If you really like your hormone doctor-----

One of the common complaints I hear from women who want to learn more/explore/see a doctor about bioidentical hormone therapy is that they can't find a doctor or a compounding pharmacy. I went to a networking seminar last week, and learned about this relatively new website called Yelp!, it's a site that was developed for people to write reviews about good experiences with local doctors/health care providers, and other businesses that an individual deals with. The keynote speakers at this seminar (they wrote a book on social media and how it can be used to promote or help a business) were very high on this site. I looked into it, and got a free account, and my first review was of my hormone physician, Dr. John Carr in CA. This is what I wrote:

Dr. Carr's practices specializes in utilizing bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. This goes way beyone curing hot flashes or mood swings, properly balanced hormones can add quality years to your life. Dr. Carr takes the time to carefully listen to his patients concerns, issues and questions, and is dedicated to properly balancing hormones using compounded topical medications individualized according to patient needs. His office does not take insurance of any kind, however, I have found him and his staff to be very sensitive to patient financial concerns. He is kind, friendly, compassionate, very accessible and easy to talk to, and his staff friendly and professional. I feel very comfortable entrusting my health care to this physician and I would highly recommend his services to any woman who feels she can benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

Time Magazine lists Yelp! as one of it's Top 10 essential sites. If you have found a hormone physician or compounding pharmacy that you have had a good experience with, consider writing them a positive review on this site. The sign up is free! I'm very big on using social media to educate women about BHRT, as many of you know, I am on Facebook as Holy Hormones, ditto for Twitter, and I can see where sites like this will help women find resources for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

I now have a FACEBOOK Group!

I took the plunge and started my own Facebook Group on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy----click here to join! If you are not a member of Facebook, you can easily sign up for an account. I was somewhat surprised that there weren't several active groups already on Facebook, but the few groups that exist are not terribly active. I hope with this group we can share information about doctors, compounding pharmacy, information websites, our personal experiences (good and bad) and have a few laughs too! Have a great week, everyone ---- I suspect it will be busy for me once the Dr. Phil show airs, I know after the two Oprah shows back in January I had a wonderful time connecting with lots of great women and men about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy!
