ReGenesis HRT Reviews for Women: Cost, Labs, Fit and What to Ask

ReGenesis HRT reviews for women are thin: the reviews we could read mainly describe service or testosterone care, without a clear menopause-specific picture. ReGenesis is worth considering for Pennsylvania care, but only after you get a full quote, the exact products and the name of the clinician who would prescribe for you.

This review covers ReGenesis HRT at regenesishrt.com, based in Robinson Township, just outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is not about other clinics with "Regenesis" in their name. We sort those out below.

ReGenesis may fit you if you:

  • Live in Pennsylvania. The clinic publishes telehealth service for Pennsylvania patients.
  • Want a clinic that starts with blood tests and offers a free first consultation.
  • Can pay cash or by card and don't need your insurance billed.

Start somewhere else if you:

  • Need care outside Pennsylvania and cannot confirm that the clinic serves your location.
  • Want your insurance to pay for visits.
  • Need FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone and cannot get the exact products confirmed before you start.
  • Have unexplained vaginal bleeding, a past blood clot, stroke or heart attack, breast or uterine cancer, or liver disease. Unexplained bleeding needs an in-person assessment. For these medical histories, start with your treating clinician or a relevant specialist.

One thing to know up front. ReGenesis's website is built mostly around men. Its About page opens with testosterone for men, and its FAQ says male testosterone levels decide eligibility when you bring outside labs. It does say it treats women "based on individual patient needs." That's not a reason to rule it out. It's a reason to ask more questions before your blood draw.

We link directly to ReGenesis. We may earn a commission if you choose Gala through our labeled links. That doesn't change what we report. How we make money.

The HRT Index is the independent decision resource for online menopause and HRT care — comparing telehealth providers on clinical legitimacy, care quality, medication fit, price transparency, and access, with every claim verified and dated, so women can choose the path that fits their situation before their first consult.

What we actually verified · Last verified October 2026

We read, on October 24, 2026: ReGenesis HRT's home, Women, bioidentical hormone (BHRT), Libido Enhancement, FAQ, Bloodwork, About Us, Our Staff, Testimonials, Locations, Refills, New Patient Form and Make an Appointment pages; its Trustpilot, BestProsInTown and BBB pages; a directory listing that reports its Google rating; Gala's hormone-health, $69 HRT and general policy pages; and Midi Health's pricing, insurance and relevant help pages.

We confirmed: ReGenesis is a clinic at 5168 Campbells Run Rd, Robinson Township (Pittsburgh), PA 15205, open weekdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Its site says it was founded in 2015, offers a free initial consultation and initial bloodwork, provides telehealth for Pennsylvania patients, and does not accept insurance. It lists lab panel prices but no treatment prices.

We did not: call, book, get labs, talk to staff or receive any medication. This is a documentation review, not a patient test.

We could not confirm: who currently prescribes women's menopause care and their active license status, which hormone products women receive, whether pellets are used, the full treatment cost or billing interval, or the current Google rating directly from Google. The public intake consent names Dr. Dennis Courtney, but does not settle those women's-care questions.

ReGenesis HRT reviews for women: what do women actually say?

Public ReGenesis HRT reviews say very little about care for women. The reviews we could read mostly describe customer service or testosterone therapy, and none describes a menopause treatment plan. So the ratings can tell you how people felt about the staff, but not how the clinic handles menopause.

Here are the review and listing sources we could read, and what each one can actually tell you.

We didn't average these into one score. They count different things, from different years, chosen in different ways.

The few reviews that may involve women

We don't guess anyone's sex from a first name. We only report what the review text says.

One clinic-posted testimonial, from a reviewer listed as "mia s" in Pittsburgh, describes getting a second opinion on "thyroid and hormones." The reviewer writes: "at 53 I feel like I did in my 30's!" The review doesn't identify the treatment received. The clinic chose to post it, and one person's story does not establish a typical result.

Another, from "rhonda s," is a short line saying Dr. Courtney was nice and knowledgeable. No treatment is named.

A third testimonial says the reviewer also booked a consultation for their girlfriend. It does not describe the girlfriend's care or establish how most women find the clinic.

One more thing worth knowing. One of the longer testimonials on the clinic's page, signed by a chiropractor, ends with the writer saying he is a rep who can get you scheduled. That makes it a sales message, not an independent review.

What do the positive comments actually support?

The positive comments describe people liking the staff. One Trustpilot review from 2019, by a reviewer named Steven, called it "Good, efficient service with customer care at its focus." That's useful as one reviewer's account of customer care. It doesn't establish how quickly calls get answered.

It can't tell you who will prescribe your hormones, which product you'll get, or what you'll pay. A kind front desk and a good menopause plan are two different things.

