Sleep, vasomotor symptoms, and mood as one timeline
Thyroid disorders mimic perimenopause. TSH with free T4 is not optional when the story fits.
Women's Hormone Therapy for Weston patients
Affordable estrogen URLs are retained; not a discount promise.
Perimenopause HRT decisions require a history of cycles, vasomotor symptoms, and psychiatric syndromes.
Clinical FAQ
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Can HRT replace my antidepressant?
Sometimes mood improves when sleep and vasomotor symptoms improve. Sometimes you still need a psychotropic. We do not promise a swap.
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 you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
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.

Questions about insurance, labs, or whether Women's Hormone Therapy can be done by video: call (888) 307-2199 before you book so the visit type matches the clinical need.
