Dr. Omotade did my hormone pellet insertion a couple of weeks ago, and of the several I’ve had over the past 2 years, this one was absolutely tops. She was quick, with hardly a pinch, and I had ZERO bruising and tenderness. There’s no bump under my skin - I cannot find where she made the incision and placed the pellets! The only clue that I had a procedure at all is that my night sweats have gone away, and my energy has come back! She uses a new, high tech device that I think makes a big difference, but I really have to credit her technique.