What about complaints?

We didn't find a pattern of complaints about women's care, but we didn't find enough women's reviews to see any pattern at all. The Google rating reported by the directory includes some one-star reviews (9%), and we couldn't read them. So "no complaints found" here means "not enough information," not "no problems."

The questions a review usually answers — billing surprises, refills, getting a reply when something's wrong — are ones you'll need to ask directly. We give you the exact wording later on this page.

Why the ratings can't answer your real question

  1. The reviews mix general service with other treatments. Men's testosterone therapy and menopause hormone therapy are different care.
  2. The six Trustpilot reviews are all dated August 2019.
  3. No review can tell you whether a product is FDA-approved, or whether your clinician is licensed. Documents and direct questions do that.

Which Regenesis? Don't mix up these clinics

Several unrelated clinics use a similar name. Reviews of the Illinois, North Carolina, Canadian or UK clinics below are not reviews of the Pittsburgh clinic. Match the clinic's website and address, not the reviewer's location.

Still not sure a local hormone clinic is the right kind of care for you?

The right online menopause care isn't the same for every woman — it depends on your symptoms, what you've already tried, your age, your state and your health history. Some situations belong with an in-person clinician first. Use The HRT Index's Find My HRT Path tool to explore a featured care option for your situation — and to flag when online care isn't the right starting point — before your first consult.

It's free, takes about 60 seconds and doesn't ask for your email. It asks five questions and then shows a featured online option, or guidance when online care isn't the right place to start. It doesn't diagnose anything, and it doesn't decide whether you should take hormones. A clinician does that. We may earn a commission from providers it features, and that affects which ones appear. How the tool works.

What does ReGenesis HRT offer women?

ReGenesis says it offers women bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, libido care, anti-aging treatments, and nutrition and fitness plans, after a medical evaluation and lab tests. Its women's page says it helps with hot flashes, night sweats and mood swings from perimenopause onward. It doesn't name the hormone products it prescribes.

Here is what its pages list for women, as of October 24, 2026:

  • Bioidentical Hormone Replacement (BHRT). The main women's service.
  • Libido Enhancement. Treatment for low sex drive, which the page links to low testosterone or falling estrogen.
  • Anti Aging. The clinic calls itself a "concierge medical practice" here.
  • Nutrition and Fitness Plans. Diet and exercise programs.
  • Medicated Weight Loss. Listed separately, not as part of hormone care.

What "bioidentical" means, and what it doesn't

Bioidentical means a hormone has the same chemical shape as the one your body makes. That's all it means. It says nothing about whether the finished medicine was reviewed by the FDA.

Some bioidentical products are FDA-approved, like many estradiol pills and patches and micronized progesterone capsules. Others are mixed by a compounding pharmacy and aren't FDA-approved. So "bioidentical" on a clinic's website doesn't tell you which kind you'd get.

ReGenesis's FAQ says its medicines come from licensed U.S. pharmacies supplying "brand name and compound medications." So you could get either kind. You'll want to ask which.

How care starts

The path the site describes:

  1. Fill out an online Female Hormone Assessment (a symptom questionnaire).
  2. The clinic says its physician reviews it to see whether hormone therapy might fit.
  3. The clinic advertises a free initial consultation and initial bloodwork. Its FAQ says lab work must be completed before the initial physician appointment.
  4. A treatment plan is built from your labs, history and symptoms.

What its women's pages claim, next to mainstream guidance

Some lines on ReGenesis's women's pages are stronger than the evidence behind them. This doesn't mean the clinic gives poor care. It means you should ask follow-up questions.

Who prescribes at ReGenesis HRT, and is it legit?

ReGenesis HRT is a real business with an office in Robinson Township, a phone number and, according to its site, a history back to 2015. Its public new-patient consent names Dr. Dennis Courtney, although its staff page lists no physician bio. The form also contains low-testosterone treatment language, so ask who currently prescribes women's menopause care and confirm that person's active license.

A physician liaison isn't the same as a prescribing clinician. The two co-founders are both listed as "Physician Liaison." Their bios describe business and pharmaceutical-marketing backgrounds, not medical training. That's normal for a clinic's business side. It just means the person you text may not be the person who writes your prescription.

How to check a prescriber's license yourself

Start with the full name and license type of the clinician assigned to your care.

  1. Ask ReGenesis for your prescriber's full name and license type (MD, DO, NP or PA).
  2. Search that name through the Pennsylvania Department of State's license lookup.
  3. Make sure the license shows as active.

For menopause know-how specifically, The Menopause Society keeps a public directory of menopause practitioners. Look for the MSCP credential if you want a certified practitioner. Not every good clinician is listed there, but it's a useful check.

