HER  Place ^® Services

HER  Place ® is not meant to replace your primary care physician for ongoing, routine health problems. Our consultative practice is designed to give you an integrated picture of your health — to show you how all the pieces of your “health puzzle” fit together.

We’ll offer you suggestions as to how you can meet your wellness goals, even if we may not necessarily provide all the services you need. Most medical offices schedule several appointments in the same hour, with the result that that doctors have little time to spend with each patient. We schedule only one person per appointment period; also, since our health care appointments are much longer than the average doctor’s visit, we’re able to more closely identify your needs and determine how they can be met.

Comprehensive Hormone Evaluation Package

Our Comprehensive Hormone Evaluation provides an in-depth picture of your overall health. The evaluation process takes several hours and consists of laboratory studies to check hormone levels and other critical measures, and intensive follow-up consultations, assessments, and recommendations.

Each component we examine will help us identify the true causes of your symptoms and determine a medically sound health enhancement plan. If you’d like us to continue working with you in your “journey to hormone health,” we’ll then prescribe medications and monitor your progress.

You may ask your doctor for a referral for our services, but a referral is not required.

Our hormone evaluation package includes the following:

Comprehensive Lab Work

To understand what you need, we must know where you are now. We begin the whole evaluation process by checking your current ovarian, adrenal, and thyroid hormone levels, as well as many other health measures. If you are still menstruating, tests will be performed at specific times during your menstrual cycle, since their results should be interpreted in the context of your cycle. All this testing and analysis will help us in the effort to balance your body chemistry and establish optimal hormone levels. Not only are optimal hormone levels important to your overall health, but specific hormone levels are crucial to the preservation of bone density and heart and brain health, for example.

Health Risk Assessment

We’ll identify health risks from the information you provide us in your initial history forms, from our consultation, and from your test results. Future appointments will focus on helping you reduce these identified health risks. Areas of emphasis include:

• Reducing the risk factors for heart disease and cancer
• Managing your stress
• Eating for optimal energy
• Losing weight in a safe, healthy way

Comprehensive Consultation

Once your initial labs and evaluations have been completed, you will meet with Dr. Vliet one to one and review your lab work and medical history, talk about your symptoms and concerns, and discuss the best treatment options. Together, you and Dr. Vliet will also determine your health enhancement plan. If appropriate, Dr. Vliet will provide prescriptions.

Pricing

The price of our services begins at approximately $3,935 and can be higher, depending upon the time involved and individual patient concerns.
