I have been going to this practice off and on for years. I started out seeing Dr. Edgerton as my gynecologist years ago and now see Holly, the Nurse Practitioner on a regular basis as well as Dr. Edgerton to monitor my hormones and thyroid. I LOVE going here. They are very open minded. My concerns are always addressed and I feel so much better than I have in a very long time. Everyone is very professional, from all of the office staff to the patient care co-ordinator, Stacey and Karen the Medical assistant. Love their supplements as well. My needs are always addressed and taken seriously. I am always responded to very quickly with concerns or questions. They have been extremely patient with me and work very hard to help me to feel better and get my hormones balanced! I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone male or female! LOVE this place!
Screven Edgerton MD
Dr. Edgerton (often called “The Hormone Whisperer” by his patients) is a board-certified OB/GYN. His interest in bioidentical hormone replacement started years ago when he realized many of his patients were not improving with some of the standard medical regimens. Research and study led him to understand that there is a wealth of scientific literature to support supplementation with more natural forms of many medicines. He now feels he can best help his patients and add life to years as well as years to life.
He received his medical degree from Louisiana State University and completed his training at the University of Texas in Houston. Dr. Edgerton and his family have lived in the Austin area since 2005. His outside interests include sports, exercise, family, friends and nature.
Screven Edgerton's testimonials
Dr. Edgerton and all of the staff here are just exceptional! Life before bio-identical hormone replacement was way too challenging and so much better after. I no longer feel pushed to the edge and dealing with all of the issues that go with menopause. I lived in physical pain and extreme discomfort, but no longer. I can sleep, I can think and am a joy to be around again; it’s nice to have “me” back again. I can’t thank Dr. Edgerton and that staff enough! Also, it’s just not hormone replacement that they have helped me with; they have a great program for overall health and wellness. This practice really wants you to have optimal health and they are committed to improving your health from several angles – knowing my food allergies and staying away from them has helped shed the pounds and detecting and treating a few gut infections made everything so much better. The support you receive is great, it’s not the rush you and in and hurry you out type of practice; it’s what true healthcare should be.
I was miserable having entered menopause at 52 experiencing the majority the “normal” symptoms; hot flashes that radiated from the inside-out, night sweats, moodiness beyond belief, etc., etc. I finally gave in, with the encouragement from those that love me, and sought help from a local doctor. All too quickly I was given a prescription for synthetic estrogen (with an option for anti-depressants) – ugh – definitely not the route I wanted to take -and- didn’t take! On top of all of this – I experienced thyroid cancer and was placed on synthetic thyroid medication after surgery which made the ability to sleep at night nearly impossible. Did I mention how miserable I was?
I’ve been feeling much better since I started taking Bio-identical hormones. I have more energy and I’m feeling less moody. No migraines and night sweats during my PMS!!!! I’m very thankful to Dr. Edgerton and his team.
I would like to share my story of how taking bio-identical hormones and working with Dr. Edgerton’s group changed my life. I am still so thankful every day and take every opportunity I get to share my story in an effort to help others who may suffer from menopause.
The wet sheets and pillow I could take. Changing sheets everyday was just a time inconvenience. But the lack of continuous sleep was having its toll. All I wanted was a full night’s sleep. Something was wrong and there had to be some relief. My GYN referred me to Dr. Edgerton. I was willing to try anything. After the assessment and prescribing natural hormones to me, to my surprise, within weeks the night sweats were gone and I was sleeping through the night. I felt like myself again, charged with energy. But what really surprised me and my hairdresser was the body and life that was restored to my hair as well. I felt younger, looked younger, and had more energy and hair than any of my friends, who unfortunately still doubt the possibility of not suffering through menopause. With bio-identical hormones, so much is possible.
I wanted to thank you for making me a happier, more energetic person. I went in to see Dr Edgerton because I was borderline depressed and had very little energy. His blood analysis showed me to be severely anemic, vitamin D deficient and very low on testosterone. This information, along with the food test results indicating an extreme allergy to some of the food I was eating every day was a big eye opener. Now, 3 months later and I much happier, energetic, less edgy of a person and give Dr Edgerton all of the credit. I don’t know if I’ve lost too much weight but the puffiness in my cheeks went away so EVERYONE has been asking me how I lost weight…it’s crazy great. Thanks so much for giving me the boost I needed!
