I've been seeing Jennifer for years for hormone replacement therapy. If you're struggling with hormone or testosterone symptoms and you're tired of being told everything looks normal, go see Jennifer at Jewell.

Symptoms that bring Denham Springs patients in
Most people do not walk in asking for a hormone. They walk in because sleep stopped working, the afternoon crash became permanent, workouts stopped paying off, or their mood no longer matches their life. Those are the patterns we listen for first.
Women often describe night sweats, cycle changes, brain fog, low libido, and weight that settles differently than it used to. Men more often describe flat energy, lost strength, poor recovery, and irritability. Both sets of symptoms overlap with thyroid issues, iron deficiency, sleep apnea, and stress, which is why we test before we treat.
We test first
A hormone panel plus thyroid, metabolic, and blood count markers so we treat the actual cause rather than a guess.
A physician sets dosing
Dr. Dan Butler, Medical Director, reviews every plan, sets the starting dose, and adjusts based on follow up labs and how you feel.
Pellets, injections, or creams
There is no single best delivery method. Pellets suit people who want steady levels and hate remembering a schedule. Injections give the most precise control and the easiest adjustments. Creams and troches are useful at low doses and for patients who want to start conservatively.
We walk through the trade offs at your consultation, including how often you would come in, what monitoring looks like, and what happens if we need to change course. The Menopause Society is clear that therapy should be individualized to symptoms, age, and personal risk, and that is how we build a plan.
Right here in Denham Springs
Our clinic sits at 2626 S Range Ave, Suite 200, minutes from Bass Pro Shops and the Range Avenue corridor, so an appointment fits between school pickup in Live Oak and errands off Florida Boulevard. Patients coming from Watson and Magnolia Beach reach us without touching I-12 traffic.
Because we are a local independent clinic and not a national telehealth brand, your pellet insertion, your lab draw, and your dose adjustment all happen with people who know your chart. That continuity is the reason most of our hormone patients came from a neighbor's recommendation.
What your first months look like
- Step 1
Consultation and labs
A full history, symptom review, and blood draw. We explain which markers matter and what we expect to see.
- Step 2
Plan review
Dr. Butler reviews your results, then we go over the recommended method, dose, cost, and monitoring schedule before anything starts.
- Step 3
Start treatment
Pellet insertion takes a short in office visit. Injections and topicals start the same day in most cases.
- Step 4
Recheck and adjust
Follow up labs and a symptom review guide the next dose. Response builds over weeks, not overnight, and individual results vary.
Cost and insurance, said plainly
Monthly cost depends on the method you choose, your dose, and how much lab work you need. Some plans cover office visits and labs while treating compounded hormones as self pay. We give you the full number for your specific plan at consultation, before you commit to anything.
We do not publish a single price for hormone therapy because a woman starting a low dose topical and a man on a monitored testosterone protocol are not on the same plan.
