About Peggy Fishman, M.D. - Connecticut Bioidentical Hormone Doctor

What is Connecticut Bioidentical Hormone Doctor?

Connecticut Bioidentical Hormone Doctor is a hormone practice led by Peggy Fishman, M.D., who is listed as the prescriber. The office is at 24 Taylor Pl., Westport, CT 06880, and the phone number is (203) 263-9334. Dr. Fishman is board-certified in anti-aging medicine and regenerative medicine, a certification she has held since 1999 from the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. She is also founder and medical director of Integrative & Age-Management Medicine (IAAM) in Westport.

The main service is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, which the practice says it uses to treat men and women with hormone imbalances. The medications it names are bioidentical estrogen, testosterone and progesterone. It also lists pregnenolone, DHEA and thyroid hormone as services. In its own words: "Complete the form below to schedule an office visit or a telemedicine consultation."

The clinic lists Glastonbury, West Hartford, Newington, Wethersfield, East Hartford, Bloomfield, South Windsor and Windsor as areas it serves. The only street address it gives is in Westport. It also says it is open and adding new patients to a waiting list.

This listing is for its Stamford office at 243 Tresser Blvd 17th Floor.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, no program price and no medication cost listed. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, or whether any fee covers the medication. Ask for the full cost in writing before you book, so you can compare the total with what you expected.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescription. The clinic names Dr. Fishman as prescriber. Ask whether she reviews and signs each prescription herself, and who you will see at a telemedicine visit or a follow-up.

Next, ask whether any monthly or program fee includes the hormones. If it does not, ask what each medication costs, where it is filled, and whether it is commercially made or compounded. Ask the same about pregnenolone, DHEA and thyroid hormone, which are listed as separate services.

Then ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed separately. Ask how cancellation works, including any notice period and whether you pay for months you do not use. Ask for office hours, since none are listed.

Confirm where you will be seen. A map listing shows a Stamford address that the clinic does not give. If you live in one of the towns it names, ask whether visits are in person or by telemedicine only, and how long the waiting list is.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone therapy from a physician named as the prescriber, you can get to Westport or are comfortable with a telemedicine visit, and you are willing to get the full cost in writing before you commit. If you need in-person visits and live in one of the listed towns, ask about that first.
