Clinical FAQ
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.
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.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Is brain fog always menopause?
No. Sleep, ADHD, depression, B12, and thyroid are on the list.

In-office versus Florida telehealth
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Women's Hormone Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
ZIP 33023 is the lead postal code listed for Pembroke Pines. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Do not start estrogen and a new antidepressant on the same day without a reason.
Shared decision: HRT, psychotropic, both, or neither.
Next step

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. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
