Functional & Longevity Medicine · Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

What do patients say about BHRT and functional & longevity medicine with Dr. Sonya?

“Since starting hormone therapy with Dr. Sonya, I'm sleeping 7 to 8 hours a night for the first time in years, and I feel stronger, more energized, and like myself again.”

— Evelyn, 65Redwood City, CA

“Dr. Sonya has played a pivotal role in my life these past several months, helping me feel like myself again. Despite being told by my primary doctor that my labs looked normal and that I was too early for perimenopause, I knew something wasn't right. From the very beginning, Dr. Sonya understood exactly why I was having these symptoms and mapped out a clear path forward. She's patient and goes out of her way to make sure I feel heard.”

— Yuki, 43Hillsborough, CA

“Since being consistent with my treatment plan, I've noticed I can train harder and recover better than I have in the last five years. Sleep is solid, and I honestly can't remember the last time I felt afternoon fatigue.”

— Grant, 44Kentfield, CA

“Over the last few years, I've seen many doctors, and Dr. Kim is one of my favorites. She truly cares about her patients and understands how mind, body, and spirit influence overall health. She listens deeply, which helps her determine the right course of treatment, and goes beyond the surface to treat the root cause of symptoms. She coached me to make lifestyle changes in an encouraging way, without judgment.”

— Jocelyn, 36Mill Valley, CA

“Dr. Sonya Kim improved the quality of my life in just a few months. She achieved this by correcting my hypothyroidism and optimizing my hormone levels. She was comprehensive in her evaluation of my medical history and symptoms, recognizing the sub-optimality of my current medication regimen and articulating to me the deficiencies of the existing medical framework to treat hypothyroidism and low T syndrome. I felt noticeably better within a few weeks, specifically gaining back my energy especially in the late afternoons where I had previously been sluggish, and experiencing better circulation which reduced chills in my hands and feet. The hormone replacement therapy provided me increased energy for working out and walking, and it boosted my libido and sexual performance which enhanced my confidence. She was careful to monitor any side effects and interference with my existing heart treatments and medications. Most of all, she was a caring and engaging doctor, who truly partnered with me on this journey. I plan to continue these treatments!”

— Jordan, 50Palo Alto, CA

“The new testosterone cream is going great — the dosage increase gave me a nice boost and a feeling of wanting to be more active. About a week into the higher thyroid dose I feel more energy and mood improvements; it's subtle, but I'm different. Cialis has been a huge improvement. Weight training is still four days a week, and since our meeting I've added cycling and boxing — about two days a week each — and I think the thyroid and testosterone increases are helping a lot, because I'm actually beginning to crave more movement. I've also reduced fat, especially saturated, and cut red meat to about twice a week.”

— Graham, 44Santa Rosa, CA

What do patients say about in-person concierge house calls?

“I had the privilege of receiving this exceptional doctor's care. Dr. Kim's thoroughness and extensive knowledge were truly impressive.

I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking personalized, top-notch medical care.”

— Bobby, 51Atherton, CA

— Tim, 75Los Gatos, CA

“Dr. Sonya, you saved my wife, Sylvia, when you made that house call. No other doctor had talked to her the way you did — she finally listened. She's now open to getting help once and for all. Thank you for being direct and kind with her. You changed our marriage. I now have hope.”

— Martin, 55San Francisco, CA

“Dear Dr. Kim, thank you for your concern and stern warning for me to get to a specialist right away. It was the urgency that motivated me in getting to my pulmonologist 2 days later. The procedures were successful in clearing my lungs of fluid. I am doing quite well and optimistic for a recovery!”

— Jim, 65Mill Valley, CA
