How it works

Treatment starts today. It doesn't end there.

Finish the intake this morning and meet a licensed clinician this afternoon. You leave with a plan you understand, the treatment your evaluation supports, and a clinician who keeps watching how it works.

7 minutes is not care. It's a conveyor belt.

The timeline

What happens, and how long it takes

Speed is the easy part. The clock that matters is the one that keeps running after treatment starts, so here is the whole thing, measured in days and months.

  1. Day 0 · Minutes

    You tell us what has been happening

    The intake is online and takes a few minutes. It asks what brought you here, what you have already tried, and what nobody has looked at yet. It routes you to the right care path before anyone books anything.

  2. Day 0 · Same day

    You pick your appointment

    Scheduling runs on your calendar, not ours. Same day appointments are available, and you can book further out if that suits your week better. This is the visit, and it is where the medicine happens.

  3. Day 2 to 3 · Lab results

    Your labs come back

    Where labs are indicated, results return in two to three days. Which panel you run depends on whether you are here for hormones, weight, or both, and your clinician decides that with you rather than at you.

  4. Next · Your plan

    Someone reads them next to your life

    Your clinician reads your results against your symptoms, your history, and what you told us on day zero. Then you get a plan you understand, and treatment starts when it is clinically appropriate for you.

  5. Monthly · Weight loss

    Weight loss follow up, every month

    Every month we look at the numbers, the side effects, the plateaus, and the parts of your life the scale does not show. Doses move. Plans change. That is the job.

  6. Quarterly · Hormones

    Hormone follow up, every three months

    Hormones move slowly, so we check them on their own clock. Four conversations a year about how you actually feel, read alongside what your labs actually say.

  7. Ongoing · Between visits

    The line stays open

    Message your care team through the portal about refills, doses, labs, and anything that worries you at eleven at night. Every medical decision is made by a licensed clinician.

Same day availability depends on clinician schedules. Lab turnaround is typical, not guaranteed, and varies by panel. Follow up intervals are typical starting cadences and are individualized to each patient. Treatment is prescribed only where clinically appropriate, and not every patient is a candidate.

From Emily

Your labs are more normal than your body feels

Both things are true. We work with both.

I hear it every week. The bloodwork is fine. The thyroid is fine. Everything is fine. And you cannot sleep, cannot think, and cannot recognize your own body in the mirror.

Totally get it. Here is what is actually happening. Normal is a range built from a population, and you are not a population. A number can sit inside that range and still be wrong for you. Most of the time, the panel that would have shown it was never ordered at all.

So we order it. Then we read it next to your symptoms, your history, and the last five years of your life. That takes longer than most doctors are given. That is the entire point of this practice.

Perimenopause starts ten years before your last period. Ten. Nobody tells you that.

If your doctor will not take your symptoms seriously, find a new doctor. Or call me.

The labs

The panel nobody ran

A hormone panel is often not included in an annual well check. That is why so many patients arrive here with a folder of normal results and a body that disagrees with all of them.

Where we run them

Ulta Lab Tests

Drawn at Quest Diagnostics locations. No hospital lab, no surprise bill, and no waiting on a referral that never comes.

What it costs you

30 to 50% less

Our contracted rate puts your lab cost 30 to 50 percent below standard cash pay pricing. Labs are billed separately from your visit, so you always know which line is which.

Labs are ordered where indicated. Savings range reflects our contracted rate compared with standard cash pay pricing and varies by panel. Labs are billed separately from visit fees. See pricing for how each part is billed.

Ongoing care

Your next visit is already scheduled

Treatment that works in month one does not always work in month six. Doses shift, labs move, symptoms change. So you are seen again before anything drifts.

Monthly

Weight loss

Progress, side effects, dose, and plateaus. We adjust as your body adjusts, and we say so out loud when something is not working.

Quarterly

Hormone therapy

Every three months, because hormones move on a slower clock than a scale does. Symptoms and labs get read together, never apart.

Always

The portal

Refills, dose questions, lab questions, and the thing you thought of after the visit ended. A licensed clinician answers.

Follow up intervals shown are typical starting cadences. Your clinician sets your schedule based on your treatment, your labs, and your response.

Timing FAQ

Common questions about the clock

How soon can I be seen

Same day appointments are available, subject to clinician schedules. You complete the intake online in a few minutes, then choose a time that works for you rather than waiting for one to be assigned.

How long do lab results take

Where labs are indicated, results typically return in two to three days. Turnaround varies by panel. Your clinician reads your results against your symptoms and your history before setting the plan.

Do I need labs before my first visit

No. Your clinician orders labs after the consultation, and only where they are indicated to sharpen the plan or protect your safety. Labs are billed separately from your visit.

How often will I see my clinician after treatment starts

Weight loss follow up is typically monthly. Hormone therapy follow up is typically every three months. Between visits you can message your care team through the patient portal, and every medical decision is made by a licensed clinician.

Why do you run labs through an outside lab

We order through Ulta Lab Tests, drawn at Quest Diagnostics locations. Our contracted rate puts your lab cost 30 to 50 percent below standard cash pay pricing, with no hospital lab and no surprise bill. A hormone panel is often not included in an annual well check, which is why many patients arrive with normal results and unresolved symptoms.
