Clinical FAQ
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
How close is the office?
About 22 minutes from Oakland Park.
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Do you treat anxiety related to life transitions?
Yes. Life transitions — career changes, relocations, relationship shifts — are common triggers for anxiety and depression. Our evaluations assess these factors and create targeted treatment plans.
How far is Oakland Park from your office?
Our Hollywood office is about 20 minutes from Oakland Park. Telehealth appointments are also available for follow-up medication management visits.
How Women's Hormone Therapy is structured
Reassess at a short interval because perimenopause is not a static lab value.
Write the plan so the patient can repeat the risks.
Document lactation plans.
Stop or change a hormone if mood destabilizes and the timeline fits.
