About PRIME Institute

PRIME Institute is a small cash-pay practice in Coral Gables that Pearlman co-founded with Dr. Michelle Pearlman, a gastroenterologist. Pearlman is a urologist, and most of the practice's sexual health pages are written for men. Her women's care is genitourinary syndrome of menopause and low libido, treated with vaginal estrogen, vaginal DHEA and low-dose testosterone, plus non-hormonal drugs like flibanserin and bremelanotide. She tests vaginal pH in the office with a swab and a strip, then retests during treatment to check that the topical hormones are working. Systemic estrogen and progesterone for women is her partner's program, not hers. New out-of-state patients have to be seen in person for the first consultation. She says education is her main mission, so patients understand their own anatomy and hormones before deciding.