How much does ReGenesis HRT cost for women?

ReGenesis HRT doesn't publish treatment prices for women. It advertises a free first consultation and free initial bloodwork, and it takes cash, credit cards and a financing card. Medication, follow-up and repeat-lab charges — and the billing interval — need a quote. Any total you build today is incomplete until you have those numbers.

Here's what the clinic publishes, and what's still missing.

Financing"Advanced Care Card." ReGenesis describes 14 months with no interest, then interest on the unpaid balance.The lender now advertises up to 15 months; terms depend on credit. Confirm the clinic's applicable offer and read the lender's terms before applying.

Its FAQ says cost "can widely vary" with individual goals and that treatment is chosen after evaluation and labs. It does not say when a price quote is provided.

What would the first 90 days cost?

A first-90-day total has to include every required payment due in those 90 days. If any required cost is unknown, the total is incomplete, not zero.

Here's the simple formula:

First 90 days = consultation + every medication payment in 90 days + required labs + required follow-ups + shipping or other required charges

For ReGenesis today, that works out like this:

  • Consultation: $0 (advertised)
  • Initial labs: $0 (advertised)
  • Medication: unknown
  • Follow-up visits: unknown
  • Repeat labs: unknown
  • Shipping or other required charges: unknown

Result: incomplete. You need the medication and follow-up costs before you can compare ReGenesis with anything else. We didn't plug in a typical HRT price or add a lab panel you may never need. That would just be a guess.

You don't need to agree to treatment to ask what a full plan would cost.

If you'd rather know a price before anyone draws your blood

Gala Health's online HRT program advertises one flat price: $69 a month, which Gala says covers the telehealth visit, the prescription and shipping, with no membership fee (its HRT page, read October 24, 2026). Gala lists estradiol pills and patches, micronized progesterone, vaginal estradiol and non-hormonal options. A clinician decides whether to prescribe.

Two honest caveats. First, $69 is Gala's advertised price. Confirm that your quote includes every medicine in your plan and any required labs. Second, Gala's linked general refund policy requires your cancellation request to be received at least 72 hours before billing. Confirm that this policy governs your HRT plan. We cover that and other Gala details in our Gala HRT review.

If a published monthly price matters to you, Gala says its assessment shows your plan and price before payment. Confirm whether you are charged before or after clinician review; its HRT and general policy pages describe different timing.

Is ReGenesis's free bloodwork what you need for menopause care?

Free bloodwork can be useful for a general health check, but otherwise healthy women aged 45 or older with typical symptoms usually don't need hormone blood tests to identify menopause or start standard hormone therapy. Hormone levels swing from day to day in perimenopause, so a single number can mislead. Ask which tests are free, why you need them, and what repeat tests will cost.

What ReGenesis's lab panels test

ReGenesis lists these women's panels on its Bloodwork page, each with a price it labels "Quest Diagnostics Price." We don't know which one is the free initial bloodwork.

Women's lab panels listed by ReGenesis (read October 24, 2026)

PanelWhat's in it (short version)Price ReGenesis listsWhat it can tell youWhat it can't tell you
Menopause PanelBlood count, metabolic panel (kidney and liver basics), estradiol, FSH, LH, total testosterone$81.99General health markers and a one-day snapshot of hormone levelsBy itself, whether you're in perimenopause or what dose you need

A few terms, in plain words:

  • FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is a signal from your brain that tells your ovaries to work. It tends to rise around menopause, but it bounces up and down in perimenopause.
  • Estradiol is the main estrogen your ovaries make before menopause.
  • TSH checks your thyroid, which can cause tiredness, mood changes and weight changes that look a lot like menopause.

What menopause guidance says about hormone tests

The Menopause Society says blood hormone testing is rarely needed to guide menopause hormone therapy. Saliva and urine hormone tests should not be used to set the dose. Symptoms and side effects help guide care, while blood tests may still be needed for specific treatments, including testosterone. (The Menopause Society, 2022 hormone therapy position statement)

NICE, the UK's national health guidance body, says otherwise healthy women aged 45 or older with typical menopause symptoms can usually be assessed without hormone tests. It says not to use estradiol and several other tests to identify menopause in that group. An FSH test may help women aged 40 to 45 with symptoms and menstrual changes, or women under 40 when menopause is suspected. (NICE NG23 recommendations)

Here's a simple way to picture it. Two estradiol tests taken a week apart in perimenopause can look completely different. So one "low" number doesn't, by itself, mean you need a hormone.

