Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
Is this anti-aging?
No.
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
How close is Hallandale Beach to your office?
Our Hollywood office is only about 10 minutes from Hallandale Beach via US-1 or I-95. We're very convenient for Hallandale residents.
Do you work with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds?
