Would a regular General Practitioner or a Gynecologist be a preferred source for having my hormone levels checked and then possibly starting bio identical hormone therapy? I am not interested in the pellet hormone therapy where they insert a hormone compound pellet underneath your skin.

Hi Anon! You ask a great question! It is so important to go to a practitioner who understands the use of Hormone Replacement Therapy using bio-identical hormones. Whether a general practitioner or a GYN doctor, one of the sources you can check is www.acam.org
ACAM is a non-profit organization of physicians who practice and educate themselves in the latests medical treatments, including bio-identical hormones. Suzanne Sommers' book "The Sexy Years" also provides a nice list of doctors who are trained in bio-identical hormones treatment including pellet therapy. I would start with that.
