Hormone therapy Burlington

What types of hormone therapy do you offer?

Our clinic offers a full range of hormone therapies to help patients experiencing issues related to menopause, androgen deficiency, or gender transition. We provide estrogen therapy, testosterone therapy, progesterone therapy, and hormone blockers. Our experienced physicians will work with each patient to determine which therapy is right for their individual needs and goals.

How does hormone therapy work? What results can I expect to see?

Hormone therapy works by restoring hormone levels in the body that have become unbalanced due to natural aging processes or gender transition. Patients can expect to see relief from troublesome menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal atrophy. For patients undergoing gender transition, results will include physical changes like breast development, changes in body fat distribution, or facial hair changes. It’s important to have realistic expectations, as the degree of changes varies per individual. We’ll monitor your progress to ensure your health and help you achieve your transition goals.

What are the risks or side effects? How do you minimize them?

There are some potential risks like blood clots, gallstones, or high blood pressure. We minimize these by carefully managing dosages, monitoring health data, and ordering lab testing. We’ll work diligently to provide the benefits of therapy while avoiding complications. Patients on estrogen may retain fluid, gain weight, or rarely experience breast cancer. Testosterone therapy may cause acne or sleep apnea. We’ll review all possible side effects with patients to support informed decision making about starting therapy.

How much does treatment cost? Do you take insurance?

Our fees are competitive with other clinics in the region. The cost varies based on which therapies, medications, and procedures a patient requires. We do accept most major insurance plans. After an initial consultation, we can verify individual coverage amounts and provide specific cost estimates. Please don’t hesitate to ask our staff any financial questions.
