Hormone Health and Menopause
Hormonal changes can affect your energy, sleep, mood, weight, and comfort. Dr. Doctor has a special focus on hormone therapy and helps women manage hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and other symptoms of perimenopause and menopause with personalized treatment plans. Because symptoms can overlap, we also evaluate for thyroid disorders.
