When telehealth may be appropriate

HRT evaluation and follow-up are well suited to telehealth for many patients. Some patients may need labs or in-person evaluation, especially if there are bleeding concerns, cardiovascular risk factors, or breast cancer history.

When to seek urgent or in-person care instead

Seek urgent or emergency care right away if you have:
  • Heavy or unexplained vaginal bleeding
  • Chest pain, shortness of breath, or signs of clot
  • Signs of stroke
  • New breast lumps or significant breast changes

Telehealth is not a substitute for emergency care. Call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or for mental health crises call or text 988.

What treatment may include

Treatment may include systemic estrogen with or without progesterone, vaginal estrogen, non-hormonal options, and lifestyle support. HRT is not appropriate for everyone, and prescribing is not automatic.

Pricing

This service is cash pay. Current pricing is shown in the patient portal at booking. We can provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement on request.

Frequently asked questions

Is HRT safe?

For many healthy adults under 60 or within 10 years of menopause, HRT is considered safe and effective. Risks vary based on history.

Will I gain weight on HRT?

HRT does not directly cause weight gain. Some patients feel better and find weight easier to manage.

How long can I stay on HRT?

Length of use is individualized. Many adults take HRT for years; others use it short-term for specific symptoms.

Do I need labs before starting?

Sometimes. Labs may help with planning. They are not always required for diagnosis.
