Pembroke Pines FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Is brain fog always menopause?
No. Sleep, ADHD, depression, B12, and thyroid are on the list.
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
How close is the office?
About 12 minutes from Pembroke Pines.
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 are you to Pembroke Pines?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 10 minutes from central Pembroke Pines via Pines Boulevard or Sheridan Street. We also offer telehealth for maximum convenience.
Do you serve Century Village Pembroke Pines?
Yes, we serve many patients from Century Village and specialize in age-related mood changes, medication management for seniors, and hormone therapy.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness.
