Start Here: Choose Your First Visit

Every experience with perimenopause, menopause, and hormone therapy is different. Your care should be, too.

All new patients begin with one of two initial visits:
a
Comprehensive Evaluation or Focused Hormone Assessment.

Both options provide individualized recommendations and a clear plan for moving forward. The right starting point depends on the complexity of your symptoms, your health goals, and the level of evaluation you are seeking.

    Option 1: <br />Evolve Comprehensive Evaluation

    A whole-person evaluation for women with complex symptoms or multiple health goals.

    Your evaluation is with Stephanie Elder, DNP, MBA, ARNP, AGPCNP-BC

    The Comprehensive Evaluation is designed for women who want an in-depth assessment of their hormone health as well as the broader factors that may be affecting how theu feel.

    During your evaluation, we take a comprehensive look at your symptoms, health history, laboratory results, current medications, lifestyle, and long-term health goals.

    Depending on your individual needs, your evaluation may include a review of:

    • Perimenopause and menopause symptoms

    • Current or previous hormone therapy

    • Cardiometabolic and cardiovascular health

    • Weight, body composition, and insulin resistance

    • Thyroid and adrenal health

    • Sleep, energy, mood, cognition, and sexual health

    • Bone health and healthy aging

    • Nutrition, exercise, and supplement use

    • Relevant laboratory and diagnostic testing

    You will leave with a personalized care plan that addresses your immediate concerns while also supporting your long-term health.

    The Comprehensive Evaluation may be the best starting point for women who have multiple symptoms, more complex medical histories, cardiometabolic concerns, or who want a broad and detailed health assessment.

    Option 2: <br />Focused Hormone Assessment

    Clarity about your hormones and a personalized plan for what comes next.

    Your initial visit is a 75-minute consultation with Lavonne Searle, ARNP, Menopause Specialist.

    The Focused Hormone Assessment is designed for women whose primary concerns are related to perimenopause, menopause, or hormone therapy.

    The visit includes:

    • An InBody body-composition assessment

    • A conversation about your symptoms, concerns, and goals

    • A focused review of your medical and hormone history

    • Review of relevant laboratory results

    • Education about hormone therapy and other treatment options

    • An individualized care plan based on your needs

    You will leave with a clearer understanding of what may be contributing to your symptoms and a personalized plan—not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

    Focused Hormone Assessment: 75 minutes | $425

    This appointment may be the best fit for women who want a focused evaluation of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, mood changes, brain fog, low libido, vaginal symptoms, menstrual changes, or concerns about hormone therapy.

Which First Visit Is Right for You?

  • Choose the Comprehensive Evaluation if:

    • You have multiple or complex symptoms

    • You want a broad review of your overall health

    • You have cardiometabolic, cardiovascular, thyroid, weight, or other health concerns in addition to hormone symptoms

    • You would like an in-depth evaluation and long-term health strategy

  • Choose the Focused Hormone Assessment if:

    • Your primary concerns are perimenopause, menopause, or hormone therapy

    • You want a focused review of your symptoms and hormone options

    • You are considering starting hormone therapy

    • You are currently using hormone therapy and would like another approach or a more individualized plan

You do not need to have everything figured out before scheduling. Your first visit is where we begin—by listening to your concerns, reviewing your health history, and creating a clear path forward.

What Happens After Your First Visit?

After your initial evaluation, your provider will recommend the level of follow-up support that best fits your treatment plan.

You may choose to enroll in a structured Hormone Optimization Program or continue with individual visits. If you are already on hormones and would like to continue, you would be considered for maintenance sessions.