I am so glad that I found Premier Health and Wellness for my medical needs. I was suffering with symptoms that no other physician could help me with. I was seen at several different clinics, only for them to tell me I was completely normal and they all made me feel, like I was going crazy. Then I found Dr. Edgerton and Premier Health and Wellness thru a friend and I am so extremely grateful to them. Dr. Edgerton and the staff at Premier Health and Wellness spent the time with me, to uncover what was really going on with my health and 3 months later, I feel better than I did in my early 20’s and I am 59 years old. I am a new woman and have referred many of my close friends to Premier Health and Wellness!”
Bio-identical hormones have made a huge difference in my life. I have more energy, lost weight that I wouldn’t budge before, less irritable and sleeping again. My family likes me better and I feel like I am a new person. Thank you Premier Health and Wellness and Dr. Edgerton for your personal attention to my health and well being.
I went to several other places and actually felt worse, with what they gave me. Dr. Edgerton is an Ob/Gyn and truly understands how women’s bodies work and how hormones play a part in how we feel. He was able to wean me off my anti-depressants and I have started on natural neuro-transmitter supplements, which have made a huge difference in my overall mood.”
I asked how long it would take to see results. Dr. Edgerton told me that most people see results in 4 – 6 weeks. In 2 weeks I saw a huge difference in my energy, focus and libido!
Will always be a patient…. Every person I encountered was so sweet and patient with me. The waiting room was so nice and comfortable making you feel very at home. When I was called back for my appointment they answered all my questions, took there time and helped me through it every step of the way. I have now seen both Holly and Dr. Edgerton and they are so full of knowledgeable information. Stacey is very sweet as well, she helped me with the filling my medication and showed me how my “protocol” would look like over the next year. I highly recommend this practice to everybody. I feel great and owe it all to Premier Health and Wellness!
Wow, what an amazing place. Dr. Edgerton, Holly Stanger NP and their staff have a very ‘natural’ approach to health. The strategy is to take you to ‘optimal health’, with a big emphasis on preventative medicine.
Dr. Edgerton is an excellent doctor. He is interested in not only bloodwork but symptoms that you are experiencing. He takes the time to individualize you as a person and spends the time with you as a patient. He has excellent bedside manner and explains things in detail that you can understand. His staff is friendly and professional. You can tell alot about a doctor just talking to a staff that wants to truly be there. His nurse practitioner, Holly is an asset and they all work together as a team.
I don’t have enough words of appreciation, impression and general comfort I feel when go to this office. These people are amazing and I have never felt more comfortable at the doctor in my life. Their bedside manner is as truly nonpareil as their medical knowledge. I feel my health is in very good hands with these people and constantly recommend them. If you want a personal and comfortable doctor experience in Austin, this to me is the only place to go. Keep up the amazing work, Dr Edgerton et al. Y’all rock
Dr. Edgerton is very thorough and has addressed my many issues including my low vit D, low Progesterone causing sleeplessness, and treating things like my PCOS. I took birth control for 14 years and I was surprised to find out from Dr Edgerton that birth control pills INCREASE your chances for breast cancer. I feel great now, and am no longer tired, I sleep all night and look at least 7 years younger than I did. I have been going to Dr. Edgerton for over 5 years and I have to tell you I have NO symptoms that my friends (my friends that are my age!) complain about., They all have hot flashes, dry skin, no libido, are tired, have irregular periods and cannot sleep. I have not one of those issues. I have recommended Dr. Edgerton to all my friends!
I LOVE this office! Everyone is amazing and very professional. When I went through menopause, my GYN doctor just handed me a prescription for Prozac, and basically said “good luck”. Until I met Dr. Edgerton did I realize that it could be different. Dr. Edgerton spent incredible amount of time with me explaining the details of my lab work. He has been so patient and kind with my hormone journey. Now at 54 years old I feel better than ever. The other services in his office are equally as wonderful. I highly recommend Brooke with her amazing acupuncture skills. Crystal, the esthetician is so professional and knowledgeable with her trade. Plus the laser machine she uses doesn’t hurt like the usual snapping of rubber bands feeling you get with other laser machines. Can’t say enough about Holly the Nurse Practitioner, she is amazing. All and all this office truly cares about your experience and your health.
I went to Dr. Edgerton with severe fatigue and irritability. He listened to my concerns, and my list of symptoms. He tested my thyroid, and discovered my levels were out of normal range. He put me on a low dose thyroid medicine and I feel so much better! No more mid-day fatigue. Dr. E has an amazing bedside manner, and definitely puts his patients at ease. I would 100% recommend him to all of my friends and family.
The Very Best. Caring. Ethical. Efficient. Premier Health & Wellness is Great! I love the Doctor and Staff at Premier Health & Wellness. I went to them after years of problems following a Hysterectomy and a very bad experience at Austin HWC (Hormone Wellness Center). At HWC you didn’t get to see the Doctor and they “repeatedly” overdosed me causing my hair to fall out ( didn’t pay attention to my labs).
