How hormone care works
We do not practice lab-only medicine. Labs guide the plan. They do not replace the conversation.
At your consult, we want to really understand what's been going on, what you've tried, and what hasn't worked. Then we'll look at what options actually make sense for your body and your goals. That way you're not guessing anymore.
Five steps, start to finish
1. Prescreen
Answer a short hormone prescreen online: your symptoms, your history, and any labs you already have. If you have recent labs, you can upload them there.
2. Consult
- We start with your symptoms and your history, not just a blood draw
- We screen for safety first — clotting history, cancer history, smoking, abnormal bleeding, pregnancy plans, liver or heart disease, and sleep apnea
- Your provider explains the risks and the benefits before anything is prescribed
Your consult can be in person in Magnolia, or by telehealth. Cypress is by appointment only right now.
3. Labs
- Lab work looks at the hormone markers that fit your symptom pattern
4. Plan
- If therapy is appropriate, we set a plan and a recheck date
A licensed provider decides whether treatment is appropriate for you. You sign your consent forms before any prescription is filled.
Creams and forms you take by mouth come first. Injections are used only if you ask for them. We do not offer pellet therapy at all.
5. Follow-up
Hormone optimization is not one visit. Your first recheck is usually eight to twelve weeks in, so we can adjust based on how you feel, any side effects, and repeat labs. The first year needs closer monitoring. Once things are stable, visits can spread out.
Where we can see you
Telehealth medical care is currently available only to patients who are physically located in Texas, Colorado, Florida or Ohio at the time of their visit.
If testosterone is part of your plan, you’ll have a live visit with your provider, by video or in person, before the first prescription. Testosterone is a controlled substance, and some states require that live first visit. We help you book it.
Your next step: a hormone consult

It starts with a short hormone prescreen. Then you pick a time for your consult.

Hormone therapy requires a medical consultation, a licensed provider and a prescription. Nothing is available without a prescription.
All prescription therapies require a medical evaluation. A licensed provider decides whether a treatment is appropriate for you. Not everyone is a candidate.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality.
Some hormone therapies are prescribed off-label. Your provider will tell you when that applies to your plan and why.
