Question 1

What type of patients do you treat?

Accepted Answer

My specialty and passion is caring for women navigating the transitions of midlife, including perimenopause, menopause, sexual health concerns, polycystic, ovarian syndrome (PCOS), thyroid issues, pelvic floor issues and weight management. My approach is evidence-based and personalized to help you feel like yourself again.

Question 2

What type of medications do you prescribe?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Do you order lab testing for hormones?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Can I be reimbursed by insurance?

Accepted Answer

While I do not contract with insurance companies, I am considered an out of network provider and I do provide a super bill for those not on Medicare.

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.