Dr. Edgerton is an amazing doctor. He is very thorough and listens to each and every one of your concerns. You never feel rushed like in so many drs offices. After having thyroid and hormone problems since I was a teen, he finally has everything in complete balance. So happy!
I would highly recommend this practice. Dr. Edgerton and his staff are extremely professional. Their knowledge of hormones is really unmatched. I feel so improved after Dr. Edgerton spent the time needed to address all my issues. I don’t foresee having to go to a traditional Doctor any time soon. His hand picked products and supplements are awesome too.
Dr Edgerton has been helping both my husband and I with our hormones. He’s an excellent doctor and always takes time to speak with us. We never feel rushed and he researches everything. His medical assistant has done all of our lab work and is very thorough. Working with the office staff has been easy and convenient. I can always get in touch with them and all requests are responded to quickly.
Dr. Edgerton is the real deal and had all the answers to my hormonal ups and downs. Girls, yeah you having hot flashes and planning someone’s demise. You with the angry look on your face ready to cut a bitch. Listen up! Dr. Edgerton and his warm and wonderful staff are waiting to help you. And if a man dare read this, I was referred by a man. Imagine that. Remember guys, you’ve got hormones, too, and if you need some help with energy or (ahem) other issues, this is the doctor who will get ‘er done! I am finally at the end of my crazy witchy wild hormonal ride. Dr. E and his staff are amazing. There was blood work, office visits, several phone calls and all natural bioidentical hormones. In truth, I have gone back to the future and am feeling like I’m 30.

Dr E is amazing! He has helped me improve my life and health. I am thankful he was able to find an issue with my thyroid no other Dr had been able to diagnose. This simple find has made a huge difference!! He is a very thorough doctor who really listens and takes care of each patients individual needs!!
Cannot say anything but great things about Dr. E. He is such an amazing doctor! I am so glad I found him. Office staff is beyond kind. If anyone needs a doctor to listen and diagnose any issue you have regarding hormones this is the place to go. Highly recommend!
I had been having health issues, I had a small laundry list of complaints including brain fog and terrible fatigue but when my libido hit rock bottom at 31 I had had it! I even tried a very strict raw food diet and nothing seemed to make it go away. So after doing alot of reading and suspecting that I had nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalance I searched for a doctor here in town to do the blood work and help me feel better. The first doctor I went to did blood work that confirmed some pretty severe imbalances. Though they were able to help me get my iron and B-12 back up, they were extremely reluctant to prescribe bio-identical hormones for my other problems and I was still feeling terrible and not seeing results.
Dr Edgerton & Staff are above & beyond Excellent! I am very thankful for a doctor who is knowledgeable in hormones and the importance of keeping the levels balanced safely. When I found out Dr Edgerton actually visited the compounding facility he wanted to use to make sure they were the best, I knew he was the doctor I wanted to go to for my care. He and his staff are compassionate, have integrity, and go the extra mile to make sure I am feeling & doing my best. Thank you and God Bless!
Dr. Edgerton is a god sent. I’m a 66 year old woman that has reached this mature young age begrudgingly. My energy level was low and I was waking up frequently. I had seen my regular Dr. over the past years and like most doctors was pushing me toward synthetic hormone replacement, which I’m not a fan. I finally reached out to Dr. Edgerton – I was hesitant as I always liked seeing female doctors for gynecology issues. I was very impressed – he only prescribes natural hormone remedies but also suggests diet changes to help you grow into your new age. He is patient and knowledgeable and actually really cares about women’s health. It’s been several months and my energy is the best ever – I’m eating healthier – sleeping better and trying to walk more. We are still working on that one. I can go on and on about how he has helped me – instead I’ll just continue seeing him. Thank you Dr. E.
Dr Edgerton is a wonderful doctor, who I feel comfortable with and explains things well, if I ever have questions he always answers them. The staff is also great, pleasant and very good response time, when needing a call back. Thank you all for the great work you do!
Front of office of staff is very courteous and understanding can’t think of a better place to go Doctor Edgerton was very informative. Couldn’t ask for anything better.
I had an EXCELLENT phone call with Dr. Edgerton as he and I reviewed my recent hormone blood lab work. Since I am very detailed, love to learn, and have a science analytical “out of the box” way of thinking, all the details and explanations that Dr. E gives me for all my questions (and I have many from all angles), is absolutely appreciated.
