About EmpowHer Women's Health and Wellness

Krystal has worked alongside Dr. Mascorro for more than ten years and was a registered nurse for seven years before that. She is one of three nurse practitioners at EmpowHer in Abilene, where the two obstetrician gynecologists and all the nurse practitioners took Heather Hirsch's hormone course. The practice runs two websites, one for conventional gynecology billed to insurance and one for cash pay wellness and hormone consults. Krystal works on the insurance side and sees patients in person or by video anywhere in Texas. For hormones the team prefers FDA approved estradiol, testosterone and progesterone, and will use compounded medication only if a patient would rather have it. They refuse pellets outright, saying absorption is erratic and the risks are higher than patches or pills.

Conventional gynecology at this office is billed to insurance while the practice runs its wellness and hormone consults as cash pay on a second website, and Medicaid participation varies between providers within Privia Medical Group, so the practice asks patients to confirm it before a visit.

Verified October 2026. Coverage depends on your plan — confirm with your insurer before your visit.