When lab tests do help

Tests aren't useless. They can help when:

  • Your thyroid might be causing symptoms.
  • You have bleeding that isn't explained.
  • You're under 45, or might be in early menopause.
  • A clinician is prescribing testosterone and needs to keep levels in a safe range.
  • You need general health checks, like cholesterol or blood sugar.

Good questions about labs

  • "Which tests are included in the free initial bloodwork, and where are they drawn?"
  • "What will each test change about my plan?"
  • "How often will I need repeat labs, and what does each one cost?"
  • "Will my dose be set by a lab number, or by how my symptoms respond?"

What will ReGenesis prescribe: FDA-approved, compounded, pellets or testosterone?

ReGenesis says its pharmacies supply both brand-name and compounded medicines, but it doesn't say which hormone products women get. That matters. FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone have tested doses and official safety labels, while compounded hormones aren't FDA-approved, and no hormone pellet is FDA-approved for menopause care in women. Ask for the exact product name before you agree to a plan.

FDA-approved vs. compounded, in plain words

  • FDA-approved means the FDA reviewed the finished medicine in the box for safety, effectiveness and steady quality.
  • Compounded means a medicine is specially mixed or changed, usually by a pharmacy. The FDA says compounded drugs aren't FDA-approved, and it doesn't check their safety, effectiveness or quality before they're sold.

The Menopause Society says custom-compounded hormones haven't been shown to be safer or more effective than approved bioidentical hormones. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) also recommends FDA-approved hormone therapy over compounded versions when an approved option meets the patient's needs.

Compounding can make sense for a real need, like an allergy to an ingredient in an approved product. If a compounded product is offered, ask why an approved one won't work for you.

Which question matches the symptom you want help with?

Different treatments do different jobs. Bring the symptom that bothers you most, and ask how the proposed treatment fits it.

Your main concernWhat to talk about with the clinicianWhat ReGenesis has published
Hot flashes and night sweatsWhether systemic treatment (which works throughout your body, like a pill or patch) or a non-hormonal medicine fitsExact products not named
Vaginal dryness or painful sexWhether local vaginal treatment is enough. Low-dose vaginal estrogen helps these symptoms but won't treat hot flashes.Local treatment not listed
Taking systemic estrogen when you still have a uterusHow your uterine lining will be protected. A progestogen is generally needed.Exact plan not named
Low sexual desire that bothers youA separate assessment. Men's testosterone reviews don't tell you anything about this.Libido page discusses testosterone; exact product, route and monitoring plan not stated
A "custom blend"The exact ingredients, how it's taken, which pharmacy makes it, and why an approved option won't doAsk for the written prescription

This is a guide for your conversation, not a way to choose a treatment or a dose.

Questions to ask by form

What you might be offeredIs there an FDA-approved version?What to ask
Estradiol pillYes"What is the product name, and who makes it?"
Estradiol patchYes"Which patch, and what strength?"
Micronized progesterone capsuleYes"Is this the FDA-approved capsule?"
Estrogen and progesterone creamSome estradiol gels and creams are approved. Compounded combination creams aren't."Is this compounded? How will my uterus be protected?"
Troche (a lozenge that dissolves in your cheek)No approved menopause hormone troche"Why this form instead of an approved one?"
Hormone pelletsNo FDA-approved hormone pellet for menopause in women"Do you use pellets? Can I choose something else?"
Testosterone cream or injectionNo testosterone product is approved for women"Is this an approved medicine used off-label, or a compounded product? How will my levels be checked?"
Vaginal estradiolYes"Is local treatment enough for my symptoms?"

If testosterone or pellets come up

Testosterone. No testosterone product is FDA-approved for women in the United States. Using an FDA-approved male product for a woman is off-label (used for something the FDA didn't approve it for); a compounded testosterone product is not FDA-approved. Testosterone is also a Schedule III controlled substance, which means it needs a prescription and extra rules apply. The strongest evidence supports it for hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) — ongoing low sexual desire that causes distress — in women after menopause, after a full assessment and with blood levels checked over time. It isn't a proven treatment for energy, weight or "anti-aging." (Global Consensus Position Statement)

ReGenesis tests testosterone in its women's panels and markets libido care, so ask whether testosterone would be part of your plan, in what form, and how levels will be monitored.

Pellets. We didn't see pellets mentioned on ReGenesis's own pages. Compounded hormone pellets are placed under the skin and are designed to dissolve over time, not for easy removal. They are harder to stop or adjust than a pill or patch. Doctors have reported cases where pellets pushed hormone levels far too high. If pellets are offered, ask about other options, how long a pellet lasts, how levels are checked, and what happens if you have side effects.

