I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Mike and I cannot recommend him enough! His review of my (and my family’s) medical history was so in depth that we actually covered more than I ever have with my regular doctor. He went above and beyond to say the least. His approach is preventative, instead of just waiting for an issue to arise. Needless to say, I know I’m in good hands there.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jacquline Hollimon2024-08-12My first visit was a great experience.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment that uses hormones to replace the hormones that your body naturally produces but can decline with age. HRT is most commonly used to treat the symptoms of menopause, but it can also be used to treat other conditions, such as low testosterone levels in men.
There are two main types of HRT:
HRT can offer a number of benefits, including:
HRT can also have some risks, including:
HRT is not recommended for everyone. Some people who should not use HRT include people with a history of blood clots, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, stroke, or liver disease.
The length of time you use HRT will depend on your individual needs and risks. Most doctors recommend using HRT for the shortest amount of time necessary to relieve your symptoms.
There are a number of alternatives to HRT, including:
If you are considering HRT, it is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of HRT and to choose the type of HRT that is right for you.
It is also important to note that HRT is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. What works for one woman may not work for another. It is important to work with your doctor to find the right HRT for you and to monitor your progress closely.
