Optimized Hormones has been a Godsend to me, especially dealing with Whitney in the office and with Larry as my very experience and thorough HRT provider. I left their practice to pursue cheaper treatments through my GYN provider but just didn't feel as good and as stable, or as supported, as I have with Optimized Hormones. I cannot say enough great things about Whitney's communication or Larry's fast responses through my patient portal. They know what they're doing and they are worth checking out -- and staying with!! I am so very grateful to them and happy to be feeling like my old self at age 65!![]()

I can't say enough good things about Dr Gershon. I feel blessed to be able to have him as one of my providing doctors. He truly takes his time, listens carefully, and never makes you feel rushed or overlooked. What really stands out is not just his unbelievable knowledge, but his commitment to staying up to date and continuing to educate himself on all services he offers. He’s a true expert in his field. It gives me so much confidence knowing I'm in the hands of someone who genuinely cares about providing the best possible care to his patients and makes sure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. It's rare to find a doctor you can fully trust. As a nurse practitioner myself, I can honestly say he’s a provider that providers want to go to. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate, thorough, and highly skilled doctor.![]()

Dr. Greshon is an outstanding doctor who truly listens to your needs and tailors his care to help you feel like yourself again before menopause. I’ve been with him for a few years now, and my pre-menopause and menopause symptoms have completely disappeared under his care. He does an excellent job maintaining that balance, and I highly recommend him.![]()

Dr. Gershon is an outstanding physician. He truly listens and takes the time to understand my concerns, and I never feel rushed during appointments. He explains everything clearly and thoroughly, which gives me a lot of confidence in my care. After reviewing my labs, he helped me implement targeted supplements and practical lifestyle changes that have made a real difference in my health. It is clear he genuinely cares about his patients and takes a thoughtful, personalized approach. Whitney and Erika at the practice are amazing as well. They are always available, extremely careful, and very thoughtful, which makes the entire experience seamless. Highly recommend Dr. Gershon and his team to anyone looking for a doctor who actually listens and delivers results.![]()

I didn’t realize how important hormone regulation was to my overall health until I started being seen at Optimized Hormones. The experience has been incredibly informative and helpful. My provider took the time to answer all of my questions and thoroughly address any concerns I had. I left feeling much more confident and knowledgeable about the next steps in my health journey. I highly recommend Optimized Hormones to anyone who is considering it or unsure if it’s the right choice for them.![]()
