Menopause is a natural transition, but its symptoms — hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep disruption, vaginal dryness, brain fog, and decreased libido — can significantly impact your quality of life. Our hormone therapy program is designed to address these symptoms through a personalized, evidence-based approach that puts your unique needs at the center of every treatment decision.
A Personalized Approach from the Start
No two women experience menopause the same way, which is why we don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Your care begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Jennifer Griffin that includes a detailed review of your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and goals. Dr. Griffin uses comprehensive lab testing to evaluate your hormone levels and identify imbalances that may be contributing to how you feel. From there, she develops a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
When clinically appropriate, Dr. Griffin prescribes FDA-approved bioidentical hormone therapies — medications that are chemically identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. These products undergo rigorous testing for safety, purity, and consistent dosing, and include options such as estradiol patches, gels, sprays, and rings, as well as progesterone capsules. FDA-approved bioidentical hormones are her first-line approach, supported by extensive research and established safety profiles.
For patients whose needs cannot be adequately met by commercially available products — due to specific dosing requirements, allergies to inactive ingredients, or the need for combination formulations — Dr. Griffin may prescribe compounded bioidentical hormones prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy. We work only with accredited compounding pharmacies that meet stringent quality and safety standards, and she discusses the benefits and limitations of compounded options with you openly so you can make a fully informed decision.
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment
Hormone therapy is not a set-it-and-forget-it treatment. Dr. Griffin will monitor your response through regular follow-up appointments and updated lab work, adjusting your therapy as your needs evolve. She tracks symptom relief, hormone levels, and overall well-being to ensure your treatment remains safe, effective, and right for you at every stage.
Comprehensive, Whole-Person Care
Hormone therapy may not be appropriate for everyone. Dr. Griffin will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine whether hormone therapy is right for you and, if so, which approach offers the best balance of benefits and risks based on your individual health profile.
