Clinical FAQ
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
Can this be telehealth?
Counseling and some follow-up, if you are in Florida. Procedures and some exams cannot.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Can I do all appointments via telehealth?
After an initial evaluation (which we recommend in-person for the most thorough assessment), most follow-up appointments can be conducted via our secure telehealth platform.
How do you ensure privacy?
All appointments and records are HIPAA-compliant. Telehealth sessions use encrypted video, and we never share patient information without explicit consent.
