Answers to Your Health & Wellness Questions

Dr. Rose now sees patients within Snyder Dermatology & Plastic Surgery and Wellness in central Austin. While telemedicine is available, virtual visits are typically reserved for follow-up care, as Dr. Rose values the opportunity to meet with patients in person whenever possible. Accommodations can be made for patients traveling from outside the Austin area. Because Dr. Rose is licensed to practice medicine in Texas, telemedicine is available only to patients located in Texas at the time of their visit.

No, you do not need a referral. Rose Medical is a consultative Integrative and Functional Medicine practice.

Office visits are self-pay and we do not bill insurance for physician services. Insurance may be used for laboratory testing when applicable, or patients may choose available practice-price lab options. HSA/FSA funds may also be used for eligible healthcare expenses. We accept cash and all major credit cards.

Hormone health doesn't exist in isolation. As we age, changes in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and other hormones often occur alongside changes in metabolism, cardiovascular health, body composition, and bone health.That's why I look beyond hormone levels alone. Evaluation may include cardiometabolic markers, thyroid and liver function, and other factors that influence how hormones are produced, metabolized, and cleared. When clinically appropriate, advanced testing such as DUTCH hormone metabolite testing or stool analysis may provide additional insight. The goal is to understand the bigger picture and use that information to guide thoughtful, individualized treatment.

After your initial evaluation and treatment plan are complete, follow-up visits are scheduled as needed to monitor your progress, review treatment response, and make adjustments as your health and needs change. Ongoing care may be provided in person or through telemedicine when appropriate.

Yes! In conjunction with a guided and supported weight loss program, I prescribe semaglutide and tirzepatide injections to be administered at home.

1.      Yes. Peptide therapies may be considered when clinically appropriate as part of an individualized treatment plan. Because peptides vary considerably in their evidence, regulatory status, potential benefits, and risks, Dr. Rose evaluates each therapy individually and discusses these considerations with you before prescribing. Peptide therapy is not appropriate for every patient.
