What to Expect from Hormone Therapy in Chandler AZ

Hormone changes in Chandler AZ can affect every part of your daily life, from your energy and sleep to your metabolism, mood, and intimate wellness. Many patients come to us feeling frustrated, unheard, or unsure what’s “normal.” Our role is to provide clarity, reassurance, and a personalized plan that helps you feel like yourself again.

Below is a step-by-step look at what you can expect when beginning bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) at our Chandler, Arizona practice.

Your First Visit: A Comfortable, Comprehensive Evaluation

Your initial visit is designed to understand your whole health picture – not just your hormone levels.

What We Cover During Your First Appointment

Your symptoms and how long you’ve been experiencing them
Health history, lifestyle, sleep patterns, and stress levels
Prior treatments you’ve tried
A review of current medications and supplements
Discussion of your goals related to your energy, weight, libido, mood, cognitive clarity, or long-term wellness

At Amped MD, Dr. Arpita Surkunte and her team take time to listen. Most patients explain that this is the first time they’ve felt truly heard and understood.

Advanced Hormone Testing for Precision

We use lab testing to evaluate key hormones that commonly shift with age or stress, such as:

Estrogen
Progesterone
Testosterone
Thyroid hormones (TSH, Free T3, Free T4)
PSA (for men)
Other as appropriate

Dr. Arpita Surkunte and her experienced team will explain each result in plain language and how it relates to your symptoms.
