Menopause & perimenopause treatment in Brandon, FL
Brandon women often tell us they were offered an antidepressant for what turned out to be a hormone problem.
Bioidentical hormone therapy starting at $150/mo — medication, visits, dosing and monitoring. Lab work billed separately at member-discounted rates.HSA/FSA accepted for eligible careMonthly payments with Cherry
Perimenopause starts years before periods stop, and the symptoms — broken sleep, hot flashes, mood swings, brain fog, weight that will not move — are frequently treated one at a time instead of at the source.
Serving Brandon, Bloomingdale, Valrico and FishHawk — about 25 minutes from our Temple Terrace clinic.
Why Brandon patients choose Lavena Health
We start with a full hormone panel rather than a symptom checklist, and Dr. Saleh is A4M-certified in hormone replacement. Treatment is bioidentical, dosed to your own numbers, and priced starting at $150 a month with no insurance involved.
I had an incredible experience with the team at Lavena Health. The office was spotless, the staff was extremely professional, and they were so caring and supportive throughout my entire process. I truly felt heard and guided.
Amazing place! Dr. Saleh is a very patient and kind doctor. They really do help you achieve your goals, and it's honestly a very nice environment.
When the first answer was an antidepressant
Brandon women describe the same pattern: a few years of worse sleep, a shorter fuse and a mind that feels slower, a short appointment, and a prescription for the mood without anyone measuring hormones. Sometimes that medication is exactly right. Sometimes the mood change is one part of a hormonal transition that nobody checked.
We do not ask you to choose between the two. We measure first, and the plan follows the results: hormone therapy when the labs and symptoms line up, a referral or a different approach when they do not.
Starting from Brandon
Book online or call, and we schedule the first in-person visit and labs together. After that, most of the rhythm is rechecks and adjustments, and many of those can be handled by telehealth so you are not crossing town for every conversation.

Brandon has boomed east of Tampa without a matching supply of transparent, physician-run wellness care — most options are either an insurance clinic with 10-minute visits or a med-spa staffed by a technician. Lavena sits just up the road in Temple Terrace, so Brandon, Valrico and Bloomingdale patients get real physician oversight without the drive into downtown Tampa.
Brandon hormone therapy — common questions
Is it perimenopause or depression?
They can look alike — low mood, irritability, poor sleep and trouble concentrating show up in both, and they can happen together. That is why we measure before treating: a full hormone panel alongside thyroid and metabolic markers, and a history that asks when the symptoms started and how they track with your cycle. If the picture points elsewhere, we tell you.
Do I have to stop the medication I am on now?
No. Bring a list of everything you take, including anything for mood or sleep. Your physician reviews it with your results, and nothing you already take is changed without a conversation with you and, where it makes sense, the clinician who prescribed it.
What does hormone therapy cost in Brandon?
Starting at $150 per month, cash-pay, covering your medication, physician visits, dosing and monitoring. Lab work is billed separately — through Quest on your insurance if it covers the panel, or at our member rate — and is always quoted before anything is drawn.
What happens at the first visit?
A conversation about your symptoms, cycle history, personal and family medical history and goals, then the lab draw if it has not been done. When the results are back, the physician goes through them with you and explains whether hormone therapy fits and what the plan would be.
Do I have to drive from Brandon for every appointment?
No. The first visit and lab work are in person at 5340 E 131st Ave, Suite 106 in Temple Terrace, about 25 minutes from Brandon, with free parking and a ground-floor suite. Many follow-ups can be done by telehealth for Florida residents.
