Fort Lauderdale FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
Can this be telehealth?
Counseling and some follow-up, if you are in Florida. Procedures and some exams cannot.
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
Do you serve downtown Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. Our Hollywood office is about 20 minutes from downtown Fort Lauderdale, and we offer telehealth appointments for busy downtown professionals.
Can you help with work-related anxiety and burnout?
Absolutely. We see many Fort Lauderdale professionals dealing with workplace stress, burnout, and performance anxiety. Our evaluations identify root causes and create targeted treatment plans.
