Your Consultation
1
Introduction
We will review your symptoms and their impact on your life, your medical history, goals and any questions you have so we can create a care plan that works for you. Don't worry - we have plenty of time to chat to cover it all!

Data Gathering
Based on your symptoms and health history and available lab information, we may run a custom in-house hormone panel, get more information from an external provider or even get you started with treatment. Sometimes simple feedback is the best data!

Your Plan
Then, we review your lab results and curate your initial care plan. Many therapies require dose tweaking and adjustments, especially early on, to find the right fit. We will get you started and check back in at 3-6 weeks
