C.W. (Randy) Randolph, Jr., M.D.

Dr. Randolph is internationally recognized for his natural medicine approach to women's health concerns. As a trained pharmacist and Board Certified practicing gynecologist, Dr. Randolph has treated thousands of women suffering from the symptoms of hormone imbalance. For more than a decade, Dr. Randolph has built a sound foundation of clinical evidence to support the safety and efficacy of treating patients with human-identical hormones (e.g. estrogens, progesterone, testosterone) vs. synthetic hormone replacement therapies (HRT).

Dr. Randolph was first trained as a pharmacist and graduated from Auburn University's School of Pharmacy. He then received his medical doctoral education at Louisiana State University's School of Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana. In concert with his belief in the efficacy of natural medicine, Dr. Randolph has sought out continuing medical educational forums emphasizing the value of more holistic and natural approaches to patient care and treatment. In 2000, he completed an intensive training on integrated medicine at Columbia University Medical School.

In addition to his multi-faceted clinical expertise and his professional credibility, Dr. Randolph evidences great success as an entrepreneur and business leader within the medical community. In 2003, he founded The Natural Hormone Institute of America in order to formalize a business entity committed to the ongoing research and development of human-identical hormone therapies.

As a result of his commitment to a more caring and informed approach to treating women's health concerns, Dr. Randolph is celebrated as a physician champion of natural medicine and women's health, as well as a pioneer in the realms of personalized medicine and natural hormone therapies. By founding The Natural Hormone Institute of America, Dr. Randolph continues to expand his commitment to a mission to improve the traditional healthcare delivery system by championing patient advocacy, physician training and, most specifically, human-identical hormone therapies.

Dr. Randolph was born and raised in Apalachicola, a small town in the panhandle of Florida. He feels that his heightened awareness as to the importance of listening and caring is most probably derived from having been nurtured in a community where everyone was known and everyone's concerns mattered. As a physician of natural medicine, Dr. Randolph believes that it has been the love of his family that has provided him with the stamina and courage to forge into realms of medicine that were previously somewhat controversial. As a healer, Dr. Randolph humbly acknowledges that his talents are derived from a Higher Power and it is his privilege to serve others with his work.
