Hormone Therapy & PRP Treatments in West Palm Beach
At our West Palm Beach office at 3472 Forest Hill Blvd, Suite 3B, Dr. Shahnaz Akhter offers hormone therapy and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatments alongside the rest of her internal medicine practice — lab-based, physician-supervised, and coordinated with the rest of your medical care rather than run as a separate program.
Hormone therapy, explained
Hormones regulate everything from energy and metabolism to mood and sleep, and levels can shift with age, thyroid function, and other medical conditions. Hormone therapy at Serenity By A Dr. Sareen starts with lab work ordered by your provider, not a symptom checklist — your plan is built around what your labs actually show, and it's reviewed and adjusted at follow-up visits as your levels change. Patients who only want to understand a thyroid result first can start with the thyroid blood tests guide.
PRP treatments, explained
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma — a concentrated preparation drawn from a small sample of your own blood, then administered in-office by your provider as part of your treatment plan. Because it uses your own blood, there's no risk of an allergic reaction to a foreign substance. Your provider will walk you through whether PRP is an appropriate option for your specific situation before any treatment begins.
What's included
- A physician-ordered lab panel before any hormone therapy begins
- A treatment plan built around your individual results, not a standard protocol
- PRP preparation and administration performed in-office by your provider
- Scheduled follow-up visits to monitor your levels and adjust the plan as needed
- Coordination with the rest of your care if you also manage a chronic condition
Who considers hormone therapy or PRP
Patients come to this conversation from different directions — some are already being followed for a thyroid or metabolic issue and want to understand their options, others are referred into it after labs ordered for an unrelated visit come back outside the expected range. Either way, nothing starts without that lab work, and nothing is assumed about what your results mean until your provider reviews them with you directly.
After your first visit
If hormone therapy or PRP is recommended, your provider schedules a follow-up to check how you're responding and to repeat labs where relevant — treatment here is not a one-time decision but an ongoing plan reviewed at each visit, the same way a chronic condition would be managed.
One practice, your whole health picture
Hormone therapy and PRP are offered as part of Dr. Akhter's internal medicine practice, not a stand-alone clinic. If you're already being seen for a chronic condition, high blood pressure, or routine primary care, that history is part of the same chart your provider reviews before recommending — or adjusting — a hormone or PRP plan.

What is hormone therapy and who is it for?
Hormone therapy addresses hormone levels identified through lab work — thyroid, metabolic, and other markers your provider reviews before recommending a plan. It's not a fixed program; your provider tailors it to your specific results and reassesses it at follow-up visits as your levels change over time.
What does a PRP treatment involve?
A small blood sample is drawn and processed into a concentrated platelet preparation, then administered in-office by your provider during the same visit. Your provider will discuss whether PRP fits your situation and what to expect beforehand, so there are no surprises when you come in for treatment.
Do I need lab work before starting hormone therapy?
Yes — hormone therapy at our West Palm Beach office always starts with a physician-ordered lab panel. Your provider reviews the results with you before recommending any treatment, and labs are repeated at follow-up visits to confirm the plan is still right for you.
Does insurance cover hormone therapy and PRP treatments?
Coverage varies by plan and by the reason for treatment — the evaluation visit itself is typically billed like any other office visit. Call (561) 473-9044 and our staff can confirm your specific benefits before you schedule, so you know what to expect.
Does Serenity By A Dr. Sareen accept Medicare and Medicaid?
Yes. Serenity By A Dr. Sareen accepts Medicare and Medicaid, along with major commercial insurance, at our South Florida offices. Call (561) 473-9044 and our staff will confirm your specific plan and any coverage details before scheduling your hormone therapy or PRP evaluation.
