BHRT Program Details

BHRT Program Details

In our practice, Dr. Casad and Nurse Practitioner Melissa Lang offer BHRT programs which will focus on targeting the root cause of your symptoms. We encourage all of our patients to preserve and promote long-term wellness by taking proactive measures toward achieving optimal health.

Our knowledge and understanding helps to design the right protocol of hormone balance, nutrition, supplement support, weight management, and if indicated, food sensitivity testing. Our Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy programs are a comprehensive, overall approach to health and wellness.

Services included in BHRT Programs

  • Physician or Nurse Practitioner consultations. All of your appointments will include a comprehensive medical evaluation.
  • Customized Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. Your bioidentical hormones will be uniquely prescribed based on your symptoms and lab results.

Each patient will receive 3 – 4 consultations during their first year to ensure that they are progressing and to make any needed adjustments to ensure all hormones are well balanced. During the second and subsequent years, each patient will go on a maintenance plan and receive consultations biannually. Labs are done prior to each consultation to monitor progress.

Nurse Practitioner Lang focuses on individualized one-on-one patient care. With a deep knowledge of the problems and issues that both women and men experience, she is able to provide a profound understanding about the causes of your symptoms and the best way to address them. 

NP Lang makes the investment of time to get to know her patients, their concerns, symptoms, and history. Her approach is different than what you may be used to. She takes the time with her patients to listen to concerns and thoroughly investigate [based on actual lab results and symptoms] for solutions to the problems that will improve quality of life.

NP Lang will go over all of your test results in detail and work with you on an individualized treatment plan and any follow-up to be done. Your concerns are listened to and can be addressed to work towards long-term wellness.

DR. CONNIE CASAD BHRT PROGRAM

Dr. Casad is still taking new patients, but she tends to be booked out quite far. So to be able to offer better service to new patients and not have them wait 2 months to get in to see her, Nurse Practitioner Lang follows the same protocols as Dr. Casad and has appointments available with little to no wait. Dr. Casad does supervise and oversee her cases, so in addition to having a highly skilled and long experienced Nurse Practitioner working with you, you will also have Dr. Casad overseeing your care.

WE OFFER TWO LAB OPTIONS FOR ALL PATIENTS:

  • Option 1 – Patient will present their insurance card to the laboratory at time of service. The lab will directly bill the patient’s insurance company. Additionally, the patient is responsible for verifying lab benefits specific to their own policy and prior to any lab draw.
  • Option 2 – For those patients who are cash-pay or who have high deductibles, etc., LabCorp offers Melissa’s patients an outstanding discount. The initial comprehensive lab panel is $275 and additional or follow-up lab fees are just $175. Many patients find that it’s more economical to pay for labs out of pocket especially if they have high co-pays or deductibles.

 

Starting as a New Patient

Once you schedule your first appointment, our office will email you your health questionnaire and your lab order. We ask that you complete your health questionnaire no later than one week prior to your first visit so that we can be prepared for our visit with you.

We also ask that you have your labs drawn no later than two weeks prior to your appointment so adequate time is allowed for the results to get to our office. If you are female and still having a regular menstrual cycle (and are not on birth control pills), you should have your labs drawn between day 19 and 21 of your cycle.

At your first appointment, we will go over your health history, concerns, symptoms, and goals. We will also interpret your lab results with you and discuss a treatment plan based on your individual symptoms and lab results.

Your first appointment is also your prescribing appointment and we can write prescriptions at this time. We offer a variety of hormone application methods including capsules, creams, troches, and pills. If you choose to use pellets, we will get your first pellet inserted at this visit as well.

About Our Providers

Connie Casad, M.D.

For over three decades, Dr. Casad has provided the best possible medical care for her patients. Her practice is built on a foundation of serving, caring, and staying up to date on the latest research and technology in health and wellness.

After receiving her Bachelor’s of Science degree from Southwestern University, Dr. Casad received her medical degree at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. She completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at St. Paul Medical Center in Dallas. Dr. Casad is Board-Certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and holds a Fellowship with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. She’s also a member of the Dallas Medical Society.

Dr. Casad launched her gynecology practice at St. Paul Hospital in 1986. It wasn’t long before she found that many of her patients were also asking her for help with issues relating to aging. Dr. Casad then became the first female gynecologist in Dallas to branch out into aesthetics. Following this, she also extended her services even further to include addressing the hormonal imbalance symptoms, weight gain, and other issues that she found so prevalent with her patients.

Over the years, Dr. Casad has continually trained herself in the specialty of functional medicine, reading scores of books, extensive research studies, attending countless seminars and educational programs, all to fully educate herself on how to help her patients, including the expert use of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Dr. Casad now focuses her practice on preserving and improving the quality of her patients’ lives through Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Concierge Medicine. 

Melissa Lang, W.H.N.P., B.C. 

Melissa Lang is an experienced and dedicated Healthcare Nurse Practitioner, offering Functional Medicine and Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy services through our office. Her initial education was completed at Grayson College in Denton, which gave her the opportunity to become a labor and delivery nurse in Tyler at Mother Frances Hospital. While serving in this capacity, a well-respected OB/GYN took notice of her special gifts with patients and helped arrange a full scholarship for her to advance her training through the Women’s Healthcare Nurse Practitioner program at UT Southwestern in Dallas.

After completing her degree in 1997, she joined her respected mentor in his group practice. For the next sixteen years until his retirement in 2013, she worked under his supervision as she built her own practice of over 4,000 loyal patients who relied on her for gynecological care and wise counsel in multiple areas of women’s health, helping women to improve their health and wellness by teaching about lifestyle modification, nutrition, and weight loss management.

Melissa Lang grew up in Fort Worth and after practicing in Colorado, returned home to Texas. She has now been working alongside Dr. Connie Casad in Dallas for several years, learning her protocols and gaining so much knowledge. Melissa realizes the importance and difference that Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy can make for so many of her patients. At Dr. Casad’s office, Melissa is able to use her compassion and expertise to help many others achieve a greatly improved quality of life. 

Melissa’s functional medicine/whole-body approach includes BHRT and long-term solutions for health and wellness for both men and women, which includes nutrition and lifestyle changes, so that her patients can experience optimal wellness. Like Dr. Casad, Melissa believes that teaching is an integral part of every patient relationship and looks forward to the opportunity to meet and serve patients who are seeking long-term solutions promoting wellness and a healthier life!
