Frequently asked questions
I care for women navigating the transitions of midlife, including perimenopause, menopause, sexual health concerns, PCOS, thyroid issues, pelvic floor issues and weight management. My approach is evidence-based and personalized to help you feel like yourself again.
In our sessions, you can expect a thoughtful and thorough approach. I am here to listen attentively, ask pertinent questions, and apply both scientific knowledge and solutions to address your needs. We will collaborate through shared decision-making to craft a treatment plan that is uniquely yours, recognizing that sexual and pelvic health care must be tailored to each individual.
You may choose to start with an initial 15 minute complimentary telehealth consultation to understand your individual healthcare needs before scheduling a 60- minute new patient comprehensive evaluation appointment which may be either telehealth or in person depending on your individual needs.
Based on your unique symptoms, health history, and treatment preferences, I may prescribe FDA-approved hormone therapies (such as patches, gels, pills, or vaginal estrogen), compounded hormones when clinically appropriate, or non-hormonal medications to help with symptoms like hot flashes, mood changes, sleep disturbances, or bone health. I’ll also help you navigate insurance coverage, manufacturer coupons, and cash-pay discounts so you can access the most affordable and effective options. Every treatment plan is personalized—there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.
My practice is fully cash-pay, which allows me to provide longer, more personalized visits and direct access to your care without insurance barriers. However, you may still use your insurance benefits for labs, imaging (such as bone density scans), and prescriptions- helping reduce your overall out-of-pocket costs.
Insurance companies routinely limit our time with patients. Being independent of these restrictions guarantees that every session is committed to delivering individualized care customized to your unique needs. Having navigated insurance complexities for years, I avoid the obstacles to true quality care and have the flexibility to provide care tailored to YOUR goals.
Please note you can utilize your HSA or FSA account.
Yes!
We will always discuss hormone therapy to determine if you are a candidate and if it could benefit you. I may prescribe hormone therapies, which can include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
I do not offer testosterone pellets nor estrogen pellets.
Yes, we are contracted with Quest Diagnostics.
Quest has numerous convenient patient service centers nationwide.
We will not send you for expensive, unnecessary labs and Quest will be able to bill your labs through your insurance provider.
Yes. I order comprehensive labs to assess your hormone health, keeping in mind that levels—especially in perimenopause—naturally fluctuate. Instead of relying on a single number, I look at patterns and trends over time. I partner with Quest Diagnostics, so you can complete labs conveniently using your insurance. Once results are in, we’ll review them together and use that information to guide your personalized treatment plan.
Your first visit is a 60-minute telehealth consultation focused entirely on you. We’ll review your health, symptoms, and goals, and create a personalized plan. Together, we’ll decide if labs or imaging are needed and explore both hormonal and non-hormonal options—so you leave with clarity and a path forward.
Follow-up visits are 30 minutes and focus on fine-tuning your care based on your lab results, symptoms, and personal goals. We’ll evaluate how your treatment is working, discuss any changes or concerns, and adjust your plan accordingly. These visits are collaborative and designed to help you make steady, sustainable progress.
Your visit frequency will depend on your individual goals and preferences. Many patients find that check-ins every 6–12 weeks work well, but together we’ll determine the schedule that feels right for you. I offer flexible options so you receive consistent support at a pace that fits your needs.
Every patient’s care plan is unique, so costs may vary depending on your needs and goals. I’ll always be transparent about pricing and provide a clear breakdown of your options. During your consultation, we’ll review the details together so you know exactly what to expect.
