a revolutionary hormone replacement therapy for men and women with BioTE®
“When I reached menopause, I didn’t have the same energy as when I was younger and I just wasn’t feeling my best. I was there for my regular checkup and Dr. Karen recommended BioTE. It’s a very simple procedure, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m feeling happier and healthier after two months than I was 10 years ago!”

BioTE™ Therapy FAQ
What is Pellet Therapy?
BioTE® Medical provides training on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in the form of subcutaneous pellets. We offer training on two kinds of pellets: both estradiol and testosterone pellets. These pellets are inserted into the upper buttocks area during an in-office visit, after testing has been done to determine the exact quantity of the hormone the patient requires. Every dose is custom created based on a consultation and extensive lab work to ensure that a patient receives the exact concentration of hormones needed.
Bioidentical hormones, such as the ones used in training by BioTE Medical, work with the chemistry of the body because they replicate the molecular structure of the hormones that normally occur within the body.
How Long Do Pellets Last?
Pellets last three to six months depending on gender, weight, absorption rates, and the amount of deficiency or surplus of hormones present within the patient at the time of insertion. Pellets are reinserted between two to four times per year to help keep hormones optimized and balanced.
