Areas of Clinical Practice
A combined scope across men’s hormone optimization, women’s hormone replacement, and menopause care. Each area is grounded in objective diagnostics — symptoms alone are never the basis for treatment.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy
For men with lab-confirmed hypogonadism, focused on stable optimization rather than supraphysiologic dosing.
- Hypogonadal symptom workup & differential diagnosis
- Protocol initiation and titration over 8–16 weeks
- Total and free testosterone, SHBG, LH/FSH interpretation
- Hematocrit, PSA, and estradiol monitoring across the course
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement
Estradiol and progesterone management for perimenopausal and menopausal patients, individualized to each clinical profile.
- Transdermal and oral protocol selection
- Cardiovascular and breast health risk assessment
- Sequential vs. continuous combined regimens
- Dose adjustment based on symptom and lab trajectory
Menopause & Perimenopause Care
A comprehensive approach to the menopausal transition, integrating hormone and non-hormone pathways per UBC CPD curriculum and North American Menopause Society guidance.
- Hormone therapy for vasomotor and genitourinary symptoms
- Bone density, cardiovascular, and metabolic risk coordination
- Symptom assessment using validated frameworks (MRS, Greene Climacteric Scale)
- Non-hormone treatment options for patients with contraindications
- Long-term care planning beyond the transition
