Health and longevity. Annual or semiannual detailed evaluation of your risk factors and life- style may permit you to avoid many undesirable later consequences through early intervention. We offer weight- reduction counseling, cardiovascular risk determination, and a complete panel of system testing designed specifically for each individual.
Menopausal management. Natural menopause is often free of disturbing symptoms. However, sometimes inappropriate bleeding, hot flushes, sleep disturbance, mood swings, depressed libido, and bladder control problems need to be addressed. We have many years of experience in this field, including the proper application and limitations of hormone therapy. We have a special interest in effective and safe hormone therapy. We are in a position to give you sound advice to assist your decision-making process in this complex matter.
Osteoporosis prevention and treatment. The painful and crippling consequences of loss of bone strength can be prevented. We have much clinical research experience in this area and have participated in the introduction of some of the new and effective treatments now available. We offer in depth analysis of the true risk of post-menopausal bone fragility, which is sometimes under diagnosed (missed) but, all too often, overdiagnosed. The risks of improper therapy are frequently ignored in the rush to respond to tests of questionable value. We have published research in the medical literature in this field and have closely followed the progress of therapy for 25 years. We have access to all the current treatment protocols when treatment is needed.
Women's health issues. In addition to the important annual screening for cervical and breast cancer, we can provide diagnosis, counseling and treatment for menstrual disturbances, birth control, fertility, mood swings, depressed libido, and pelvic and bladder pain.
