Dr. Laven is a very nice doctor. However, she does not know how to balance hormones.   There was gaslighting over some of my hormonal symptoms, as she wants me to deal with my hot/cold flashes with a primary care doctor.   She also dismissed fluctuating hormones during the lutal phase of my cycle, yet when requesting labs she said hormones are always changing and labs don't matter. I am grateful she did order the labs I requested.  She also encouraged me to chop out my healthy cervix so it would be easier for her to prescribe me hormones.   US healthcare is dangerous, negligent and atrocious. Now I will have to pay cash towards a hormone specialist who listens and will customize my hormone replacement regime.
