I wanted to know every single thing I could about hormone replacement therapy at PrecisionMD in Madison, Alabama, so that I could tell you in layman’s terms. What PrecisionMD is life-changing for men and women, and I hope this article makes the process clear as crystal, so that you feel empowered to take the next step (finally!)
I asked Nurse Practitioner Conne Walden countless questions about what the process of becoming a patient entails, so let’s get into it!
If you’re feeling generally “off” (perhaps lower energy, poor sleep, unexplained weight gain, etc., etc., etc.) and unlike yourself, you are so far from alone. PrecisionMD in Madison is not only a local leader in being incredibly rigorous and involved in your weight loss journey (read more about this here), but also in your hormone therapy journey.
Highly personalized. I can summarize the entire article right there! Your experience as a patient here will be medically guided in a very intentional way to uncover what’s happening in your body and how to treat it with a plan that will work long-term.
Walden brings over a decade of hormone therapy experience to the table, and she shares the practice’s approach with confidence and enthusiasm: They are going to understand the patient well and then going to treat with incredible precision.
Step 1: Schedule your first appointment by phone (256-286-1888) or on their website. You may choose to work with Dr. Traci McCormick or one of the fabulous nurse practitioners. Because this is a self-pay office, here are the appointment prices.
Step 2: Attend your appointment and discuss your symptoms, goals, medical history, and other relevant information.
Step 3: Complete very comprehensive lab work on-site at PrecisionMD, or complete it off-site. Either way works (though completing it on-site at PrecisionMD returns results much faster).
Step 4: Receive a call with your personalized hormone therapy plan. Because you will discuss a tentative plan in your first appointment, you will already have a general idea of what to expect when PrecisionMD calls you after reviewing your lab work. This solidifies that tentative plan.
Step 5: Pick up your prescription at the pharmacy and get going!
Your follow-up appointment happens at the three-month mark after you start treatment, with ongoing lab monitoring to ensure your body is responding extremely well!
The major difference here is that many clinics only check labs annually (and just a basic set at that!), whereas PrecisionMD consistently evaluates progress and adjusts treatment as needed based on objective results.
For those interested, pellet therapy is also available, but only after very careful lab evaluation (good info to know if the pellet route is more your speed!)
And if you’re concerned about outdated ties to synthetic hormones, PrecisionMD uses bioidentical hormones, which are designed to mesh right in with your body’s natural chemistry. Amazing!
Education, education, education; this is what PrecisionMD is all about! They want you to be 100% part of the process and fully understand what is going on inside your body, so you can consistently take the right steps to feel optimal.
They want you to know that the lab testing you’ll do with PrecisionMD goes far beyond standard panels and includes markers like FSH and LH to determine menopausal status, which is routinely overlooked in traditional primary care.
From there, the PrecisionMD team evaluates overall health, including heart health, calcium levels, and more, before ever starting any hormone therapy.
They ensure that they will never put someone on hormones unless they know it is safe.
