Do you prescribe bioidentical hormones?
Yes, when clinically appropriate, we prescribe bioidentical hormones as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. We utilize high quality, accredited pharmacies, and do not work with local retail pharmacies.
Do you offer lab testing?

Yes, we use a combination of functional and traditional lab testing to assess hormones, gut health, micronutrient status, inflammation, and metabolic function. Some testing is done through standard labs, while others are specialty tests that may not be covered by insurance. Specific lab recommendations may be made at the initial consultation, if the plan is to continue working with our practice.

Treatment & Services

Do you prescribe medications?

Yes, we prescribe certain medications when appropriate; our approach emphasizes lifestyle, nutrition, and functional medicine strategies as well.

Can you be my primary care provider?

No, we are not a primary care practice and are not a replacement for a primary care physician or non-physician provider. All patients must maintain a relationship with a primary care doctor and other pre-existing specialty care for routine screenings, management of chronic conditions, and urgent care needs.

How do appointments work in a virtual setting?
All appointments are conducted via secure telemedicine video calls. Before your first appointment, you will complete a detailed intake form and consent forms to help us tailor your treatment plan.
Do you offer memberships or packages?
Yes, we offer a membership-based 6 month option for ongoing support, including follow-ups, lab reviews, and access to functional medicine testing. A long term relationship and more frequent touch points is ideal. If after your initial consult you are not quite ready for a 6 month commitment, we offer a report of findings visit after lab tests have been completed. After that, you may decide to engage in the 6 month option.
What is the cost of a visit?
Pricing varies based on the type of visit and services included. Initial consult (meet and greet) is currently $147 for a 40-minute visit. Membership pricing will be provided during the initial consult if it feels like a good fit to work together.
What is your cancellation policy?

We require at least a 24 hour notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or missed appointments may be subject to a fee. New patients that miss their initial consultation may not be able to reschedule.

Appointments & Memberships

Can I become a patient if I am pregnant or trying to conceive?
No, we do not accept patients who are currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to conceive within the next six months. Our treatment protocols are designed specifically for perimenopausal women and are not appropriate during pregnancy or lactation.
Can I work with you if I have a complex medical condition?
We focus on optimizing health and do not manage acute or complex medical conditions that require specialist care. If you have a chronic condition, we are happy to collaborate with your existing healthcare team.
