What can I expect during the first appointment?

Your first visit is a 60-minute telehealth appointment. We'll take time to understand you, your history, current experience, reproductive context when relevant, and goals. We'll end with an initial clinical impression and a next-step plan.

Follow-up frequency is individualized. Many patients meet more often early in care to build momentum, then transition to a steadier rhythm as stability improves.
