Get Started

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Clinic

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement (BHRT) is the replenishment of structurally identical natural hormones to allow the body to achieve its full potential. BHRT has gotten a lot of attention in recent years. It promises a "natural" form of hormone therapy that is tailored to each patient.

Your initial appointment will be 20-30 minutes, at which time Dr. Bobby will order specific blood tests and lab tests for you to complete. These tests will allow Dr. Bobby to have an "in depth look into your body". After your initial appointment you will book your follow up appointment to review your lab results, from there the remainder of your appointment will be determined.

A referral is not required for our Hormone Clinic – call 587-391-3665.

If you do not have a family doctor for a dermatology referral, our Family Physician Dr. Bobby Sreenivasan can see people without a referral and subsequently refer you to one of our dermatologists internally. To book with Dr. Bobby call 587-392-SKIN (7546).
