HRT here means estrogen, sometimes paired with a progestogen, prescribed for menopause symptoms; TRT means testosterone for men whose low level traces to a diagnosed medical cause.
Before the first Orlando appointment
Run the prescriber's name through the Florida Board of Medicine license search before you pay anything [4]. Then ask the clinic two things: who reads your lab results, and whether the quoted price covers them. Florida law adds one more filter. Section 817.505 makes patient brokering a felony, so nobody may pay or take kickbacks for steering patients to a provider, outside the exceptions the statute lists [5]. That rule is part of why paid sponsor placements on this site carry a label.
Sponsored placement: open.
One local practice can be featured here. This is a paid, labeled placement and never an endorsement.

Label news Orlando patients will hear about
Three risks left the menopause hormone boxed warning under a plan HHS announced in November 2025: heart disease, breast cancer and probable dementia [6]. Endometrial cancer did not. That box stays on systemic estrogen-alone products [6]. FDA signed off on the first revised labels on February 12, 2026 [7]. The new wording favors a start before 60, or inside 10 years of the last period, and leaves the timing call to patient and prescriber [6].
Orlando is young by Florida standards: Census data put only 11.3% of residents at 65 or older [3]. Women past 60 still ask about HRT, and for them the start-date language deserves a frank talk with a clinician who has their full history. Our page on finding a menopause specialist lists questions to bring.

Pellets and custom compounds
Orlando clinics that sell pellets or custom creams are selling compounded products. Those are not FDA-approved, and FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality [16]. When the National Academies studied compounded bioidentical hormones, it found too little evidence of clinical value and said prescribers should reserve them for people allergic to an ingredient in an approved drug or needing a form no approved product offers [9]. The Menopause Society flags doses that run too high or too low, impurities and thin safety data [10]. Read up on bioidentical hormones and pellet pricing first.
Men weighing testosterone in Orlando
FDA approves testosterone for men whose low level has a medical cause, such as primary or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism; the label says benefit and safety in age-related decline are unproven [11]. The American Urological Association wants a total testosterone under 300 ng/dL on a first draw and again on a repeat, with symptoms to match [12]. In 2025 the class labels lost their cardiovascular boxed warning and gained a blood pressure warning [13]. Online programs post $99 to $199 a month [14] [15]; line them up on our online TRT comparison.
Elsewhere in Florida: Tampa hormone care, Sarasota and Miami. The hormone therapy hub covers every option.
What still carries a warning
Systemic estrogen taken without a progestogen keeps its endometrial cancer box [6]. On testosterone gel, the boxed warning concerns children who touched the application site and developed virilization [11]. Any testosterone product can push blood pressure up [13]. For chest pain, sudden breathlessness or stroke signs, call 911.
