What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment designed to address hormonal imbalances in the body, promoting overall well-being and alleviating symptoms associated with hormone decline. For men, low testosterone levels can lead to various issues, while women often experience hormonal changes during menopause.
As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline, leading to a range of symptoms. Low testosterone, or hypogonadism, can manifest as fatigue, decreased libido, mood swings, muscle loss, and difficulties with concentration. Hormone Replacement Therapy for men involves supplementing testosterone to restore hormonal balance and alleviate these symptoms. Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. Hormone Replacement Therapy for women during menopause involves supplementing estrogen and, if needed, progesterone to rebalance hormonal levels.
Am I A Candidate for Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone imbalances can affect both men and women. Men experiencing symptoms associated with low testosterone, such as fatigue, reduced libido, mood swings, muscle loss, and difficulties with concentration, may be candidates for HRT. Women experiencing symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and sleep disturbances, may consider HRT. Hormonal imbalances can occur for various reasons, beyond natural aging processes. Individuals with conditions leading to hormonal disruptions, such as thyroid disorders or certain medical treatments, may benefit from HRT to restore balance.
Cost of Hormone Replacement Therapy
At Redwood Medical, we believe in transparency. The cost of Hormone Replacement Therapy varies based on individual needs and treatment plans. During your consultation, our team will provide a detailed breakdown of costs, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the investment in your well-being.
What to Expect During a Hormone Replacement Therapy Consultation
Your initial consultation is a personalized, confidential session where we discuss your health history, symptoms, and goals. Our healthcare professionals will inquire about any symptoms you may be experiencing, such as fatigue, mood swings, changes in libido, sleep disturbances, or any other issues that could be indicative of hormonal imbalances. This helps identify specific areas that may benefit from HRT. Depending on your symptoms and health history, our healthcare professionals may recommend specific laboratory tests to assess hormone levels. These tests help determine the extent of hormonal imbalances and guide the development of a personalized treatment plan.
Preparation for Hormone Replacement Therapy
Before starting HRT, schedule a comprehensive consultation with our healthcare professionals at Redwood Medical. During this session, your health history, symptoms, and goals will be discussed, and appropriate tests may be conducted to assess your hormone levels. Be open and transparent about your health history, including any existing medical conditions, medications you are currently taking, and lifestyle factors. This information is crucial for developing a personalized treatment plan.

Patient Testimonials
Shailey PryerDecember 20, 2023This clinic goes above and beyond trying to take care of your health. Never had a doctors office where all your needs are listened to and understood and figured out. Kathleen is great. She is my new primary and I’ve seen her 3 times and it’s been all good experiences. She did everything in her power to get to the bottom of what’s been going on with my health. Jocelyn is also amazing. No bad comments about this place 🩷
Mackenzie KingDecember 11, 2023The staff here is some of the most caring, understanding and just gentle people in healthcare that I’ve met. I’ve had 2 visits so far and both times have been shown so much kindness. They listen to your concerns and provide an amazing environment
Michelle HerronNovember 11, 2023When I heard that Redwood Medical offered hormone replacement therapy and Botox, I was intrigued by the prospect of receiving these services in a primary care setting. From the moment I stepped into Redwood Medical's office, I was pleasantly surprised by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. I was impressed by their knowledge and expertise in both hormone replacement therapy and Botox. They took the time to explain the benefits and risks of each treatment, and they answered all of my questions. When it came time to receive my treatments, the staff was incredibly kind, and they made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. The treatments were quick and painless, and I was thrilled with the results. I can't say enough good things about Redwood Medical. They have truly set a new standard for primary care, and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking hormone replacement therapy, Botox, amazing primary care or weight loss. They care about more than just your symptoms; they care about you, as a person.
Piper RadfordSeptember 15, 2023The best place to have appointments with if you want not only quality, but superb care as a patient. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Rachel Stolley for three almost four years, and I couldn’t have asked for a better primary doctor that listens to my concerns, addresses them and finds a solution to help me live a happier, and healthier lifestyle. Not only that, but Redwood Medical (formerly Heartlight Family Clinic) has the best psychiatric care as well. I have seen Dr. Tate Ulrich a couple of times, and she’s also listened to my problems, doesn’t think I’m a nut case. She’s even helped me realize there are other methods to ease up my depression, other than those who would rather drug me up. Thank you so, so much for providing the best medical care team for both physical and mental health. It means so much. Blessings from a current patient.
