Reflections OB/GYN is a small women's health practice in the Viera area of Melbourne, and Badders is one of two nurse practitioners there who take the hormone cases. The practice says the two of them are the only menopause-certified nurse practitioners in Brevard County. Their appointments are booked longer than the usual slot, partly because they also treat men for low hormones. Care starts with in-office blood work to check hormone levels, then bioidentical hormone therapy if your history allows it, taken as a pill or a cream and made up for you at a compounding pharmacy. If you cannot take hormones, they will go through other options with you instead. She also sees women for bladder leaks, and she worked locally as a registered nurse before going back for her nurse practitioner degree.
Dr. Pinsky runs a small concierge family medicine practice for women and their families. Women's health, including hormone care through menopause, is a main part of what she does. Appointments are long and unhurried, and members can reach her directly by phone or email. Virtual visits are available when she approves them, but they add to in-person care and do not replace it. Her background includes a women's health fellowship at UCLA and an integrative medicine fellowship at the University of Arizona. She also says she wants to support the uninsured and under-resourced.
