Physician-Led Care
Care at Premier Wellness & Aesthetics is medically guided by Dr. Harlan South, MD. Patients can discuss goals, health history, candidacy, and available options before a plan is recommended.
What Is HRT?
HRT stands for hormone replacement therapy. It is a medically guided category of care focused on evaluating whether hormone replacement planning may be appropriate for a specific patient. At Premier Wellness & Aesthetics in San Francisco, HRT begins with a consultation. Patients meet with the physician-led team to discuss their goals, relevant history, and what a responsible plan may involve.
Why Patients Ask About HRT
Patients ask about HRT for many personal reasons. Common ones include:
- Interest in a physician-led conversation about hormones and overall wellbeing
- A desire to understand what HRT may — and may not — involve
- Wanting a responsible, individualized alternative to self-directed approaches
- Broader interest in longevity and wellness planning
These are reasons patients ask about HRT, not promised outcomes. Candidacy is determined during consultation, and recommendations vary by patient.
HRT vs. TRT vs. Hormone Optimization
HRT, TRT, and general hormone optimization are related but distinct concepts. HRT is typically discussed as hormone replacement therapy. TRT specifically focuses on testosterone. Hormone optimization is a broader planning conversation that may or may not include either. The right starting point depends on the individual patient.
How the Consultation Process Works
An HRT consultation at Premier Wellness & Aesthetics typically includes a review of goals, relevant health history, and lifestyle. Dr. Harlan South, MD discusses what an evaluation may involve, what risks and considerations exist, and what a personalized plan may look like if the patient is a candidate. When HRT is not appropriate, the team explains why and, when useful, suggests other paths.