If you still have a uterus

If you take systemic estrogen (a pill, patch, gel or spray) and still have your uterus, The Menopause Society says you generally need a progestogen — progesterone or a related medicine — too, to protect the lining of the uterus from cancer. Low-dose vaginal estrogen generally does not need a progestogen. Progesterone creams haven't been shown to give reliable protection. So if a cream is offered, ask how your lining will be protected.

If an FDA-approved product is a must for you

Gala lists estradiol pills and patches, micronized progesterone, vaginal estradiol cream or tablets, and non-hormonal options, and says it prescribes FDA-approved forms. One of its pages also carries a general compounded-medication notice, so ask Gala to name your product too. Our Gala HRT review shows the exact questions. For a list of approved products, see our FDA-approved HRT medication list, and for the bigger picture, compounded vs. FDA-approved HRT.

What happens after your first ReGenesis visit?

ReGenesis has an online refill form and a general intake agreement that gives follow-up contact intervals. It does not establish a menopause-specific schedule, a reply time or a billing cancellation policy. Ask who you'll contact about side effects, how refills work, and what happens if you leave.

Refills

ReGenesis's Refills page has a form for up to four prescriptions. You enter what's on your prescription bottle. The page says incomplete forms will be denied, and that you'll get an email confirming the request with when to expect your prescription to ship. It doesn't give a set processing time or mention fees.

Follow-up and support

The FAQ says the prescribing physician decides when you need follow-up labs, and that telehealth follow-ups are available for eligible patients. The general intake agreement asks patients to make contact at 4–6 weeks, then every three months, to arrange any required tests or visits. It says a physician or physician assistant is available for questions during normal business hours.

That agreement also contains low-testosterone treatment language, so confirm whether these arrangements apply to your menopause care. Office hours are weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Testimonials describe texting with staff, but neither those comments nor the posted hours establish a response-time guarantee.

Leaving or switching

The intake consent says you may stop treatment, but it does not explain billing refunds or how to transfer prescriptions and records if you leave. Ask before you start:

  • "If a medicine isn't helping, who do I contact, and how fast should I expect a reply?"
  • "If my refill is due while I'm waiting on repeat labs, what happens?"
  • "If I leave, how do I get my records and transfer my prescription?"

Does ReGenesis HRT take insurance?

No. ReGenesis's FAQ says it doesn't accept medical insurance. That's the clinic's own policy, not a rule for all menopause care. Many insurance plans cover a gynecologist visit and generic estradiol or progesterone at a pharmacy, so if insurance matters to you, check an in-network option first.

ReGenesis doesn't say whether you can use HSA or FSA funds. Ask for itemized receipts and check with your plan's administrator.

If you want to use insurance, start with your own gynecologist or primary care doctor, or your plan's directory. For telehealth, Midi Health says it's in-network with most PPO plans and lets you check your plan by state. Its self-pay prices are $250 for a first visit and $150 for a return visit (checked October 24, 2026). Two limits to know: Midi says Medicare is out of network (you may self-pay, but cannot submit claims for related Midi visits, medicines or services), and it cannot treat Medicaid/Medi-Cal patients, even as self-pay. Medication and labs are billed separately from visits. Midi asks for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or change a visit without a cancellation fee; confirm the fee when booking.

If you have a PPO plan and want it to pay for visits, check the visit and your prescription coverage separately: Check Midi's insurance by state → (Direct link.)

Can you use ReGenesis HRT outside Pittsburgh or Pennsylvania?

ReGenesis describes telehealth for patients in Pennsylvania from its Robinson Township office. If you will be in another state during visits, confirm whether the clinic can serve you; its pages do not establish telehealth access elsewhere. If you are in Pennsylvania but far from Pittsburgh, ask whether any visit has to be in person.

That last question matters because the exact visit requirements remain unclear. The clinic's site describes remote consultations and follow-ups for eligible patients, while a directory listing says in-person visits are required. Both could be true if some visits must be in person. The clinic's answer is the one that counts.

Outside Pennsylvania? Gala's online HRT program says it serves most U.S. states and that you won't be charged if it can't serve yours. Its assessment takes about five minutes, a U.S.-licensed clinician reviews it, and some states require a short video visit first. Gala lists estradiol pills and patches, micronized progesterone, vaginal estradiol, and non-hormonal options including fezolinetant. A clinician decides whether to prescribe.

Who is ReGenesis HRT best for, and who should look elsewhere?

ReGenesis may fit Pennsylvania women who want a clinic that starts with lab tests, can pay cash, and are willing to ask about products, prices and the prescriber before starting. It's a weaker fit if you need unconfirmed out-of-state telehealth, want insurance, cannot get the products confirmed, or need a medical assessment before choosing a hormone plan.

A 20-second self-check

Answer honestly. Nobody sees this but you.

