Yes, we will only prescribe bio-identical hormones if our extensive and appropriate laboratory tests indicate less than optimal blood or saliva levels. Examples of natural, bioidentical hormones include Natural Progesterone, Natural Testosterone, DHEA, Pregnenolone, Natural Estrogens and Human Growth Hormone. Because natural, bioidentical hormones have the identical structure of our own endogenously produced hormones, these substances have very few adverse effects associated with them. This is contrasted with the high rate of serious adverse effects of synthetic hormones such as Premarin and Provera.  We work closely with our compounding pharmacist on your behalf.  It is our opinion that a synthetic hormones should never be used, for any condition, when there is a natural, bioidentical hormone available.

It may take from 48-72 hours for your pharmacy to process a prescription refill. Please plan ahead to avoid any interruption in your medications. The most efficient way for you to refill your prescription is to call the pharmacy directly and have them fax a refill request to our office.
