For years, patients in North Texas seeking advanced care for intimate health, hormone optimization, and regenerative medicine had one option. Travel. Comprehensive, specialty care meant a drive to Dallas at best, a flight to California or another state at worst. In Arlington’s Viridian community, that’s no longer the case. Two practices sharing a single address have brought a level of expertise, typically found only in major coastal cities, directly to North Texas. It’s the kind of care patients used to fly across the country for, now available a few minutes from home. It’s the kind of access most cities twice Arlington’s size don’t have.
Revique Medical, led by Amy Haddad, MSN, APRN, FNP, provides non-surgical, functional medicine care for both men and women. The Alinsod Institute, led by internationally recognized urogynecologist Dr. Red Alinsod, provides surgical care exclusively for women. Together, they’re two practices with one philosophy, each covering half of what patients need, without the travel that used to come with it. That philosophy starts the same way for every patient, with a clear picture of what’s happening inside their body. Most visits begin with a simple panel of labs, read through a functional, root-cause lens, not a standard checkup.
How World-Class Expertise Landed in Arlington
The relationship goes back to 2016, when Haddad flew to California to train directly under Dr. Alinsod, gaining advanced education in non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation, hormone optimization, and regenerative medicine. At the time, Dr. Alinsod practiced in Laguna Beach and was already known internationally for women’s health, pelvic reconstructive surgery, and physician education. His physician training program has carried his techniques around the world. He’s trained hundreds of physicians across multiple continents and has taught live surgical courses for nearly three decades. Patients and providers travel to see him from across the country and abroad, and his name carries weight well beyond Texas.
Haddad, who had spent a decade practicing in Highland Park, made a bet of her own, believing this level of care belonged in Arlington, not just in Dallas or on the California coast. In 2022, Dr. Alinsod relocated his practice from Laguna Beach to Highland Park, bringing decades of specialized surgical experience. The two reunited to build their partnership, six years after Haddad first trained under him. Rather than merging into a single undifferentiated practice, they built two specialties operating side by side out of one Arlington address.
The choice wasn’t only about specialties. Viridian sits close to the center of DFW, giving patients across the metroplex easy access, and it’s a short drive from the airport for patients who fly in from out of town. “I’m honored to treat patients alongside a physician with Dr. Alinsod’s experience,” Haddad says. “We share the same beliefs about care, and that trust means neither of us has to be everything to every patient. He handles the surgical side; I handle the rest.”
Walk through the doors, and neither practice feels like a hospital or a typical medical office. From the waiting area to the exam rooms, the space is intimate, warm, and elevated, closer to a private retreat than a clinical setting, built around the idea that talking about your body should feel natural, not clinical.
Revique Medical: Functional, Non-Surgical Care for Men and Women
Revique, led by Amy Haddad, MSN, APRN, FNP, is the non-surgical side of the partnership, where the patient population widens beyond women. What sets Revique apart isn’t just the services on the menu. It’s the approach, functional medicine, which treats hormones, metabolism, and gut health as connected systems instead of separate symptoms. In practice, that might look like a mother whose energy never returned after childbirth, or a fifty-something executive who assumed his fatigue was just aging, both discovering through a simple round of labs that a treatable hormone imbalance was behind it. Haddad’s team often starts there, with lab work most patients have never had ordered before. Haddad’s practice treats both men and women, focusing on hormone optimization, peptide therapy, regenerative medicine, weight management, non-surgical intimate wellness, and medical aesthetics. Revique does not perform surgery of any kind. Instead, it’s built around conservative, function-first care for patients who aren’t candidates for surgery, aren’t ready for it, or simply don’t need it.
“Our priority is to create a private, safe, and supportive space for men and women to have a voice in a system that too often writes off their symptoms as ‘just a normal part of aging,’” Haddad says.
That includes concerns that have historically gotten little airtime in traditional medicine. Bladder changes, hormonal shifts, and tissue changes tied to childbirth or menopause are common examples. For many patients, the starting point is as simple as assessing comprehensive hormone panels, metabolic health, and inflammatory markers instead of waiting for symptoms to arise or worsen. Revique’s regenerative offerings, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), exosomes, and more, give the practice several non-surgical tools before surgery ever enters the conversation.
