BioTE Medical has awarded Dr. Jason Black, ND, owner of Oregon Derma Center, its Certified Provider credential, given to physicians who complete the company's clinical training in bioidentical hormone pellet therapy. Black now holds the designation, known as BioTE Certified Provider status.
Oregon Derma Center, a physician-led naturopathic aesthetic and regenerative medicine practice in McMinnville, has offered BioTE Hormone Pellets to patients across Yamhill County and the greater Willamette Valley for symptoms tied to hormonal imbalance, including fatigue, weight changes, low libido and mood shifts. Every pellet insertion at the practice is performed directly by Black, not delegated to office staff. The practice also offers Fotona laser treatments, cosmetic injectables and RF microneedling. Hormone therapy, though, runs as its own clinical track with a separate intake process and lab review rather than an add-on to a cosmetic visit.
Bioidentical hormone pellet therapy uses small pellets inserted beneath the skin during a brief in-office procedure. The pellets release bioidentical hormones, meaning hormones structurally identical to those the body produces on its own, steadily over three to six months. Patients do not track a daily dose, the way they would with pills, creams, or injections.
The certification separates providers who have completed the manufacturer's clinical training from providers who offer pellet therapy without that additional step. BioTE does not require a provider to hold the credential before dispensing its pellets. The credential shows Black chose to complete that clinical training even though the pellets themselves did not require it, a step not every provider takes. At Oregon Derma Center, dosing is set individually for each patient based on lab work and symptom history rather than a standard protocol applied across the board. Patients typically return every few months for a follow-up pellet placement, timed to how quickly their body uses the hormone dose rather than a fixed calendar.
At Oregon Derma Center, the credential is documented training, not marketing language. Every treatment plan, hormone therapy included, is built around the patient's anatomy, goals, budget, and schedule rather than a standard package. Nothing here is cookie-cutter. Lab results and symptom history, not a fixed formula, determine each hormone therapy plan.
Black's naturopathic training shapes his evaluation: a hormone panel, bloodwork that shows current hormone levels, comes first, along with sleep patterns and stress levels. Fatigue, weight changes, and low mood can stem from causes hormone therapy alone will not resolve. That evaluation also typically includes a look at current medications and family health history, and it happens before a pellet is placed, not after a patient reports the treatment is not working. Physician oversight applies to hormone therapy the same way it applies to injectables and laser treatments at the practice.
"This training changes how I approach every pellet placement," said Dr. Jason Black, ND, owner of Oregon Derma Center. "It means I hold myself to BioTE's placement and follow-up standards every time, whether it's a patient's first cycle or their tenth, because patients deserve to know their provider actually went through that training and takes it just as seriously years later," Black added.
