A Look Into Our Practice
At The Hormone Center, we focus on the cause, not the symptom. We are an integrative medical practice and we put our clients first.
- We begin with a detailed questionnaire to help our medical providers to get a better more comprehensive understanding of your symptoms. This questionnaire also helps us to determine if your symptoms are hormone related and if we can help you.
- Our medical providers utilize this questionnaire and the health history that you provide at your initial appointment to determine the testing that they would like to prescribe.
- We prescribe thorough blood and saliva testing to get a picture of your endocrine function.
- Our providers will then utilize these results to establish a treatment plan to address any dysfunction, imbalance or nutritional deficiencies.
- Our treatment plans consist of a combination of traditional medicine, integrative medicine, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and high-quality nutraceuticals.

A Doctor's Journey
I started to realize something was wrong when I saw a patient who was on 10 medications. The first five dealt with ailments while the second five were for the side effects of the first five. Despite the medications, the patient didn't feel any better. This was the beginning of my inquiry into another way to practice medicine.

Optimizing Brain Health
Anxiety is a pervasive symptom in our society. It does not always occur to the degree that it becomes an official diagnosis or disorder but does affect many people. As a physician, I often get asked how to manage anxiety without taking medication. When anxiety occurs, our adrenal glands produce adrenalin, leading to heightened alertness in the body. Adrenalin is the “fight or flight” signal which raises the heart rate and blood pressure, diverting blood flow to the muscles and preparing the body for action. At the same time, it shuts down our ability to think and reason, turns off our digestive and reproductive functions, and has negative effects on our sleep.
