Feeling off but can't quite explain why? Persistent fatigue, unexplained weight changes, mood shifts, low libido, brain fog — these are some of the most common complaints in our clinic, and hormonal imbalance is one of the most frequently missed explanations. At Viva Medical Center in Doral, we take hormonal health seriously. Our physicians use a thorough, lab-driven diagnostic process to identify exactly what's out of balance — then build a personalized treatment plan designed to get you back to feeling like yourself. Whether you're navigating menopause, dealing with low testosterone, managing a thyroid condition, or simply can't get to the bottom of chronic fatigue, we serve patients across Miami-Dade County with bilingual, compassionate, evidence-based hormone care.
Hormonal Conditions We Evaluate & Treat
Hormone imbalances can affect virtually every system in the body. We evaluate and manage a wide spectrum of conditions in both men and women:
- Menopause and perimenopause — targeted relief for hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and sleep disruption
- Low testosterone (Low T) in men — restoring energy, libido, muscle mass, and mental clarity
- Thyroid disorders — hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis
- Adrenal imbalances and cortisol dysregulation — addressing the hormonal impact of chronic stress
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) — hormonal regulation, cycle management, and fertility support
- Insulin resistance and metabolic hormone dysfunction
- Growth hormone deficiency — evaluation and management
Our Diagnostic Approach — Testing Before Treating
We never guess with hormones. Every treatment plan at Viva Medical Center begins with precise, comprehensive testing:
- Full hormone panel blood testing — comprehensive baseline measurement
- Thyroid function panel — TSH, free T3, free T4, and reverse T3 when indicated
- Adrenal and cortisol assessment — morning cortisol and 24-hour patterns
- Reproductive hormone panels — estrogen, progesterone, testosterone (total and free)
- Metabolic and nutritional markers — insulin, glucose, vitamin D, B12
- Complete symptom, medical history, and lifestyle review — the numbers only tell part of the story
Treatment Options — Safe, Personalized, Monitored
After a thorough diagnosis, we develop a treatment plan tailored to your lab results, symptoms, and goals — with regular monitoring throughout:
- Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) — for women in perimenopause and menopause
- Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) — for men with medically confirmed low T
- Thyroid hormone replacement and ongoing dose optimization
- Nutritional and lifestyle modifications to support hormonal balance
- Adrenal support protocols for cortisol imbalances
- Regular monitoring labs and follow-up adjustments — we stay with you through the process

Frequently Asked Questions
What is hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and who is it for?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) replenishes hormones that decline with age — primarily estrogen and progesterone in women, and testosterone in men. It is used to address symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, andropause (low testosterone), and hormonal imbalances that affect quality of life, energy, mood, and physical function.
Do you offer testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in Doral, FL?
Yes. We provide testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for men diagnosed with low testosterone (hypogonadism). Treatment options include topical gels, injections, and patches. Therapy is initiated only after thorough lab evaluation and clinical assessment. Call +1 305 209 0001 to schedule a hormone evaluation.
What is BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy)?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by the human body, derived from plant sources. BHRT can be individualized in compounded formulations or prescribed as FDA-approved bioidentical products. Our physicians discuss the evidence base, options, and risks for each patient individually.
How do I know if I need hormone therapy?
Common signs of hormonal imbalance include persistent fatigue, unexplained weight gain, low libido, sleep disturbances, mood changes, hot flashes (women), and reduced muscle mass or strength (men). A hormone panel blood test is the starting point. Call +1 305 209 0001 to schedule an evaluation at our Doral, FL office.
Is hormone therapy covered by insurance in Florida?
Coverage for hormone therapy varies. Many insurance plans cover the evaluation, lab work, and standard HRT formulations (FDA-approved pills, patches, gels). Compounded bioidentical hormones are often not covered. Our team assists with insurance verification so you understand your costs before beginning treatment.
