hormone replacement therapy

Many of our doctors are experts in the prescribing of hormone replacement therapy, which is the use of prescription hormones to treat symptoms of menopause. Because of much confusion in recent years regarding the safety and benefits of hormones, a personal visit is encouraged to discuss your personal history, symptoms, and a treatment plan that is right for you.

We can help you navigate the confusion regarding bio-identical hormones, and the Women's Health Initiative study (WHI). Many women choose hormones to treat severe symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, sleep disturbance, and memory problems. Prevention of certain diseases such as osteoporosis, colon cancer, dementia, and even heart disease is another result of HRT for many women.

Please call for an appointment if you would like to learn more about hormone replacement therapy.
