Bioidentical Hormone Replacement (BHRT)

Consult fee $100, pellet therapy female $350/male $750- labs not included- price of that varies and can be drawn at Quest (they can use insurance)

BHRT pellets are small, custom-compounded treatments that address symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances. During this straightforward in-office procedure, the pellets are inserted just
beneath the skin, where they gradually release hormones into your bloodstream. Typically, patients need only two to three pellet insertions per year, ensuring a consistent supply of hormones when your body needs them most.
