What Patients Are Saying

Dr Epperly, Just wanted you to know that days after the pellet implants my hot flashes have almost totally disappeared. I have felt great. The addition of the protrium [sic] has made me tired. I will be having my blood test done within the next few weeks and the results will be sent to you. It is like a miracle!!! Thank you

- Lori

Let me start off by saying I feel amazing! This last implant has been the best one yet. I feel so good I have so much energy and no headaches...Thank you for increasing the estrogen. I love it!

Have a good day

- Cindy

My results are nothing short of remarkable, I would say. I have not had a hot flash since the first week. My mood is stable and often pleasant (prior to menopause I was actually often slightly euphoric, and for no reason at all...)...

- Rebecca

Hi Dr. Epperly,

Well, I am feeling much, much better already and I have to say I am so pleasantly surprised and overjoyed! The thing that I have noticed the most, is that I have my energy back. I still have a few hot flashes during the day and at night, but usually they are not as dramatic as before, and I'm hoping with time those may dimisish also.... The insertion site was tender for about 10 days, but nothing excruciating by any means... just a little tender. All is back to normal now....Thanks again.

I found Dr. Epperly after about 4 years of hot flashes, a couple years of disturbed sleep on most night and a short amount of time dealing with the emotional stuff. The major disruption was the hot flashes, they were often and strong. I tried different options and I read about what the best thing was to do, which is replace with bioidentical hormones. I couldn’t find anyone who did that. It was a very frustrating time trying to find help. For the last couple years I’ve been searching for relief as things were not improving at all. I was thrilled to hear about Dr. Epperly. In August ’05 I had the hormone pellets put in and in a short amount of time they began relieving my symptoms. The process was not difficult, and they will last 4-6 months. I went 6 months before needing them again! I am SO thrilled to be without hot flashes. I am normally on the warm side, so going through this was not something I was looking forward to. I am so thankful to have received this help. Thank you big time Dr. Epperly!!

The first time I was approached by Dr. Epperly concerning Pellet therapy, I was skeptical. The hot flashes, irritability, and physical changes made me uncomfortable to say the least. Dr. Epperly explained the therapy and proceeded to explain the procedure when I heard the word, "incision." At that point, I decided this wasn't for me.

A year later while Dr. Epperly was conducting my annual physical, he approached me again regarding Pellet therapy. By this time, I was really suffering with all the symptoms that are a part of menopause. I was beside myself. I decided to be open-minded and was given information to review. Four months later, I made my first appointment and began the therapy. I'm thankful that I did! It has changed my life.

Today, I feel great! The quality of my life has substantially improved and I haven't felt this good in 10 years. I'm so thankful Dr. Epperly approached me the second time. Looking back, I wish I hadn't wasted 16 months.

Hi Dr Epperly,

I just wanted to write and let you know that I tell everyone what a difference the hormones have made in our life. This has been one of the only types of therapies I have ever done that has made such a drastic impact. I just don't understand why people aren't running to you in droves to get the implants. They sure don't know what they are missing out on. I will be setting up my next appointment in early 2006. See you then. Thanks so much,

– Cindy

Since the hormone pellet insertion, I have had positive changes across the board, including changes in my hair. Nice! It’s like my old self come back again.

– Mary A., Bloomingdale

When I came in on September to see Dr. Epperly I was diagnosed with depression, and Dr. Epperly found out about my low testosterone level. After I have had the pellets hormone, I start [sic] feeling stronger and more active sexually, and the relationship between my wife and I are better every day. I thank God and Dr. Epperly for have the opportunity to have a very good Doctor, who knew about my condition and found out the cure for me.

I really recommend any one to not miss the opportunity to find out about his great treatment of hormone pellets insert. I give thanks to God to give me a great Doctor, Dr. Epperly is the best, and the treatment of Hormone pellets. Please do not hesitate, and go for it, don’t worry about your age, if you read this. It may be for a reason.

I must say that I am pleased so far. I had some doubts I must confess but not anymore. My hot flashes/night sweats have basically disappeared. I now go for days without one! I am sleeping better at night, not getting up as much. I do think moods are better and hopefully will continue to get better… You got yourself another long term client and I am passing the word. Look forward to seeing you then and THANKS SO MUCH!!

- Susan

I love these pellets! I feel great! Hot flashes – gone. Night sweats – gone. Insomnia – almost gone. Moodiness – almost gone, check with Bob. Vaginal dryness – gone. The pleasant surprise was weight gain of only 4 pounds and hopefully that is it. An unpleasant, but not total surprise, is spotting and minor hormonal acne. … I’ll be back to see you, when I feel the pellets are starting to where [sic] off. Thanks Dr. Epperly.

- Linda, West Chicago

For several years, I have taken multiple supplements to manage perimenopausal symptoms: hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, low libido, depression, low energy, etc. Three weeks ago, I had hormone pellets inserted. I stopped taking all the extra supplements for symptoms. The pellets are managing all of them and my energy as well as my libido has increased. I will certainly be recommending the treatment to others. I feel the most like my former self than I have for a long time.

