How Can We Help?

Got Questions? We Have Answers.

  • What is Pellet Hormone Replacement Therapy?

    Pellet Hormone Therapy, or bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, is a medical procedure where small pellets of hormones bioidentical to those already in your body are inserted under the skin. These hormones help  regulate the amounts of, or replace, those that are occuring naturally in your body. This therapy helps correct hormonal imbalances and is customized to the patient's needs. 

  • Do you accept insurance?

    Because you and your health are our #1 priority, we do not work with insurance providers. Through our decades of experience, we unfortunately have found that insurance often dictates treatments and treatment options, and that often does not correlate with what is truly best for the health of the patient. By not accepting insurance, we are able to spend more time with you and less time on the phone with insurance providers, allowing us to charge LESS for our services and provide more personalized, thoughtful care to you.

  • Do you do labwork?

    We do! 

  • What will my first appointment be like?

    At your first appointment, our Nurse Practitioner will get a full medical and lifestyle history and do a physical exam. We will also obtain labwork to get some baseline values for where we are starting, and plan to go through your labwork together when the results are back (usually about 2 weeks). From there, we formulate your customized treatment plan based on your needs and health goals.

  • Is hormone replacement therapy safe?

    Yes. The hormones we use are plant based and bioidentical to those in your body, making bioidentical hormone replacement therapy a very safe practice. 

  • I was told I need weight loss surgery. Can you help?

    Yes! Weight loss surgery can be daunting to be planning for, and putting the right lifestyle habits in place to support your journey is critical. Whether you have surgery scheduled, or are potentially looking to avoid surgery altogether, we can help.
