What is Involved in Starting Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
You will fill out a brief medical history and a symptoms questionnaire when you have your lab work done. If you live out of town we can arrange for your labs to be drawn at a location near you.
As early as 2 days after your lab work, we can see you for your initial consultation. We will discuss your symptoms, history, lifestyle and goals and also review the results from your blood work. From this information, we will make recommendations for a a course of treatment.
Follow Up Appointments:
We require that you have a follow up appointment every 3 months during the first year of treatment. This is to ensure that your hormone levels are at the correct level and to ensure that your treatment is optimal for you. Prior to each follow up appointment you will be required to have your labs completed.
Pharmacy:
If you choose our prescription pill, cream or pellet options please know that we have undergone a rigorous selection process for the compounding pharmacy that we utilize. For pellet therapy, our physicians are are able to tailor the dosage to you symptoms. This helps to minimize side effects. Pellets are tiny, similar to a grain of rice, that are placed under your skin and dissolve. They typically give symptom relief for 3-4 months and can then be replaced.
