Bioidentical hormones in Burlington: what it means
Behind the label "bioidentical hormone replacement therapy" is a plain idea: a hormone whose structure matches the body's own. Two hormones used in menopause care fit it exactly, estradiol and micronized progesterone. FDA-approved versions of both are sold by prescription at retail pharmacies.
"BHRT" often means compounded hormones, a cream, a blend such as Bi-Est or a pellet that a pharmacy mixes for one prescription. They are not FDA-approved, which means the FDA cannot assure their safety or effectiveness. The FDA says it has no evidence that compounded "bioidentical hormones" are safe and effective, or more effective than FDA-approved hormone therapy. The National Academies, reviewing them for the FDA in 2020, called their wide use a public health concern.
You do not choose a "bioidentical" product from a menu: after a private intake, a physician licensed in Vermont decides what, if anything, fits, and the form. VevaMD does not offer pellets. Since the pharmacy that fills these prescriptions also compounds, ask whether yours is an FDA-approved product or compounded. Two options are compounded for certain: testosterone cream for women and Bi-Est are not FDA-approved.
The NPI registry counts 54 OB-GYNs practicing in Burlington, about 120.9 for every 100,000 residents against 17.8 nationally and above Vermont's 21.2, a higher rate than 98% of the cities VevaMD covers. Set against the city's 3,398 women aged 45 to 64, that is one OB-GYN for roughly every 60.
Counting the area around it, 82 OB-GYNs practice in Burlington or within 10 miles and 102 within 25 miles: 38.0 for every 100,000 of the 268,284 people who live within 25 miles, a dense supply. VevaMD is an online option alongside them: a physician licensed in Vermont reviews your intake from Burlington without an office visit, and an OB-GYN you already see stays your doctor.
A pellet clinic is a different model: it implants a hormone pellet under the skin during a visit, and compounded pellets are not FDA-approved. The Endocrine Society points to a study that found hormone levels well above the expected range in women using them. ACOG's guidance is to prefer FDA-approved menopause hormone therapy to compounded hormones.

About 3,398, or 7.6% of residents (Census ACS, 2019 to 2023). That share is below the statewide 13.6% and the lowest of the 5 Vermont cities we cover.

Is bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) available in Burlington?
From home in Burlington: a physician licensed in Vermont reviews a private intake and decides whether estradiol, with progesterone if you have a uterus, fits. Compounded "BHRT" creams and pellets are not FDA-approved.
What is the difference between this and BHRT pellets?
A pellet clinic implants a hormone pellet under the skin during an office visit; compounded pellets are not FDA-approved. Through VevaMD there is no procedure: a pill, patch, cream or vaginal form ships to Burlington if your physician prescribes it. Some forms VevaMD's physicians prescribe are compounded as well; ask which yours is.
