Hormone Therapy · Boca Raton, FL
For perimenopause, menopause and the hormonal change after a hysterectomy. We test first, go through the results with you — by phone or at the office, whichever suits you — and prescribe only if your labs and symptoms agree. Bruce J. Stratt, MD consults on the protocol.
Takes about 30 seconds. We call you back within one business day.
Worth saying out loud
Many hormone clinics in South Florida treat men only. Women's hormone care has been part of the work here since 2014 — same testing, the same results conversation with someone from the team, physician-supervised throughout.
What this is for
Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone all shift, rarely at the same rate and never on a schedule anyone warned you about. Which one is off changes the prescription. So we test.
The years before periods stop, and the least explained. Levels move month to month, which is why we test before prescribing.
Symptoms are steadier once periods stop, and easier to target. We treat what is interfering with your life, not a number on a chart.
Post-surgical change arrives abruptly rather than over years, and it is the version women are least prepared for. What was removed, and when, changes the plan.
The word people ask about
It is structurally identical to your own estrogen, progesterone or testosterone, rather than a similar-but-different compound. The practical argument is absorption and tolerance: replicate the body's own rhythm instead of overriding it, and women report fewer of the side effects associated with older synthetic formulations. Where an FDA-approved bioidentical product fits your case, that is what gets prescribed; where a compounded preparation is used, it comes from an FDA-registered compounding pharmacy.
Delivery matters too. Some women do better on a steady-release option like hormone pellets, which avoid the daily peaks and troughs; others prefer something adjustable week to week. Decided at your results visit.
How it actually works here
A hormone panel is hard to read on your own, and a PDF in your inbox is not an explanation. You get yours explained by a member of the team, over the phone or here at the office, and Dr. Stratt consults on what gets prescribed.
Symptoms, cycle history, surgical history, what you have tried. We tell you which panel you need — and which to skip.
A hormone panel drawn here in the office, plus thyroid where indicated. Fatigue and weight change are not always a sex-hormone problem, and we would rather know.
Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid — read out with your symptoms next to them by someone on the team, on a call or at the office. Dr. Stratt consults on the case. You get the plan and the price in writing.
Treatment starts only if indicated. Then we re-test on a set schedule and adjust — a first prescription is rarely the final one.
Who this is for
When therapy is working, the changes women report are in energy, sleep, mood, focus and libido. Response and timing vary, so we re-test.

Before you call
We treat both. Worth saying plainly, because a lot of clinics in this category are testosterone practices that added a women's page — you call, and the schedule is men. Women's hormone care is a standing part of what we do, and it is why patients drive here from Delray Beach and Boynton Beach.
No. Perimenopause can start years before periods stop, and it is often the stage where symptoms are worst and least explained. Testing tells us whether hormones are the story — or whether we should be looking at thyroid or something else instead.
Yes — we do not prescribe hormones without labs. Once the panel is back, someone from the team goes through your numbers with you — by phone or in the office, whichever you prefer. Dr. Stratt consults on your case and on what gets prescribed. You are not emailed a PDF and left to interpret it.
We are a self-pay practice, so nothing is billed to insurance. You get your price in writing at the results visit, once we know which protocol is indicated — before you commit to anything.
This page is for general information and is not medical advice. Whether any treatment is appropriate for you is determined after evaluation and, where indicated, laboratory testing.
