What to Expect With Our Hormone Optimization Program
Our hormone optimization program is structured, thorough, and personalized. Every step is designed to identify contributing hormonal factors, guide treatment decisions, and support long-term stability, not just short-term symptom relief.
Consultation With a True, Experienced Hormone Specialist
Your initial visit includes an in-depth discussion of symptoms, medical history, lifestyle factors, and goals. This conversation helps us, as your provider, understand how hormone changes may be affecting your daily life and guides appropriate testing and next steps.
Comprehensive Hormone Testing
We use advanced lab panels to assess key hormone levels and related biomarkers, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, SHBG, DHEA, thyroid markers, and cortisol patterns. We assess balance, ratios, and bioavailability – not just whether a number falls within range.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Treatment plans are individualized based on lab findings, symptoms, body composition, metabolic factors, and hormone-binding dynamics such as SHBG. When clinically appropriate, your therapy may include bioidentical hormones, thyroid or DHEA support, and coordinated nutrition, fitness, sleep, and stress recommendations.
Convenient, Trusted Pharmaceuticals
When hormone therapy is prescribed, medications are sourced through carefully vetted, licensed pharmacies. Options may include FDA-approved formulations or compounded therapies when appropriate. Prescriptions can be delivered discreetly to your home for convenience.
Ongoing Physician-Led Monitoring and Support
Hormone therapy requires ongoing assessment and our care remains physician-directed at every stage. Patients are monitored with regular follow-ups and repeat labs to evaluate response, manage side effects, and make adjustments over time.

HRT Programs for Men and Women
Women's Hormone Therapy (BHRT)
Hormonal shifts during perimenopause, menopause, or other life stages can affect your energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, and overall well-being.
Some women also experience ongoing challenges such as PMS, cycle irregularity, or hormone-related symptoms that don’t resolve with lifestyle changes alone, especially when symptoms persist despite “normal” labs.
Our treatment options for women’s bioidentical hormone replacement therapy are designed to evaluate hormone balance in context and provide individualized care that supports daily function and long-term overall health.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy FAQs
What are bioidentical hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the natural hormones produced by the body. Some bioidentical hormones are available in FDA-approved forms, while others may be prescribed through licensed compounding pharmacies when clinically appropriate.
Is hormone replacement therapy HSA or FSA eligible?
In many cases, hormone replacement therapy and related lab testing may be eligible for HSA or FSA reimbursement. Eligibility depends on your specific plan. We recommend checking with your benefits administrator for confirmation.
How long does a consultation typically take?
In-office initial hormone consultations typically last about 45 minutes and include blood tests, EKG, body composition analysis, and a comprehensive provider consultation.
Can I schedule a virtual (telehealth) HRT consultation, instead?
Yes. Telehealth hormone consultations are available for patients who are residents of Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, or Virginia, when clinically appropriate.
