Endocrinology, Explained by Women's Hormone Specialists Who Coordinate

Thyroid disease, perimenopause, menopause, and metabolic health, written from the same practice that sees you for those problems.

What I cover

About Endocrinology & Hormone Health

Most women arrive having been told their labs are 'normal' while their sleep, weight, mood, and cycles say otherwise. At Wellamina, hormone evaluation is thorough, patient, and grounded in evidence - not whatever protocol is trending this quarter.

What makes this different is what happens after the visit. Your endocrinology findings live in the same patient chart as your pelvic health, breast health, and reconstructive planning. If HRT is on the table, your breast specialist already knows. If thyroid or metabolic shifts affect a planned procedure, your surgeon is already looped in.

One address, one chart, four specialists actively coordinating - so perimenopause and menopause are treated as the whole-body transitions they actually are.

Common questions

Things people ask before they book.

What does Endocrinology & Hormone Health involve?

A detailed history, targeted lab work, and a treatment plan covering thyroid, perimenopause, menopause, and metabolic health. Where appropriate, that includes hormone therapy, but always in context with your breast, pelvic, and overall health picture - never in isolation.

How much does Endocrinology & Hormone Health cost?

Fees depend on the depth of evaluation and any advanced testing involved. Because Wellamina is a concierge practice, visits are unhurried and pricing is discussed transparently before care begins. Our team will walk you through specifics when you inquire.

How long does Endocrinology & Hormone Health take?

Initial consultations are generous - typically an hour - so nothing gets rushed. Lab results and follow-up planning usually unfold over the following one to two weeks, with ongoing check-ins as your protocol is refined.
