Two out of three prostate cancers are found in men and prostate cancer does not always cause symptoms. Our prostate examinations can help check for disease in the prostate gland.

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) Our bodies produce a variety of hormones throughout our lives. These hormones must produce adequate, balanced amounts in order for your body to maintain proper health and normal functioning. For women, as you enter the menopausal or perimenopausal stage of life, your body starts to produce smaller amounts of hormones, particularly reproductive hormones, such as estrogen and progestin. Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy is natural and essential in restoring balance and harmony to your body. For men, as you enter the "midlife" or andropausal stage of life, also known as male menopause, your body starts to produce smaller amounts of hormones, particularly testosterone. Andropause is caused by lower levels of testosterone as you age. When levels are extremely low symptoms can be severe and cause serious health problems. The need for natural or Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy is essential in re-energizing your body. PAP Test A PAP test can save your life!
