SmartMED is a family owned clinic in Roswell where most care happens at a drive-thru window, though primary care and hormone visits take place inside the building. Melissa Anderson runs the primary care and hormone management side of the practice. She is a member of The Menopause Society and did her hormone training through Harvard certification programs. A hormone visit starts with a symptom and history review, then targeted hormone and thyroid labs, and prescription hormone therapy when it fits, with follow-up labs to track how it is going. The practice runs its own lab arm, so you can pay for panels directly instead of going through insurance. One thing to know is that they do not prescribe controlled substances and will refer you elsewhere for those.
Kathryn Houston goes by Kitty and owns Elite Health HRT, which she also runs as medical director, with clinics in Roswell and the Hickory Flat area of Canton. Care is in person only, and the practice says plainly that it writes no online prescriptions and ships no medication. Hormone therapy here is given as an intramuscular injection, usually every seven to ten days, and a patient can come in for it or take a supply home. The practice will not use hormone pellets and explains why, since a pellet cannot be adjusted or removed once it is in. A new patient starts with a free consultation, has blood drawn in the clinic, and comes back for a second free visit to go through the results. She works with two other family nurse practitioners and the clinic treats men too, so testosterone therapy, GLP-1 weight care and peptides sit alongside the women's hormone work.
