Hormone Replacement Therapy · Ocala, Florida
An Honest Hormone Consult in Ocala
In Ocala, bioidentical hormone pellets are placed only after a lab-based consult with our advanced-practice provider, under the internal-medicine training Dr. Tali Arviv brought to this practice in 2014.
Lab Work and Listening
A Consult That Starts With Your Questions
Hormone symptoms rarely arrive with a clear label, which is why the consult matters more than any brochure. The visit this office is built around is a straightforward one: a comfortable office, an honest opinion, a provider attentive to your questions. That is not luck. It is what a consult built on lab work and listening looks like.
Angela Rodriguez, NP is the advanced-practice provider on staff here, and every plan written at this office follows the standard Dr. Tali Arviv, MD set when she founded the practice in 2014. Dr. Arviv trained in internal medicine, the discipline of reading labs and symptoms together, and that is the medicine hormone care calls for.
The same physician-led standard runs at our Tampa location and our Miami location, so your lab draws and dosing reviews here in Ocala follow that same interval, not a scaled-down version of it.
Before Anything Is Placed
What a Consult Here Involves
No pellet is placed until you have been evaluated. The visit answers two questions in order: what your labs show, and which delivery method, if any, fits.
A Lab Panel Before Anything Else
Your hormone levels are evaluated before any plan is written, so what you start on is a number, not a guess.
One Provider Who Knows Your File

One Small Pellet, Four to Six Months
About the size of a Tic Tac and placed under the skin in a brief visit, it releases hormones steadily, with nothing to remember day to day.
If pellets are not the right fit, your provider says so, and when low testosterone is the specific question, testosterone replacement therapy has its own Ocala page.
How It Unfolds
Four Unhurried Steps
Bioidentical hormones match the structure of the ones your body already produces. The honest question is the process around them, and our wellness guide covers it in more depth.
Labs Before Anything
Your levels are evaluated before therapy begins, so candidacy is a number rather than a hunch about your symptoms.
A Conversation, Not a Pitch
Pellets are one delivery method among several. Your provider covers the alternatives, what your labs support, and every question, at your pace.
A Short Office Visit
Once inserted under the skin, a rice-grain-sized pellet keeps releasing hormones at a steady pace for the next four to six months.
A First-Year Rhythm
Levels are re-checked at four to six weeks, again at three to five months, then less often after the first year. You always know when to call.
A First-Year Map
Am I the Right Candidate?
Your numbers decide this, not your symptom list, so the first visit is a panel and a conversation. A first-year rhythm of re-checks follows, and it is worth reading before you start.
Reasons the Pellet Suits You
- Sleep, mood, and drive have all shifted, and it has lasted long enough to stop looking like a bad month.
- You would rather measure it than describe it and hope to be believed.
- A pellet placed a few times a year suits you better than remembering something daily.
- One provider holding your file through the whole first year matters to you.
Where the Labs Lead Instead
- Levels inside the normal range mean no prescription, and that gets said plainly rather than worked around.
- A personal or family history of hormone-sensitive cancer, or of a clotting disorder, changes what is available to you.
- A pellet is one route among several, and whether a different one fits better is part of the same conversation.
- The first year asks for a re-check at four to six weeks and another at three to five months, so the drive belongs in the decision.
Because the panel comes first, this visit can honestly end without a plan. Book a consult in Ocala and let your results set the direction.

In Their Words
What Arviv Guests Say About Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone therapy is rarely something guests review publicly, and the one Ocala review that mentions it is about a consultation fee rather than about the therapy. What guests do describe is the staff and the answers they were given, which is most of what a first hormone consult actually consists of. Read more reviews from guests across all three Florida locations.
“I am pleased to say that my appointment with Marla Schenck was fantastic and greatly exceeded my expectations! The office staff was extremely pleasant and efficient, and Marla carefully listened to my concerns and provided the type of treatment I was looking for (topical estrogens and testosterone).”
“Marla has an awesome personality and you really feel taken care of when you are done. We ask alot of questions at our appointments and are always given the time and the answers we need. We live almost an hour away, but it is worth the drive for the care that we receive.”
“Marla is amazing! She is incredibly kind, patient, and truly excellent at what she does. I have been doing my pellets with her for the past 5 years, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and professionalism she provides. I wouldn’t change her for anyone!”
Individual results vary. Reviews describe one guest’s experience and are not a promise of outcome.
