Anti-Aging Medical Group (New York, New York)

Clinic Introduction

Anti-Aging Medical Group, led by Dr. Selma Rashid, delivers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and peptide-based protocols through telehealth consultations serving patients in California, Nevada, Colorado, and Illinois. Dr. Rashid holds board certification in Internal Medicine and applies evidence-based hormone optimization strategies to address menopause, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and low testosterone in both women and men. The clinic structures treatment around comprehensive lab analysis, individualized dosing, and ongoing monitoring to restore hormonal balance rather than applying standardized protocols. Anti-Aging Medical Group offers a range of peptide therapy options tailored to individual patient needs. Treatment protocols are customized based on health goals, lab work, and medical history, with options for hormone optimization, metabolic health, tissue repair, and performance enhancement. Dr. Rashid's clinical model emphasizes root-cause analysis of hormonal imbalance rather than symptom suppression. For menopause management, the clinic prescribes bioidentical estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone in forms that match endogenous hormones, using transdermal creams, sublingual troches, or subcutaneous pellets depending on patient preference and absorption profiles. Women with PMDD or severe PMS undergo detailed cycle mapping and receive targeted progesterone or peptide interventions timed to luteal phase symptoms. Male patients with low testosterone receive treatment only after ruling out secondary causes such as sleep apnea, metabolic syndrome, or pituitary dysfunction, with options including testosterone cypionate injections, topical gels, or peptide-based alternatives like gonadorelin when fertility preservation is a priority. The telehealth consultation process begins with a 45-minute initial evaluation where Dr. Rashid reviews medical history, current symptoms, prior lab work, and treatment goals. Patients then complete a hormone panel through a local lab network available in all four states the clinic serves, with results reviewed in a follow-up video appointment. Treatment plans include detailed administration instructions, expected timelines for symptom improvement, and potential side effects. Follow-up visits occur every 4 to 6 weeks during the initial three months, then quarterly once stable dosing is achieved. The clinic provides direct messaging access for questions between visits and adjusts protocols based on patient-reported outcomes and repeat lab values rather than fixed schedules. Anti-Aging Medical Group differentiates itself through its refusal to prescribe hormones or peptides without current lab confirmation and contraindication screening. The practice does not offer one-size-fits-all packages or auto-refill programs, instead requiring documented clinical need and response data before continuing therapy. Dr. Rashid maintains hospital privileges in New York and collaborates with local providers in telehealth states when in-person evaluation becomes necessary. Patients receive itemized treatment costs upfront, with peptide therapy typically ranging from $300 to $600 monthly depending on compounds used, and BHRT programs starting at $250 monthly plus medication costs. The clinic accepts patients aged 30 and older who have documented hormone deficiency or dysfunction, with most patients falling between ages 40 and 65.
