Choosing A Hormone Doctor
If you are concerned about your hormone levels, you better consult with a qualified doctor to evaluate your condition. They can tell you if you require hormone replacement therapy already. Here are some steps to finding a doctor who will provide the appropriate therapy and monitor you for its efficacy and complications, if any:
- Consult your current physician for names of doctors who are qualified in HRT.
- If your doctor is unable to provide you with any referrals, search for doctors offering HRT therapy in the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists database.
- In order to narrow your list, go through the list of doctors to note if any of them work with your insurer. You can call the doctor to find out if they accept your insurance provider, or check with your provider directly.
- Make an appointment with the doctor who will evaluate your suitability for HRT. The doctor should prescribe you this therapy only after a thorough evaluation of your medical history.
