women I serve today. After earning my undergraduate degree in biochemistry and medical degree at the University of Colorado, I completed my residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the Anschutz Health Sciences Center.
“In a system built for speed, not depth, women deserve better”
For more than a decade, I worked as a generalist OB/GYN in a large health system. While I loved my patients, I quickly realized how unprepared my training had left me for the complexity of menopause and sexual health. Early on, I often dreaded hormone consults — not because I didn’t care, but because I didn’t have the tools or the time. In a system that demanded I rush through 18–20 patients a day, visits about menopause and midlife health felt nearly impossible to do well.
Over time, through mentorship, additional training, and my own experiences of midlife changes, I grew passionate about this work. I invested hundreds of hours into specialized education in menopause, perimenopause, and women’s sexual health. Today, instead of dread, I feel excitement when a woman books a hormone consult — because I know I can finally give her the answers and options she deserves.
“Like so many of my patients, I’m juggling the joyful chaos and mental load of midlife too.”
Why I Created Elevated Menopause Care & Direct Gynecology
Like many physicians, I felt the frustration of trying to deliver complex care in a system built for speed, not depth. Women deserve better. Inspired by my husband, Dr. Ben Mendoza, who opened Elevated Direct Primary Care in February 2025 to provide patient-centered internal medicine outside the insurance model, I chose to do the same for women’s health.
At Elevated Menopause Care and Direct Gynecology, I get to do what most “menopause clinics” can’t: combine deep expertise in perimenopause and menopause with comprehensive gynecologic care. That means if you need a pap smear, IUD, contraception, an endometrial biopsy, or even a polypectomy in the middle of your hormone therapy journey, you don’t get bounced back to a rushed OB/GYN’s office that’s hard to access. I can manage it all in one place, with the same thoughtful, evidence-based approach.

And it’s not just for women in midlife. If you’re struggling with PCOS, PMDD, PMS, or abnormal bleeding and you’re tired of trying to navigate our broken healthcare system, I’m your person.
What I offer
Elevated Menopause Care & Direct Gynecology, I bring together two things most practices can’t: deep expertise in menopause and perimenopause and full-spectrum gynecologic care. That means whether you need hormone therapy, help with PCOS or PMDD, a pap smear, contraception, or even an endometrial biopsy or polypectomy, you don’t have to be shuffled between providers.
Here, you’ll find evidence-based care, unrushed visits, and one doctor who can manage the full picture of your midlife health.
