Women's Hormone Therapy with psychiatric overlap, not a spa menu

Cooper City FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
Is Cooper City close to your office?
Very close — our Hollywood office at 7603 Davie Road Extension is about 10 minutes from Cooper City via Stirling Road or Griffin Road.
Do you work with families?
Yes. We provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults, and can coordinate care with family therapists for a comprehensive approach.

In-office versus Florida telehealth

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.
