Q. How long/what would go into a first appointment for someone looking to start HRT? My work hours are during your business hours during the week so calling to set up an appointment is difficult but I’d like to plan ahead.

A. To begin the process of starting HRT you would schedule a New Patient appointment and indicate you are interested in hormone therapy. This appointment is a general establish care visit.  It is available 9-5 M-F and until 6pm on Tuesdays. After that appointment, you will schedule a return appointment with one of the doctors who prescribes hormones.  Those appointments are currently being scheduled 6-8 weeks out and are typically on Tuesday mornings. The process is different for people 16 years and younger.
