Your first visit —
what to know.

Everything you need before your appointment. Start with the prepare tool, then complete your forms.

Then complete your forms below.

⚠ 2 forms required — your visit is not confirmed until both are in

Just like at any doctor's office, we can't see you until your paperwork is complete — the only difference is that here, the clipboard comes to you before your visit instead of in a waiting room. There are two separate forms below: the consent makes it legal for us to see you, and the intake gives us your history so your full 60 minutes go to you — not to filling out forms. Both must be submitted at least 24 hours before your appointment — completing one is not enough. If both forms are not in on time, your visit will need to be rescheduled.

1
Patient Consent & Agreement — FORM 1 OF 2
Review and sign — takes about 2 minutes
↗
2
Symptom & Medical Intake Form — FORM 2 OF 2
Your symptoms, health history, and current medications — allow 15–20 minutes
↗
Submitted one form already? You're halfway — the other is still required before your visit is confirmed.

What to expect

What we'll do together.

This is not a rushed 12-minute appointment. We take the time to actually understand what's going on — and you leave with a clear plan regardless of what you decide next.

Review your symptoms, goals, and history in full. Not a checkbox exercise — a real conversation about what you're experiencing and how long it's been going on.
Discuss evidence-based options tailored to you — both hormone and non-hormone approaches. You'll understand every option before we recommend anything.
Explain the reasoning and research behind every recommendation. You'll know where our information comes from and why it applies to you specifically.
Leave with a clear, personalized plan and next steps — even if you choose not to begin treatment immediately. There is no pressure and no obligation.

"Most women who come to us aren't looking for hormones. They're looking to sleep again. Think clearly. Feel steady. Feel like themselves."

After your visit

What happens next.

After your appointment, you'll receive a follow-up from us with next steps tailored to what we discussed.

If you choose to move forward, treatment can typically begin within 24 hours of completing membership registration. Prescriptions and lab orders are sent promptly once enrollment is complete — no weeks of waiting.

Most follow-up care happens through secure portal messaging, not repeat visits. Care that responds to you in real time, designed to fit into your life.

Curious what that actually looks like day-to-day? This gives you a sense of how ongoing care works between visits.

What about visits?
Visits are always available — we just don't require them for everything.

Video and in-person visits are always available. If something needs a real-time conversation or a new-patient workup, we can schedule that. Some situations genuinely call for it.

But most adjustments, refills, and follow-ups don't require one. That's the point.

Membership & cost

What ongoing care costs.

So none of your visit time goes to pricing or logistics, here's the full picture up front.

Your first visit — $50 video · $100 in person. A full 60-minute evaluation. It's a conversation and a plan; it doesn't include a written prescription.
Membership, if you continue — Active Care $129/month → Maintenance Care $89/month. Everyone starts in Active Care for the first few months, then moves to Maintenance Care once your plan is stable. Month-to-month, with 10 days' notice to cancel. Your first-visit fee is credited toward your first month if you enroll within two weeks.
Optional add-ons. Testosterone Support +$20/month. Weight & Metabolic Care (GLP-1) +$75/month — available later, only after hormone therapy is established and if a medical assessment confirms it's appropriate; the fee covers clinical management, with medication billed separately by the pharmacy.
