Davie FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
How far are you from NSU?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 10 minutes from Nova Southeastern University's main campus, making us a convenient option for students seeking psychiatric care.
Do you treat college students from Davie?
Absolutely. We work with many college-age patients on ADHD management, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders common in academic settings.

Progesterone made you depressed and nobody changed the regimen.
