What to Expect When You Work With Dr. Anat Sapan
Not sure where to start? Here is exactly what happens from your first conversation to feeling like yourself again.
As a solo practitioner I have one focus: you. No rotating staff, no handoffs, no one reading your chart for the first time when you call. Every fee is transparent and all-inclusive so you always know exactly what you are paying and what you are getting.
Step 1: Your Complimentary Discovery Call
A real conversation with no pressure and no commitment. We talk through your symptoms, your history, and what you have already tried. You ask your questions and I give you honest answers. By the end you will know whether my approach is right for you and exactly what comes next.
Most women say they leave feeling heard for the first time in years.

Step 2: Your Health Questionnaire
Before your onboarding session you will receive a comprehensive questionnaire through BRITE. It takes about 20 to 25 minutes and is where you share your health history, current medications, supplements, and any recent lab work. Having this complete before we meet means our time together is focused entirely on you and your protocol.
Step 3: Your Onboarding Session
This is where your care begins. We go through your full symptom picture, health history, and goals in depth. I review your labs and order any additional testing needed.
I believe deeply that hormone therapy works best when supported by four foundational pillars: sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management. Hormones are the foundation. These four pillars are what make the results last and what help you truly thrive rather than just feel better. I encourage every patient to explore and strengthen these areas alongside their protocol.
Step 4: Your Custom Protocol
Based on your symptoms, history, and labs, I build a dosing protocol unique to your body. Your hormones are custom-compounded in 100% organic jojoba oil with no fillers, dyes, or synthetic preservatives. Most protocols include two types of estrogen, estriol and estradiol, real bioidentical progesterone, and testosterone. DHEA is added when indicated. I use a titrating approach, increasing doses incrementally each week so your levels build gradually and comfortably.
One More Thing Worth Knowing: Your Thyroid
If your thyroid is off, your hormones will not work optimally no matter how well your protocol is calibrated. The two systems are deeply interconnected and addressing both together is part of how I get results faster.
In addition to bioidentical hormone therapy I offer personalized evaluation and support for thyroid and related conditions. If thyroid issues are part of your picture we address them as part of your overall care rather than sending you elsewhere to start over.
Step 5: What Most Women Experience
Every woman is different. Some follow this timeline closely. Others take longer and that is completely normal. Factors like how long hormones have been depleted, thyroid function, stress levels, and overall health all affect how quickly you respond. What matters is that we keep adjusting until you get there.
Weeks 1 and 2: Your body is adjusting. Some women notice small shifts in sleep or mood. Others feel nothing yet. Both are normal.
Weeks 2 to 4: The first signs appear. Sleep often improves first. Mood begins to stabilize. Hot flashes start to reduce.
Weeks 4 to 6: Energy returns. Brain fog lifts. Most women feel the momentum building.
Weeks 6 and beyond: Most patients feel 80% better around this point. Sleep is better. Mood is stable. Energy has returned. Most women say they feel like themselves again for the first time in years. For some it takes a little longer and we stay the course together until you get there.
Step 6: Ongoing Support
This is not a set it and forget it prescription. Because my model is all-inclusive and concierge-based, you can make as many appointments as you need with no additional fees. If something does not feel right, we address it. You always have direct access to me, not a nurse line, not a portal message that takes three days to get a response. I am your dedicated partner at every step. Annual 24-hour urine hormone testing is included for menopausal patients.
Why This Is Different From What You Have Tried Before
Insurance-based care is built around what is fast and reimbursable, not what is best for you. This practice is built around the opposite. You get timely follow-ups, protocols that are adjusted as your body responds, and a doctor who actually has time to think about your case. That is what concierge means, and it is what makes the difference between feeling okay and feeling like yourself again.
