Perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms with psychiatric comorbidity.
Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
Is brain fog always menopause?
No. Sleep, ADHD, depression, B12, and thyroid are on the list.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
Do you evaluate menopause-related mood changes?
Yes. Many Coconut Creek patients come to us specifically for the intersection of hormonal changes and mood disorders. We offer comprehensive hormone panels alongside psychiatric evaluation.
How do I get to your office from Coconut Creek?
Our Hollywood office is about 25-30 minutes via 441 or the Turnpike. First evaluations are in-person; many follow-up med checks can be done via telehealth.
Monitoring and safety in Women's Hormone Therapy
Bleeding on HRT = GYN, not 'watch forever.'
BP check.
Refer DEXA when premature estrogen loss.

Book Women's Hormone Therapy
After Women's Hormone Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Women's Hormone Therapy, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
