FAQs

  • All your hormone concerns, including premature menopause, surgical menopause, perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause, hormone therapy, sexual health, and post-menopausal concerns like bone health, fatigue, and weight challenges.

  • At this time, I am only accepting patients who are in Texas. If you are outside of Texas and are interested, let me know. I may expand in the near future.

  • New patient visits are 60 minutes in length. If there is any paperwork to complete, you will receive it ahead of time to submit in advance. Together, we decide on your diagnosis and order any necessary testing, lab work, and prescriptions (including HRT) that can be sent to your local pharmacy. A lot of shared decision-making is done along the way. We will collaborate with your primary doctor and any other specialists that may be needed.

  • We prescribe FDA-approved hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that can be sent right to your local commercial pharmacy or online pharmacy you choose. When hormones are not appropriate, non hormonal alternatives will be used.

  • Dr. Brodes’s practice will be cash pay only. 

    At The Balance Point, we value transparency. You will know exactly how much your visits will cost ahead of time. 

    If your insurance plan provides reimbursement for out-of-network providers, Dr. Brode is more than happy to provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Many patients can also use their HSA to reimburse for services.

  • We cannot serve as your primary care clinician or as a general gynecologist. And, since we are virtual, we cannot do physicals, pelvic exams, pap smears, or procedures. However, your local clinicians can certainly continue to help with these in-office tests.

  • New patient visits are 60 minutes in length. We usually schedule a follow-up in 2 months and see you every 2-3 months until you feel amazing!
    Follow-up visits are usually 30 minutes in duration.

    Longer and shorter appointments can be made if needed on a personal basis.

    We always answer your quick questions between visits as well!

    We welcome working with your primary health care team or gynecologist as needed.

  • We get it – plans change. If you need to cancel your appointment, we’ve got you covered:

    • Cancellation: You must cancel your appointment at least 3 days before the scheduled appointment to receive a 50% refund of your consultation fee. The other 50% can be used for credit towards a future appointment for up to one year for the same individual.

    • Reschedule: If the appointment is rescheduled more than 3 days of the appointment, there is no cost.

    • Late Cancellations (within 3 days of the appointment) will not be refunded.

    • Conditions Apply: Refunds and credits are subject to meeting cancellation criteria.

  • I am still happy to see you, but your appointment will still end at the scheduled time. Unfortunately, there is not enough time between appointment for me to run over allotted time.
