Bioidentical and compounded mean different things
Some FDA-approved medicines contain bioidentical hormones, including estradiol and micronized progesterone. Compounded preparations are a separate category. A treatment can be bioidentical without being custom compounded.

Explore hormone-therapy guidanceCompare products using useful questions
Ask for the medicine name, approval status and intended use. ACOG recommends approved menopausal hormone treatments over routine use of compounded formulations when approved options meet the patient’s needs.
- What evidence supports this medicine for my concern?
- Is the exact product FDA-approved, compounded or being used off-label?
- Why is this formulation appropriate instead of an approved alternative?
- How will we evaluate response and adverse effects?
The treatment goal matters more than the label
The useful starting point is the symptom or diagnosis you want to address. Menopause symptoms and testosterone deficiency need different evaluations. The same marketing term should not lead everyone into the same testing or treatment plan.
Bring the questions you have been researching
Bring the names of any products you currently use or are considering, along with prior results and your questions. You can discuss options without deciding on a product before the consultation.

Can we explore BHRT around my symptoms and preferences?
Yes. Start with the changes you want help with and what matters in your day-to-day routine. Your clinician can discuss whether hormone treatment is appropriate and compare specific products and delivery choices after reviewing your history.
What does “bioidentical” mean when comparing my options?
It describes a hormone molecule that matches one made by the body. It does not specify a delivery route or automatically make a product safer. FDA-approved and compounded products are distinct; compounded preparations are not FDA-approved, and FDA has not found them safer or more effective than approved hormone therapy.
Can I consider bioidentical hormones without choosing pellets?
Yes. The term describes the hormone rather than how it is delivered. Ask about the exact medicine, its approval status, delivery options, monitoring and costs. You can compare the options before deciding whether to proceed.

Your initial consultation is $200, credited toward treatment if you choose to proceed. Labs are charged separately. When scheduling by phone, our front desk collects a $50 booking deposit as part of the $200 fee, leaving $150 for the consultation. You can request a callback without paying online.