  1. Will I be in Pennsylvania for telehealth visits?
  2. Am I comfortable paying without insurance and asking for a written treatment quote?
  3. Have I already discussed any concerns in the last two rows above with my clinician, or do none apply?

A concern in question 3 comes first. Unexplained bleeding needs an in-person assessment; the other histories need individual medical review. This self-check cannot clear a medical concern.

Three yeses? ReGenesis is reasonable to look into; this is not medical approval. Bring the questions below and ask for a written quote.

Need to use insurance? Start with your plan's directory or Midi's coverage check. Fine paying cash, but want a published price — or need telehealth outside Pennsylvania? Gala may be worth comparing if it serves your state.

A "no" on question 3, or not sure? Start with your treating clinician or a relevant specialist; unexplained bleeding needs an in-person assessment. If you're mainly unsure what kind of care fits, the quiz can help sort that out. It flags some situations that need in-person care first, but it can't clear a medical red flag.

ReGenesis HRT vs. Gala vs. Midi vs. your own doctor

ReGenesis is a lab-first, cash-pay clinic that publishes Pennsylvania telehealth. Gala is an online, cash-pay HRT service with one advertised monthly price. Midi is a telehealth practice that works with many insurance plans. Your own gynecologist may offer an in-person route; check their network status. The best choice depends on your state, your insurance and whether you want an exam.

When Gala is worth a closer look

Gala is worth considering when you want online cash-pay care and a conversation about pills, patches, vaginal treatment or non-hormonal options, without a clinic visit. Here's where it has clear advantages for the right reader:

  • You need telehealth outside Pennsylvania. Gala says it serves most states; confirm yours. ReGenesis names Pennsylvania in its public telehealth offer.
  • You want to see the treatment menu before you start. Gala lists four treatment types. ReGenesis does not give a comparable list of forms and products.
  • You want a published price before your first appointment. Gala advertises $69 a month. ReGenesis does not publish a complete treatment price.
  • You'd rather not have a blood draw just to begin. Gala says labs usually aren't needed and are ordered only when they'd change the plan. That fits the guidance above on routine hormone testing for otherwise healthy women aged 45 or older with typical symptoms. Specific medicines may still require safety labs.
  • You want included provider messaging. Gala says provider messaging is included as long as you're treated.

Gala's four treatment types, each of which needs a clinician's approval:

  1. Estradiol pills or patches. Estrogen for hot flashes, night sweats and other menopause symptoms.
  2. Micronized progesterone. Protects the uterine lining during systemic estrogen treatment when needed, and may help sleep.
  3. Vaginal estradiol cream or tablets. For vaginal dryness and painful sex. Gala says it also helps prevent recurring urinary tract infections.
  4. Non-hormonal medicines, including fezolinetant. For hot flashes and night sweats without estrogen, if you can't or would rather not use hormones.

Gala describes its care as online, with prescriptions delivered and ongoing support. Gala also posts patient stories. One, from a woman it identifies as Marisa, 49, reads: "Within three weeks of starting estradiol I was sleeping through the night again." Gala chose that story; it does not establish what result is typical. It does show the kind of change some women hope for.

Candid limits, so you can decide well:

  • Gala doesn't bill insurance.
  • Gala doesn't list testosterone on its HRT pages.
  • Gala's pages haven't fully agreed on whether every product is FDA-approved. Its linked general refund policy requires cancellation requests to arrive at least 72 hours before billing; confirm that it applies to your HRT plan. Ask which product you'll get, what is included and when you'll be charged. Our Gala HRT review lays out each point.
  • If fezolinetant (sold as Veozah) is suggested, know that it carries the FDA's strongest kind of warning for rare but serious liver injury. Its label calls for liver blood tests before you start, monthly for the first three months, and again at months six and nine. Ask who orders those tests and who pays. Don't assume they're in the $69.

If the Gala column fits you better — you want online cash-pay care with a published monthly price, and it serves your state — Gala says its assessment takes about five minutes and shows the plan and price before payment. Confirm the first charge's timing and the full bill before proceeding.

How the published prices compare, without false totals

An advertised monthly plan and a visit fee cover different things, so we don't call one cheaper without a full quote for the same period. Here's the honest math from what each publishes:

RouteWhat's publishedExample, first 90 daysExample, 12 monthsWhat's missing
ReGenesisFree consult and first labsIncompleteIncompleteMedication, follow-up, repeat-lab and any shipping costs; billing dates
Gala, advertised monthly plan$69 a monthThree $69 charges = $207 in plan charges, if three fall in the period12 charges × $69 = $828 in plan chargesActual billing dates; all prescribed medicines; any required labs or other extras
Midi, self-pay$250 first visit, $150 return visitFirst visit + one return visit = $400 in visit feesDepends on visits neededMedication and labs, or your insurance cost-sharing instead

These are examples using each provider's published prices, checked October 24, 2026. They are not complete care quotes. A calendar month is not a fixed number of days, so count actual billing dates. A 90-day Midi schedule isn't guaranteed to include exactly one return visit. An unknown cost is never $0.

