Menopause care in Texas, by video

Texas patients are treated through Golden Leaf Health, PC by a physician licensed in Texas, supported by the rest of the care team: Dr. Ashley Alexis, ND, Dr. Steve Groke, MD, and Mai Tran, PharmD, our compounding pharmacist advisor. You can read about each of them on our About page. Every physician licensed in Texas is listed in the Texas Medical Board’s public lookup.

• You’re in Texas at the time of each video visit. Your clinician’s Texas licence is what allows them to treat you, so a visit from across the state line in Shreveport or Oklahoma City can’t go ahead that day. Home, work or a parked car in Texas all count.
• You have a phone or computer with a camera and a private place to talk for the visit.
• You’re a woman with perimenopause or menopause symptoms. You don’t need a diagnosis, a referral or a previous hormone test to book.

1. Book. Pick a time at start.goldenleafhc.com, confirm you’ll be in Texas, and read the telehealth consent.
2. Talk. A one-on-one video visit about your symptoms, history, lifestyle and goals.
3. Test, if it would change the plan. Your provider decides at the first visit whether labs are needed to start. If they are, they order them and tell you how and where to have them done. Many women start without labs.
4. Treat. If hormone therapy or another treatment is right for you, your prescription goes to a pharmacy that can fill it for you in Texas. Membership covers your ongoing care: follow-up visits with a doctor, check-ins through HIPAA-compliant messaging, regular Q&A sessions with the experts and a library of resources chosen by the team.

Prescriptions are sent to a pharmacy that can fill them for you in Texas. We prescribe FDA-approved bioidentical estradiol and progesterone products and, where appropriate, compounded prescriptions, and your provider explains which fits you. Compounded hormones are not FDA-approved. We don’t offer pellets anywhere we practise.

If labs are needed, your provider orders them and tells you how and where to have them done. Lab prices depend on what is tested.
