At The Teggatz Clinic in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, we are dedicated to empowering women to navigate the challenges of menopause and perimenopause with confidence. Using a Functional Medicine approach, Dr. Teggatz focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health concerns rather than just managing symptoms. Our mission is to provide personalized, evidence-based care that supports your unique health journey during this transformative stage of life.

By using compounded bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (cBHRT) and various testing methods with natural and holistic approaches, we develop individualized treatment plans designed to restore balance, improve quality of life, and promote long-term wellness.
Our team is passionate about fostering a supportive, collaborative environment where you feel heard and respected. We believe that optimal health is achievable at any age, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