Another Pittsburgh-area clinic we've reviewed

If you want local, in-person-style care in western Pennsylvania, compare ReGenesis with another clinic we've documented: Aspire Rejuvenation HRT reviews for women. For the wider online field, see our comparison of online HRT providers.

What should you ask ReGenesis before you book?

Seven questions settle what the reviews can't: who prescribes, which exact products, what it costs each month, which tests are free and what repeats cost, whether visits can be remote, how your uterus is protected if you take systemic estrogen, and how to stop. Ask by email or text so you have the answers in writing.

These questions work at any clinic, including the doctor you already have.

The 7 must-ask questions

Copy these into an email or message.

  1. Prescriber. "Who will prescribe and manage my care? What is their full name, license type and license number, and what experience do they have with menopause?"
  2. Products. "What exact hormone products would you prescribe for my main concern — the product name and the maker or compounding pharmacy? Is each one FDA-approved or compounded? Do you use pellets?"
  3. Monthly cost. "After the free consult and first labs, what will I pay each month, and what does that include? Please list every payment due in the first 90 days."
  4. Labs. "Which tests are included in the free initial bloodwork? How often will I need repeat tests, and what does each cost?"
  5. Remote or in person. "Can every visit be done by telehealth in Pennsylvania, or is any office visit required?"
  6. Uterus protection. "If you prescribe systemic estrogen and I still have my uterus, how will my uterine lining be protected?"
  7. Stopping. "Is there a minimum commitment? How much notice do I need to cancel, and is anything non-refundable?"

Four more, if they apply to you

  • If a compounded product is offered: "What makes a compounded product better for me than an FDA-approved one?"
  • If you're not prescribed anything: "If the clinician doesn't recommend treatment, what do I owe?"
  • For problems later: "Who do I contact about side effects or a medicine that isn't helping, and how soon will I hear back?"
  • If you leave: "How early should I request refills, and how do I get my records and transfer my prescription if I stop?"

When should an in-person clinician come first?

Your age, how long since your last period, whether you have a uterus, and any history of blood clots, stroke, heart disease, liver disease, or breast or uterine cancer all change what's safe and which kind of care fits. If you have unexplained vaginal bleeding, arrange an in-person assessment. If you have one of these medical histories, start with your treating clinician or a relevant specialist before choosing a hormone plan.

A few facts worth having before any appointment:

  • Timing matters. The Menopause Society says the balance of benefits and risks is generally more favorable when hormone therapy starts before age 60 or within 10 years of menopause, in women without a medical reason to avoid it. Outside that window, the decision is more individual. It doesn't mean no. It means a careful conversation.
  • Some histories usually rule systemic hormones out. The Menopause Society lists breast cancer, uterine cancer, unexplained uterine bleeding, liver disease, blood clots and heart disease as reasons women generally shouldn't use systemic hormone therapy. Non-hormonal options or a specialist may be the right starting point.
  • Unexplained bleeding comes first. Bleeding after menopause, or bleeding you can't explain, needs to be checked before starting hormone treatment.
  • Labels changed in 2026. On February 12, 2026, the FDA approved labeling changes for six menopause hormone therapy products, removing some boxed-warning statements. That doesn't make hormones risk-free, and it doesn't change the status of compounded products. Our 2026 label changes explainer has the details.
  • Breast screening. If you're wondering whether you need a mammogram first, see who requires a mammogram before HRT.

None of this is advice to start, stop or change a medicine. It's what to bring up so your clinician has the full picture. To look for a certified menopause practitioner near you, use The Menopause Society's public directory and check for the MSCP credential.

How we reviewed ReGenesis HRT

We read ReGenesis's public pages, its Trustpilot profile and a directory listing of its Google rating on October 24, 2026, and checked medical points against the FDA, The Menopause Society, NICE and the Endocrine Society. We didn't call, book, get labs or receive care, so this is a documentation review, not a patient test.

We use The HRT Index Verification Standard. It groups what we check under five standards, in this order. We don't give scores.

