We have made some exciting changes and additions to our practice over the last few months. Our weight loss program is off to a great start with amazing results. We are focused on getting rid of pounds initially combined with changes in lifestyle which will ensure long term satisfaction. The maintenance phase is extremely important and we will offer numerous ways to help during this part of the program.
We now offer personal training assistance and advice during and after your program.

BioIdentical Hormone Therapy
Our patients have asked for it, and now we have it - Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy.
We have designed a comprehensive, closely monitored BHRT program just for you. And the good news? It is typically covered by insurance.
How do you know if BRHT is for you?
Do you feel tired and simply just not yourself? As we get older, our physiological make-up changes, causing a hormonal imbalance in our bodies --primarily an incorrect relationship between progesterone and estrogen levels.
These treatments are designed to the same molecular structure as the hormones in your body. Because these are natural, your body can metabolize them as it was designed to do so, with minimal side effects.
With this program the focus is on you, and the approach we take is according to your unique physiology. You will receive the following:
·      Very in-depth consultations, with lots of discussion, input and hormonal testing to determine your needs
·      Oral or transdermal hormones with careful monitoring to determine symptom relief based on lowest possible dosage
And remember, maintaining adequate levels of testosterone in the body is critical for men as well.  For more information about BHRT, visit our website.
Don't live with that "just not yourself" feeling any longer. You deserve the best. Call us at (972) 304-6400 to make an appointment for your initial consultation today!
