Bioidentical Hormone Therapy is one of its medical services. In its own words: "Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is used to help treat the symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, and post-menopause." It describes a custom mix of hormones for each patient, based on hormone levels identified through saliva samples, which it calls "custom-compounded" products. Its main stated benefit is that doses are individualized. The clinic does not name the hormones it uses or give dosing detail. The clinicians named on its site are Evan B. Shapiro, MD, FACOG; Jordan Pritzker, MD, MBA, FACOG; Lisa M. Appelt, MS, FNP; and Ina Lutin, RN, CPCP, FAAM.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for hormone therapy or any other service. It does not say whether a price would cover visits, lab work or medication. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not describe membership terms or cancellation. The one offer it makes is a free consultation. In its own words: "WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU COME IN FOR A FREE CONSULTATION." Ask what that visit includes before you assume anything else is free.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the hormone prescription and whether that clinician sees you before any hormones are started. Ask whether the medication is included in any price, whether it is a brand-name product or a custom-compounded one, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask what the saliva testing costs and how often it is repeated, along with the cost of follow-up visits and lab work. Ask whether the clinic accepts your insurance and what you would pay out of pocket. Ask whether telehealth is available, since it does not say. Finally, ask how you cancel or stop treatment and whether any fee applies afterward.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person hormone therapy for menopause or perimenopause in New Hyde Park, and you are ready to ask about prescribing, pricing and cancellation before you book. If you are looking for a weight loss, peptide or longevity program, it does not describe any of those, so it may not be the right call. If your main interest is cosmetic work, the practice offers many of those treatments, but that is a separate decision from hormone care.
