Access from Plantation
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.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Plantation patients who drive 18 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Plantation (Broward County) has about 92,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 18 minutes from Westfield Broward and the University Drive medical corridor.
You were told you are 'too young' for perimenopause while cycles, sleep, and rage clustered luteally.
How Women's Hormone Therapy is structured
Map the menstrual, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopausal timeline onto the mood timeline.
Reassess at a short interval because perimenopause is not a static lab value.
Shared decision: HRT, psychotropic, both, or neither.
Do not start estrogen and a new antidepressant on the same day without a reason.
Clinical FAQ
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
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.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Pregnancy test when relevant before hormones.
Refer DEXA when premature estrogen loss.
TSH with free T4.
Informed consent stored.
DSM-5-TR framing for women's HRT
Postpartum mood or anxiety needing medical evaluation.
Patients who want a second opinion on a pellet clinic plan.

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.
