How It Is Given
Getting Started
Most Common
Serving Marietta
We see women from Marietta and across Gaston County for menopause assessment and hormone therapy. Bloodwork and prescriptions both stay local.
Labs and pharmacy
Nothing in the first appointment requires you to be physically present in Marietta, because the whole of it is history taking and discussion. The first consultation covers your cycle history, your symptoms, your medical and family history, and whether hormone therapy is appropriate for you. That conversation works equally well in a room or over video.
If bloodwork would change the plan, the request goes to a collection site in Marietta or nearby rather than here. Results come back to us and we contact you, so nothing depends on you chasing a laboratory.
Prescriptions go to your own pharmacy. That keeps you free to compare the generic price against a brand, which on this treatment is frequently the largest number in the whole process.

Because the prescription travels to a pharmacy you choose, the same treatment can cost noticeably different amounts across Marietta depending on generic pricing.
Getting started
By phone or through the form. Say whether you would prefer to come in or use video.
Half an hour on symptoms, cycle history and what you have already tried. Bring anything you have.
Requested locally, not here. Ordered only where the result would change the plan.
Usually remote. Booked before you leave rather than left for you to arrange.
What we treat
Sleep is often what finally prompts the call, and a Marietta consultation then turns up joint aches and brain fog that had been written off. Hot flashes and night sweats, broken sleep, brain fog, mood changes, vaginal dryness and joint aches are what most women arrive with, usually several at once.
The assessment, the prescribing standards and the review schedule are identical regardless of which area you live in. Distance changes the logistics, not the medicine. The detail sits in vaginal dryness, our clinicians and testosterone for women. Living further out of Marietta changes your travel time and nothing about the assessment, the prescribing standard or the review schedule.
Nearby areas
Virtual appointments extend well beyond this list, so it is worth asking if you are just outside it.

Patient reviews
I had been waking three or four times a night for two years and had been told it was just stress. The consultation actually went through my cycle history. Six weeks on a patch and I am sleeping through.
What I wanted was someone who would talk about the risks honestly rather than sell me something. They walked through the clot data and why a patch suited me better than tablets.
The brain fog was the part nobody warned me about. Having a clinician tell me it was a recognized symptom and not early dementia was worth the appointment on its own.
It took two dose changes before things settled, which they had told me upfront might happen. The three-month review was booked before I left the first appointment.
