Hormone Therapy for Men and Women in
Johnson City, TN
Performance Medicine in Johnson City, TN provides physician-led hormone therapy for men and women across the Tri-Cities. For men, we offer testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for low testosterone, addressing symptoms like low energy, reduced libido, loss of strength, and poor sleep. Treatment starts with lab work and a medical evaluation, then a plan built around your levels and symptoms. For women, we offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for hormone imbalance through perimenopause and beyond. We also treat menopause symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, and mood changes, with evidence-based hormone therapy for menopause. Hormone pellet therapy is available at our Johnson City office for patients who prefer a long-acting option over injections or creams: tiny bioidentical hormone pellets are inserted under the skin and release a steady dose over several months. Everything here is overseen by a physician, not a franchise playbook. If you're in Johnson City, Jonesborough, Gray, or anywhere in the Tri-Cities and think your hormones may be off, book an appointment and we'll test, review, and give you a straight answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hormone pellet therapy cost in Johnson City?
Pellet therapy cost depends on the hormone, the dose, and how often pellets need to be reinserted. At our Johnson City clinic, pricing is reviewed with you before anything is scheduled, so you'll know the full cost of an insertion cycle up front. Call the office for current pricing and to see if pellet therapy fits your treatment plan.
How does hormone pellet therapy work?
Hormone pellets are tiny, rice-sized pellets of bioidentical testosterone or estrogen inserted just under the skin in a quick in-office procedure. They dissolve slowly and release a steady dose of hormone over several months, which means no daily pills, creams, or weekly injections. Most patients return for reinsertion a few times a year.
How long do hormone pellets last?
For most women, hormone pellets last about 3 to 4 months before reinsertion is needed. For men, testosterone pellets typically last 4 to 6 months. Your physician will time your follow-up lab work and reinsertion based on your levels and symptoms at your Johnson City visits.
Pellet therapy vs injections for testosterone — which is better?
Both are effective forms of testosterone therapy; the difference is mostly convenience and how steady your levels stay. Injections require regular shots and can cause peaks and valleys, while pellets provide a consistent release for months at a time. Our Johnson City physician reviews your labs, lifestyle, and preferences, then recommends the option that fits you best.
