BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES

FAQ

Top 6 Most Asked Questions

  1. Are bioidentical hormones FDA-approved? Some bioidentical hormone products are FDA-approved; others are compounded. We discuss options, quality standards, and what’s appropriate for you.

  2. Is pellet therapy right for me? Pellets can offer steady levels with less day-to-day dosing. We review benefits and risks versus creams or tablets before deciding.

  3. How often are follow-ups and labs? Typically at baseline, 6–8 weeks after starting, and then every 3–6 months depending on your plan.

  4. What are possible side effects? Potential effects may include breast tenderness, acne, hair changes, mood shifts, or fluid retention. We monitor closely and adjust dosing.

  5. Do you take insurance? Office visits and labs may be billed to insurance when applicable; certain therapies may be self-pay. We provide transparent pricing.

  6. How soon can I start? New patient consults are usually available within 1–2 weeks.