Functional Medicine, for Men Too
That same functional, non-surgical approach at Revique isn’t only for women. It’s a core part of the practice’s care for men as well. Think of a weekend athlete whose recovery time has quietly crept longer, or a father in his forties whose weight has climbed with no real change in diet. For many men, hormones are the missing piece a standard physical rarely catches. Hormone and peptide optimization through Revique addresses how testosterone and other hormonal shifts can affect energy, weight, and quality of life as patients age. Regenerative therapies like PRP and peptide protocols give men a path toward addressing those changes directly, instead of accepting them as inevitable.
“Two women, or two men, experiencing similar symptoms may still need very different care,” Haddad notes.
Age, history, prior treatments, personal goals, and comfort level all factor into which path makes sense. That’s true whether the patient walking through Revique’s door is a man managing hormonal changes at forty-five or a woman recovering from a procedure across the hall. In both cases, the starting point is the same.
The Alinsod Institute: Surgical Care, Exclusively for Women
On the other side of that philosophy is the Alinsod Institute, led by Dr. Red Alinsod, an internationally recognized urogynecologist, a surgeon specializing in female pelvic health, where surgical solutions live. Dr. Alinsod’s expertise includes pelvic reconstruction, bladder lifts, vaginoplasty, labiaplasty, and surgical repair of birth-related trauma, for women who need more than a conservative or non-surgical approach can offer. His work also extends to surgical solutions for lichen sclerosis, pelvic organ prolapse, and genitourinary syndrome of menopause, known as GSM. Until recently, that kind of global reputation simply wasn’t available to North Texas patients without a plane ticket.
Before medicine became his signature, Dr. Alinsod spent twelve years in the U.S. Air Force, including active duty service. He later co-edited “Female Cosmetic Genital Surgery,” one of the field’s defining textbooks, putting him among the people who helped write the specialty, not just practice it.
Dr. Alinsod’s influence on the field goes beyond the operating room. He holds patents on several medical technologies used by providers worldwide, including ThermiVa, a radiofrequency device he invented for non-surgical vaginal and labial tightening, along with surgical instruments such as the Lone Star vaginal retractor and the Alinsod Scissors, now standard tools in the field. It’s an inventor’s résumé few surgeons can claim, and it’s now based in Arlington. He also founded Gynflix, the world’s first e-learning platform for cosmetic gynecology, essentially the specialty’s own streaming service for surgeons mastering his techniques.
When surgery is the right path, the Alinsod Institute considers both function and appearance together, restoring physical comfort while also addressing how a patient feels about the changes surgery can repair. The practice describes this as “surgical beauty,” function first, with confidence and aesthetics considered alongside it, never in place of it.
That same emphasis on comfort shapes how the surgeries themselves happen. The majority of Dr. Alinsod’s procedures are done in-office rather than in a hospital, and many patients are drawn to his no-IV approach, local anesthesia instead of general or IV sedation, which tends to mean an easier, faster recovery without the grogginess of going fully under.
Two Paths Through the Same Concerns
Because the two practices share a location and a relationship, patients don’t have to figure out which door to walk through. A woman dealing with birth trauma, for example, might start at Revique, where non-surgical options are evaluated first. If her symptoms call for more than a conservative approach, she’s referred directly to the Alinsod Institute for surgical repair. The reverse happens too. Patients recovering from Alinsod Institute surgery may continue non-surgical maintenance and hormone support at Revique.
The same holds for bladder health. Revique offers non-surgical management, while the Alinsod Institute offers surgical options like bladder lifts when needed. The benefit of keeping the two practices distinct is to start with a conversation, and often a lab draw, instead of a predetermined procedure.
A Second Chance, On Either Side of the Hall
What ties Revique and the Alinsod Institute together isn’t a shared service menu. It’s a shared refusal to let patients be told their symptoms are simply something to live with. Whether that means a non-surgical treatment plan with Amy Haddad’s team or a surgical consultation with Dr. Alinsod, the goal is the same: restored function, restored comfort, and for many patients, a second chance at feeling like themselves again.
It’s also a reminder of how much has changed for patients in North Texas. Care that once required a trip to Dallas or Laguna Beach now exists a few minutes from home, backed by providers whose reputations extend well beyond state lines. For Arlington, that’s the real story. World-class expertise didn’t just arrive nearby. It arrived here. For anyone who’s been dismissing how they feel as ‘just getting older,’ it might be worth starting the conversation with a consultation.
