Pembroke Pines FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
Is brain fog always menopause?
No. Sleep, ADHD, depression, B12, and thyroid are on the list.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
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.
How Women's Hormone Therapy is structured
Refer to emergency care for postpartum psychosis or severe SI.
Stop or change a hormone if mood destabilizes and the timeline fits.
Map the menstrual, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopausal timeline onto the mood timeline.

Credentials and method
Functional labs (TSH with free T4/T3, ferritin, vitamin D, sex hormones, hs-CRP) are ordered when the history for Women's Hormone Therapy suggests a medical contributor. Normal labs do not rule out a DSM-5-TR diagnosis.
Florida telehealth for Women's Hormone Therapy requires the patient to be physically in Florida at the time of the visit. Crossing a state line mid-treatment can pause prescribing until licensure allows.
Hormone-informed psychiatry means estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol are considered when the history for Women's Hormone Therapy points there — not as a default panel on every patient.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Pregnancy test when relevant before hormones.
Emergency precautions for chest pain/neuro deficits on estrogen.
Mood scales at baseline and follow-up.
Bipolar screen before unopposed-feeling antidepressant plans.
What we rule in — and rule out
Women's Hormone Therapy still requires a visit.
Postpartum mood or anxiety needing medical evaluation.
Not indicated to treat breast cancer.
Not indicated when VTE or estrogen-sensitive cancer history blocks estrogen without oncology input.
Next step
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Women's Hormone Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
Request a Women's Hormone Therapy visit by calling (888) 307-2199 or using the booking form. Bring current medications, prior labs, and a list of what has already been tried.
