Hormone Replacement Therapy

Annapolis Family Medicine is happy to offer Hormone Replacement Therapy ( HRT) through both traditional FDA approved therapy as well as Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). 

Through the use of pellet , transdermal oral or injectable therapy, BHRT utilizes bioidentical preparations to help women both pre- and post -menopause, as well as men with low testosterone.  BHRT has been known to treat syptoms such as depression, low libido, fatigue, brain fog, lack of focus, energy, insomnia, hot flashes, and anxiety. In men this is accomplished with testosterone alone and for women it generally includes testosterone plus estrogen and progesterone. In addition to just feeling better, balancing your hormones has many long term health benefits. The process begins with a consultation with the provider, followed by a comprehensive blood panel and then you return for your treatment plan. At Annapolis Family Medicine we truly believe in whole body wellness and optimal aging so encourage you to call for more information.

Medical Weight Loss

As a patient at Annapolis Family Medicine, you have access to a lot of resources to help you safely lose weight and keep it off for good. 

While the hallmark of weight loss is obtaining and sustaining a healthy lifestyle we appreciate that some people benefit from extra support and that maintaining a healthy weight benefits all aspects of one’s health.  Our providers are well versed in medications and supplements to support healthy weight loss. We offer consultation and if appropriate individualized treatment with multiple options..   We offer access to injectable medications previously offered to only diabetics such as Wegovy ( also known as Ozempic or Semaglutide), or Zepbound (also known as Mounjaro or Tirzepatide) as well as oral treatments such as Phentermine or Contrave. If you are interested in learning more about these drugs and how we can help you lose and maintain weight loss, give us a call to book an appointment. If insurance does not cover these medications, we offer compounded versions that people have had great success with.

Mental Health Care

In collaboration with Kathy Gabriel, PhD,  patients will have access to an annual psychological assessment/consult personalized to the patient.

Annapolis Family Medicine’s Medical Cannabis program has been serving the area since 2018 .

This program was developed as an alternative treatment for chronic and severe medical conditions that have not improved with the traditional medical approach, or for conditions where traditional treatments have harmful or adverse side effects. Our goal is to give patients access to this alternative treatment to help support their journey to an improved quality of life. We have close relationships with local dispensaries and budtenders and can help come up with a customized plan of care.   

While recreationally legal in Maryland there continues to be several benefits of maintaining and or obtaining your certification. Medical patients are able to have access to a wider array of products and dosing, have access to dedicated hours/acces at the dispensaries, and medical patients are able to purchase their medication tax free.  This service is offered to both Annapolis Family Medicine patients as well as outside patients. If you are interested in learning more please reach out at 410-280-9500.

Travel Medicine

We have been providing travel medicine advice in the Annapolis community for over 30 years.

We review carefully the medical risks, and work with the traveler to offer the best guidance based on the latest information.

The greatest risk for international travelers are normally due to insect stings and food or water contamination. Others topics we routinely address are altitude sickness, motion sickness, barotrauma, jet lag and travel related clots or DVTs.

We screen countries of travel for any acute disease, and of course in 2020 we all are away of the dangers of pandemics and the risks to travelers. We have the knowledge of travel risks, the latest information to guide you, and most of the vaccines one would need. Call and set up an appointment to plan for your next adventure.
