 • Have or are willing to establish a professional relationship with a licensed medical practitioner specializing in female medicine (eg: Gynecologist, Nurse Practitioner, Internist or Family Practitioner) so that routine female examinations can be kept current. • Have an annual breast thermogram &/or mammogram, and transvaginal ultrasound. • Have a Bone Density test every 1-3 years, as well as appropriate blood and 24 hour urine hormone testing at the appropriate times or intervals. [These latter tests can be arranged by our office.] • Have a yearly consultation with Dr Rosensweet to evaluate and update your hormonal treatment program If your overall health is reasonable you can expect to begin a bio-identical hormone program in this first visit. Getting this program as safe and elegant as possible is a process and requires a certain amount of follow-up appointments with Dr Rosensweet, a few or several, until you arrive at an optimal program. These follow-up appointments are usually shorter in duration than the initial appointment. If other health issues are influencing your current situation (for example depleted neurotransmitters, liver issues, intestinal issues, and/or excessive stress) addressing these will be factored into your program and will call for more time and participation. Dr Rosensweet has written a book on Menopause and Natural Hormones. This book, designed for patients, covers many of the basics, and can save you both time & money when implementing your program. Dr Rosensweet believes that symptoms and health issues are caused by adversities of nutrition, toxicity, inadequate (or excessive) exercise and undo stress. What you think, feel, and choose to do with your life matters and will be relevant. Because they are critical to healing, Dr Rosensweet will address and assist you with this part of your healing, or will help you to discover the practitioner of your choice. Please feel free to discuss with Dr Rosensweet on the telephone any questions you may have about his approach prior to an initial visit with him.
