Heather Pickett is a women's health nurse practitioner at a gynecology-only practice with offices in Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania. Before civilian practice she spent years as a Navy nurse, including labor and delivery work and a deployment to a NATO hospital in Afghanistan. The practice is a Biote certified provider, so hormone therapy here leans heavily on pellets placed under the skin in the office every few months. Oral progesterone is added when needed, filled at either a compounding or a regular pharmacy. Visits are billed to insurance and happen in person, and the practice says it is taking new patients.
Dr. Patel is a gynecologic surgeon who has practiced in Fredericksburg since 2005 and runs a small gynecology office with two nurse practitioners. Menopause care happens in person at the Fredericksburg or Spotsylvania office, and the practice bills insurance. The practice is a Biote provider, so hormone pellets placed under the skin every few months are a main option, with oral progesterone added from a regular or compounding pharmacy. It also sells Biote supplements. Dr. Patel is known locally for robotic hysterectomy, so this is a practical choice if you may also need gynecologic surgery. The office is taking new patients, who book by phone and get a registration link before the first visit.
