Personalized Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Managed by an Experienced Physician in Lee’s Summit, MO
How Hormone Therapy Can Help You
Are you experiencing symptoms like fatigue, low libido, mood swings, brain fog, weight gain, or sleep issues?
These could be signs of hormonal imbalances due to aging, perimenopause, menopause, low testosterone (low T), PCOS, PMS, or thyroid dysfunction. Your hormones play a vital role in your overall health, and restoring balance can make dramatic improvements to your quality of life.
Hormone balance is important to your long term health as well. Studies have shown that maintaining optimal hormone levels in mid-life and beyond reduces the risk of heart disease, fractured bones, dementia, and several types of cancer.
Hormone replacement therapy is healthcare. Unfortunately, many physicians lack the time or training to address your evolving hormone replacement needs.
New Summit Wellness was founded by Dr. Jennifer Groner to provide patients with the expert care they need close to home. Here we specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)—a personalized, science-backed approach to treating hormonal imbalances.
Our treatments are carefully managed by Dr. Groner and her team in a clinical setting, ensuring safety, efficacy, and long-term health benefits.
What are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are hormones synthesized in a lab to be identical to the estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone your body naturally makes. By using bioidentical hormones for hormone replacement therapy we avoid the side effects that come with using medications that are foreign to the system. The end result is a safe and effective treatment for the disruptive hormone depletion most people experience as they age.

- Improve energy, focus, and overall mood

Physician Expertise
There’s no substitute for the expertise of our board-certified physician who has extensive training and experience in balancing hormones, understanding how they work in the body, and identifying subtle signs of hormone imbalances that others might miss.
Dr. Jennifer Groner and her team take the time to understand your symptoms and goals before creating a customized treatment plan tailored just for you. You’ll receive ongoing monitoring and adjustments as your body responds to the therapy, ensuring optimal outcomes. With us, you’re getting a clinical approach grounded in science, safety, and effectiveness.
Comprehensive Hormone Assessment
We don’t just treat symptoms; we identify the root cause. We conduct a full diagnostic evaluation, which includes lab testing to assess your hormone levels, thyroid function, and other key indicators of overall health. Based on your unique profile, we design a tailored plan that targets your specific needs.
Bioidentical Hormones
Not all hormone products are created equal. Unlike many insurance-driven primary care offices we prescribe only bioidentical hormones that are molecularly identical to the hormones produced by your body. Commercially available products contain synthetic versions of these hormones that can be very different from your own, some of which have actually been linked to an increase in breast cancer, blood clots, and strokes. Bioidentical hormones have been used for decades in Europe with solid research proving them to be safe and effective.
Quality Controlled Compounded Medications
Bioidentical hormones are typically produced by a compounding pharmacy. Unlike commercial products which are often one size fits all, use of compounded medications allows us to vary the ingredients and dose so that we can provide hormone therapy medications that are specifically tailored to your needs. We can eliminate fillers which you may be sensitive to and change delivery systems to fit your needs.
One concern with the use of compounded medication is that compounding pharmacies are not monitored by the FDA and are not required to perform quality control testing. However, the most reputable pharmacies voluntarily undergo quality control and monitoring to guarantee the strength and purity of their products.
At New Summit Wellness we partner exclusively with pharmacies that undergo rigorous quality control testing. There are several products available for bioidentical hormone replacement including:
- Intramuscular Injections: For precise, controlled dosing
- Subcutaneous Pellets: Long-lasting, low-maintenance option
- Topical Creams: Convenient and easy to use
Dr. Groner and team will guide you in selecting the solution that best suits your lifestyle and goals.
The Couple’s Journey
At New Summit Wellness, we understand that every couple has a unique journey filled with ups, downs, and beautiful new beginnings.

How much does HRT cost?
Your initial consultation is free! Should you choose to move forward with a hormone therapy treatment plan, your first two visits and lab work will cost $350. The cost of medication is separate and varies depending on the method of replacement chosen.
There are no hidden fees or service subscriptions; it’s a straightforward “pay as you go” system. Accepted forms of payment include cash, debit card, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express.
Most insurance companies do not reimburse for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. In order to keep your costs down, we have decided not to accept insurance. However, we’re happy to provide you with forms you can submit to your health insurance company or FSA / HSA account.
Patient Testimonials
Debunking the Myth: Does HRT Cause Cancer?
One of the most common misconceptions about hormone replacement therapy is that it increases the risk of cancer. This myth stems from research that used synthetic hormones, which behave differently from bioidentical hormones. Recent studies show that bioidentical hormones do not increase the risk of cancer when used appropriately under the care of a qualified physician.
In fact, HRT can help protect against colon cancer and diseases such as osteoporosis, heart disease, and dementia by replenishing essential hormones that your body needs for long-term health. The key to safe and effective treatment is a personalized approach, which is why working with a knowledgeable physician is so important.
