Specialty Care
Perimenopause and menopause are not conditions to endure quietly. They are a well-understood physiological transition with real, treatable symptoms, and you deserve a provider who evaluates them properly rather than telling you this is simply what your forties and fifties feel like.
Perimenopause usually begins years before periods stop, often in the late thirties or forties. During this stage hormone levels fluctuate rather than steadily decline, which is why symptoms can arrive while cycles are still perfectly regular, and why a single lab result can look unremarkable even when what you're experiencing is very real.
The symptoms extend well beyond hot flashes. Sleep that breaks up in the early morning hours, anxiety or irritability that feels chemically different from ordinary stress, brain fog and word-finding trouble, joint aches, heavier or unpredictable periods, weight that settles around the middle despite unchanged habits, vaginal dryness, and a drop in libido are all commonly part of this transition.
Evaluation begins with a thorough history and comprehensive lab work that looks at thyroid and metabolic markers alongside sex hormones, because thyroid dysfunction, anemia, and sleep disorders can closely mimic this picture. Getting the diagnosis right matters more than getting to treatment quickly.
Treatment is genuinely individualized. For some women, hormone therapy is the most effective option, and current evidence generally supports a more favorable risk profile when it is started closer to the onset of menopause. For others (whether because of personal history, medical contraindications, or simple preference) non-hormonal approaches are the right path. Both are legitimate, and both are discussed openly.
Care continues after the initial plan. Symptoms shift over the course of the transition, and your plan is revisited and adjusted rather than set once and left alone.
A consultation is the best way to know whether this care fits your situation. Women who commonly benefit from evaluation include:
Worth a conversation if…
May not be appropriate if…
Candidacy is always determined during a confidential consultation.
Your first visit is a conversation, not a checklist. We want the full picture: what changed, when, how it affects your days and your sleep, what you have already tried, and what you most want to feel different.
Lab work follows, timed correctly if you are still cycling. We look at thyroid and metabolic markers alongside sex hormones, because attributing everything to menopause without checking the alternatives is how conditions get missed.
We then review the results with you and talk through options, including the option of doing nothing for now. If hormone therapy makes sense, we discuss which form, why, and what the trade-offs are. If it doesn't, we discuss what else can help.
Menopause care is priced as ongoing care rather than a single procedure, and the total depends on your lab work, whether your plan includes prescription therapy, and your follow-up schedule. Some lab testing is covered by insurance; compounded prescriptions and specialty hormone panels typically are not. We outline what your plan will cost at consultation.
