Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
Can HRT replace my antidepressant?
Sometimes mood improves when sleep and vasomotor symptoms improve. Sometimes you still need a psychotropic. We do not promise a swap.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
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.