I’ve been on almost all prescription hormone treatments that have been available over the past 15 years. Never have I felt as balanced as I do now that I’ve begun using the hormone pellets. Not only do I not have the emotional ups and downs, physically there is balance in that I have no hot flashes, skin problems, bloating, etc. I’m SO grateful to find something so natural and simple that works so well with my body. My usually sensitive system accepts this treatment well without any adverse side effects. What a blessing!

- Esther P., Aurora

I can’t imagine life without my pellets. The difference when they wore off at about 5 ½ months was simply amazing. I took for granted how good the pellets made me feel.

- Judy C., Hanover Park

I feel much better in many ways, my energy improved. I’m not as easily irritated. Mood swings are almost all gone. I’m able to sleep and relax. Together all this took all (almost) my cravings for chocolate and sweets away. My husband is as excited as I am with my interest in sex again. This has made me a happier person all together. I’m sure there is other things that have improved that I’m not thinking of because they are not an issue anymore. It all makes sense one thing improves like sleep and the rest kind of follows. I recommend pellets, it’s worth a try, it worked great for me.

- Tina W.

My experience with pellets was a very positive one. I feel so much better. I have more energy, sex drive, and emotionally more stable. I also like the fact its not a daily dose of hormones. It’s only once every 4-6 months.

- DW

I received the hormone pellet implants about 1 month ago. My experience has been so positive. I have suffered from hot flashes, night sweats, sleeplessness, for about six years. Within 2 weeks of receiving the implants I was symptom free! I sleep soundly and I can wear sweaters again (no more dressing in layers because I get too hot!) I highly recommend this procedure – it was painless and has really helped me.

- JM

I love the pellet therapy. Quite a difference!!!

- TW

I am generally pleased with the pellets. My mood is much better, and I have some more energy. My estrogen level is good after being low for some time with other therapies. I am hoping this will help my osteoporosis. The procedure was simple and well worth it.

- no name

I felt a difference in 10 days. More relaxed. More energy to do things. Not as easily irritated. More interested in sex. Blood pressure went down. Not as much cravings. Lost some weight.

I am post-6 weeks of having pellet implant. I have not had any hot flashes since that time, which I had had since 1982 after a radical hysterectomy. My love life has also started to reawaken. Thank you.

- Trish

I’m 50 years old, newly married and happy with the changes the pellets have made. The insertion was simple and felt like a “bruise” as it healed. I am feeling much more relaxed, getting good, restful sleep with no more hot flashes. My libido is back to normal and I’m more like my old “younger” self.

- Debbie

I am pleased with the results of my hormone replacement therapy [pellet implants]. I am feeling much less anxious and able to handle stresses both at home and work. I have a noticeable increase in energy and I'm readily able to get out of bed and walk (for exercise) in the morning before work. My depression is also reduced. I believe it has been offset by increased energy.

- SLD, May 2005

After suffering from major hot flashes for four or five years. I tried about every product for hot flashes that existed over the counter. Plus a variety of natural products from GNC and other health food stores. Which amounted to 50-60 dollars per month and got very little relief if any. Then on one visit to Dr. he recommended the pellet procedure. It was very easy (only a pin prick of pain). In about one & 1/2 weeks, I got relief which lasted ten or eleven months. It was well worth it and I had no side effects at all.

- GM, May 2005

Hello, Dr. Epperly,

Thanks for the information. I have been feeling remarkably better. I seem to have so much more energy now, for which I am so grateful! I also feel stronger than before.

When do I make the next appointment?

Thank you so much!

- Rita

Dr. Epperly,

I've been feeling better! I have not been getting the headaches, the night sweats have subsided, and I have been enjoying more energy! Thank you for the test results and for your help.

- Karen

Dr. Epperly,

After many years of dealing with no sex drive and having no physical stamina, you have rescued me! Within two weeks of my testosterone insertion, I was "in the mood" :) . I was also able to be more physically active without feeling immediate total exhaustion and muscle burn. My mood has improved greatly - less stressed/anxious/irritable. I'm able to look at life more positively.

I'll be back for more!!

- Sue

Dear Dr. Epperly,

It has been a week now since my second pellet insertion. I want to let you know that I am feeling really well again and my energy has returned. I was feeling very unmotivated and tired before the insertion. I learned that I won't wait quite as long before the next pellet insertion.

I am so very pleased about getting the hormones that are exactly right for me. It is very nice to get the hormones and then forget about it for 4-6 months. The pellet insertion is painless and I like the convenience of the pellet replacement and not have to remember ordering the creme every month and then remember to apply it every day. This way I don't even have to think about it for several months.

I am confident that this hormone treatment is 100% safe with no side effects. How good is that?!! I'm glad to be able to share this good news with others.

Thank you, Dr. Epperly!!

- Rita

I like the pellet therapy very well. It has gotten rid of my hot flashes and night sweats, has improved my sleeping and my thinking is better. I am very happy with the pellet therapy, and would recommend it to all my female relatives and friends.

- Vera M., Chicago

Pellet therapy has been very helpful in establishing a regular sleep pattern for me. I feel more rested so I have more energy, of course. Since I was also experiencicng hot flashes during the day, I am very happy to say I no longer need to worry about that.