StandardWhat we looked forWhat we found for ReGenesisStatus
1. Clinical legitimacyA real business, a named licensed prescriber, a medical review before prescribingReal clinic with physician review described. Intake consent names Dr. Dennis Courtney.Business documented. Current women's prescriber and active license not independently confirmed.
2. Care qualityFollow-up, support, refills, how problems are handledRefill form and general intake follow-up contacts described. Staff praised. Menopause-specific arrangements need confirmation.Described, not tested
3. Medication fitExact products, FDA-approved or compounded, systemic and local optionsBrand-name and compounded both possible. No women's product list.Not confirmed
4. Price transparencyFull price, what's included, billing, cancellationFree consult and first labs. Lab menu priced. No treatment prices or cancellation terms.Mostly unpublished
5. AccessStates, age, visit format, insurancePennsylvania telehealth stated. Weekday office hours. No insurance. Required office visits and age limits not confirmed.Partly confirmed

What would change our view:

  • Published treatment prices for women
  • Confirmation of the current women's-care prescriber and their active Pennsylvania license
  • A named list of women's products, with FDA-approved status
  • Women's reviews that describe menopause care
  • A clear written policy on remote visits, refills and cancelling

ReGenesis HRT for women: quick answers

Does ReGenesis HRT treat women? Yes. It says it offers women bioidentical hormone therapy, libido care, anti-aging treatments and nutrition and fitness plans after an evaluation and lab tests. The reviews we could read mostly cover general service or testosterone care.

Is ReGenesis HRT a real clinic? Yes. It has an office at 5168 Campbells Run Rd in Robinson Township, near Pittsburgh, a phone number and a site saying it opened in 2015. That confirms the business is real. It doesn't confirm who prescribes or whether its care fits you.

Can I see ReGenesis by telehealth? It publishes telehealth for Pennsylvania patients. Ask whether any visit has to be in person and confirm access if you will be in another state.

How much does ReGenesis cost for women? It doesn't publish treatment prices. It advertises a free first consultation and free initial bloodwork. Ask for the treatment quote and billing interval.

Is free bloodwork the same as free treatment? No. The free offer covers the start. The full cost of medication, follow-ups and any required repeat tests isn't published.

Does ReGenesis take insurance? No. It's cash or card, plus a financing card it offers.

Who is the doctor at ReGenesis? The public new-patient consent names Dr. Dennis Courtney. Ask who will prescribe for you and confirm that person's active license.

Does ReGenesis offer estrogen patches or pellets? Its pages don't say which products it uses for women. Ask for the exact product before you start.

Will ReGenesis prescribe testosterone to women? Its libido page discusses testosterone in women's treatment, but does not name the product or route. No testosterone product is FDA-approved for women. An approved male product used for a woman is off-label; a compounded product is unapproved. Ask what, if anything, would be prescribed for you.

Do I need hormone blood tests to start HRT? Usually not for otherwise healthy women aged 45 or older with typical symptoms, according to NICE and The Menopause Society. Tests help in specific cases, like thyroid problems or early menopause.

Is ReGenesis the same as Regenesis in Lake Forest or Raleigh? No. Those are separate clinics.

What if I live outside Pennsylvania? ReGenesis's pages do not establish telehealth care in your state. Confirm access, or look at an online service that serves your state or your own clinician.

How soon will I feel better? This review can't tell you that. Ask the prescribing clinician what change is reasonable for the treatment you're offered, and when your plan will be reviewed.

Is Gala better than ReGenesis? We have no evidence that either gives better medical care. They're different routes. Gala is online, cash-pay and lists its treatments. ReGenesis is a Pennsylvania clinic that starts with labs. Your state, insurance and product needs decide which fits.

Do I need to change providers? Not necessarily. If a clinician you already see can treat your symptoms, that may be your best route. The questions on this page work there too.

Bottom line: should women try ReGenesis HRT?

ReGenesis HRT is a reasonable option for Pennsylvania women who want a clinic that starts with labs, as long as they ask hard questions first, but its public reviews can't vouch for its menopause care. If you need telehealth beyond its published Pennsylvania offer, want insurance, or cannot get the price and exact product confirmed before you start, another route may fit better.

The whole page in four lines:

  • Reviews: general service and testosterone care. None we read describes a menopause treatment plan.
  • Price: free consult and first labs. Monthly treatment cost isn't published.
  • Products: brand-name and compounded are both possible. Ask for names.
  • Access: Pennsylvania telehealth stated. No insurance.

You don't need a perfect star rating to take the next step. You need to know who will care for you, what they propose, what it costs, and how you'll get help later.

Still not sure which kind of care fits? That's a different question from "is ReGenesis good," and it deserves its own answer. The HRT Index's free Find My HRT Path quiz asks about your symptoms, what you've tried, your age, your state and your health history. Then it shows a featured care option, or guidance when online care isn't the right place to start. It isn't a medical eligibility test.

And if you already have a doctor who knows your history, it's always fair to ask them first.
