Board-Certified Internal Medicine • Physician-Led Hormone Care
Dr. David Nazarian is a Board-Certified Internal Medicine physician with approximately 18 years of experience caring for patients with abnormal hormone levels and optimizing hormone imbalances. He has completed advanced training in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy through WorldLink Medical, a well-recognized hormone replacement therapy training program. He has earned medical certification in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and hormone optimization.
His strength is a multidisciplinary approach that evaluates the person as a whole. He listens carefully to patients’ symptoms and considers laboratory values, cardiovascular health, bone health, metabolic health, cognitive concerns, sleep abnormalities, nutrition, lifestyle, medications, and other conditions that can contribute to hormonal symptoms and may be addressed to support overall health.
Dr. Nazarian strongly believes in evidence-based medical literature as well as personalized and tailored medical treatment. He always puts patient safety first and closely evaluates and monitors each patient’s progress.
Symptoms, medical conditions, medications, family history, prior therapy, reproductive history, sleep, lifestyle, and patient goals are reviewed together.
Laboratory testing is selected according to the clinical question rather than using the same panel for every patient.
Potential benefits, alternatives, limitations, FDA status, route of treatment, contraindications, and patient preferences are discussed before therapy is started.
Follow-up may include symptom review, examination, laboratory testing, screening, dose adjustment, or discontinuation when clinically indicated.
Dr. Nazarian is board certified in Internal Medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine and has completed advanced bioidentical hormone replacement therapy training through WorldLink Medical, earning its medical certification in BHRT/hormone optimization.

Board-Certified in Internal Medicine
Dr. Nazarian earned his undergraduate degree at the University of California, Los Angeles and his medical degree from the Sackler School of Medicine. He completed residency training at Huntington Memorial Hospital, an affiliate of the University of Southern California.
His additional clinical training and experience include hormone evaluation, testosterone and menopause care, integrative medicine, metabolic health, vitamin deficiencies, sleep-related contributors to health, and longitudinal management of chronic medical conditions.
This background supports a broader approach to hormone care: symptoms are evaluated in context, hormone therapy is not assumed to be the answer for every patient, and other medical explanations are considered when appropriate.
Some patients may benefit from FDA-approved hormone therapy. Others may be better served by nonhormonal treatment, treatment of another medical condition, lifestyle changes, or referral to another specialist. The decision depends on the specific diagnosis, risks, goals, and clinical circumstances.
Evaluation of perimenopause, menopause, vasomotor symptoms, sleep disruption, genitourinary symptoms, sexual health, and related concerns.
Evaluation of symptoms associated with possible testosterone deficiency while considering sleep, weight, fertility goals, medications, and other contributors.
Clinically focused laboratory evaluation based on symptoms, medical history, sex, age, medications, and the specific question being investigated.
Evaluation of children and adolescents with short stature or impaired growth, including assessment for growth hormone deficiency and other potential causes. Growth hormone therapy may be considered when medically appropriate and established treatment criteria are met.
Hormone therapy can have meaningful benefits for appropriately selected patients, but it also requires attention to risk. Depending on the treatment, monitoring may involve cardiovascular risk factors, blood pressure, blood counts, breast or endometrial health, prostate health, fertility, sleep apnea, liver health, medication interactions, and age-appropriate screening.
Dr. Nazarian emphasizes shared decision-making, realistic expectations, and ongoing reassessment. The objective is to use the lowest-complexity plan that appropriately addresses the patient’s needs while keeping safety and long-term health central to care.
