Plantation FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
Is this anti-aging?
No.
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
How close is the office?
About 18 minutes from Plantation.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
How long is the drive from Plantation?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 15-20 minutes from Plantation via 595 or Broward Boulevard. Telehealth is also available for follow-up appointments.
Do you take a functional approach to psychiatry?
Yes. Beyond traditional medication management, we investigate root causes including hormone levels, thyroid function, and nutritional deficiencies — an approach Plantation patients particularly value.
What we rule in — and rule out
Premature hypoestrogenism needing specialist collaboration.
Not indicated as sole treatment of bipolar I mania.
SSRI sexual dysfunction plus a hormone question.
Perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms with psychiatric comorbidity.

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.
