Out-of-Town Options for Treating Female Sexual Dysfunction

With local area patients our first appointment is a 1 ½-hour meeting for diagnosis, during which time a patient meets with the clinical director to give a psycho-sexual history, and with the nurse practitioner for an exam, blood draw and whatever additional tests may be necessary. We then see the patient two weeks later for a follow-up appointment once we've reviewed all bloods, tests, notes, etc.

When a patient is coming from out of town, we prefer to schedule the appointments within a few days of each other so that all the important results will be available for the scheduled follow-up meeting two days later.

If the patient is found to need a hormone regimen, we generally want bloods run in our office every 10 weeks or so. For patients from outside our area, we will make arrangements to work with a lab that is local to the patients. We can have some follow-up done by telephone but at least two to three follow-up appointments during the first year would have to be in person. Later we can taper down.

To summarize, you will need to be in New York for three days and return two to three other times during the year for evaluation and follow-up treatment.
