Clinical FAQ
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
How close is the office?
About 24 minutes from Weston.
Is brain fog always menopause?
No. Sleep, ADHD, depression, B12, and thyroid are on the list.
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
Do you offer discreet telehealth for Weston patients?
Yes. Many Weston patients prefer our secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth option for appointments from the privacy of their home or office.
Can you help with executive performance and focus issues?
Absolutely. We specialize in ADHD evaluations, cognitive performance optimization, and medication management for adults who need to perform at a high level.

Pregnancy test when relevant before hormones.
