About SPOKEmed

SPOKEmed is Michelle Middleton's own telemedicine practice, which she founded in 2024 after years in orthopedics and a move into weight and hormone care in 2020. She is the only clinician there, so every consultation and treatment plan is hers, and patients can reach her directly between visits. Care starts with a short exploration call, then lab work and a plan that may mix hormone therapy, weight medication, nutrition and coaching. She prefers FDA-approved bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, keeps compounded troches and creams for the cases where nothing commercial fits, and refuses pellets because the dose cannot be adjusted or removed. Advanced testing such as DUTCH hormone panels, stool analysis and genetic reports is available when symptoms are confusing, though she says most women can start hormone therapy on symptoms and history alone. Prescription care runs in Florida and New York, while the coaching side is open to women anywhere in the country.

Cost and insurance

Insurance

Doesn’t accept insurance

Ask whether they provide receipts for out-of-network reimbursement.

Self-pay

Available — prices aren’t published, ask for rates

  • Free consultation
  • HSA and FSA accepted

Visits are direct-pay and an FSA or HSA card can be used, while lab testing is often billed to insurance by the lab itself, so lab coverage depends on the patient's own plan.
