Several telehealth clinics and specialty networks offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Below are reputable options to consider, with a brief note on why people choose them:
-
Defy Medical — Focuses on hormone optimization and BHRT for men and women; offers comprehensive lab testing, individualized protocols, and ongoing monitoring. Good if you want a specialty clinic with experience in testosterone/estrogen optimization.
-
BodyLogicMD — A national network of physicians who specialize in menopause and BHRT for women (and male hormone care in some locations). Often recommended for women seeking menopause-focused, physician-led care with local provider access plus telehealth.
-
Hims & Hers — Consumer-friendly telehealth platform that prescribes bioidentical hormones (e.g., testosterone for men via Hims; Hers offers women’s hormone/menopause care) with convenient online visits and direct delivery of medications. Good for straightforward, branded telehealth care and convenience.
-
Ro (Roman) — Well-known men’s health telemedicine company that offers testosterone replacement therapy with remote lab testing and follow-up. Good if you want a streamlined TRT program from a large telehealth provider.
-
HealthGAINS — Anti-aging/HRT clinic offering a range of BHRT options (including pellet therapy in some locations), with in-person clinics plus remote follow-up. People often pick them for more intensive, clinic-based BHRT programs.
-
PlushCare — Broad telehealth primary-care service that can evaluate and prescribe hormone therapy in many states; useful if you prefer care through a general telemedicine provider who coordinates labs and follow-up.
A few important points when choosing a BHRT provider
- Confirm the provider uses board-certified physicians and requires baseline labs (hormone panels, safety labs) before prescribing.
- Ask whether they use FDA-approved bioidentical hormones (estradiol, micronized progesterone) versus compounded formulations, and whether the compounding pharmacy is accredited (PCAB).
- Check availability in your state — telemedicine prescribing rules vary.
- Ask about monitoring frequency, side-effect counseling, and how they manage risks (breast cancer, blood clots, cardiovascular issues).
- Be cautious about clinics that push quick fixes or offer therapy without lab work and ongoing follow-up.
If you tell me your state, whether you’re seeking care for menopausal symptoms, male TRT, pellet therapy, or a particular delivery type (patch/gel/injection/pellet), I can narrow the options and check which of these services are available to you.
