About ICONA Health

What is ICONA Health?

ICONA Health is a hormone and urology clinic at 3415 Independence Dr, Ste 108, Birmingham, AL 35209. The phone number is (205) 791-5210. Alan McCool, FACS, MD, is the prescriber named, and the clinic describes him as a board-certified urologist with more than 20 years of medical and surgical experience. Google lists the clinic as a medical clinic with a 4.7 rating from 13 reviews.

The clinic offers two groups of care. For women, it lists perimenopause, menopause, and PMOS/PCOS. For men, it lists low testosterone, erectile dysfunction, and general urology. The medications it names are estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. Testosterone can be given as injections, topical gel, or pellets, and pellets are placed in the office during a procedure. For injections and gel, prescriptions go to your pharmacy, and the clinic does not sell testosterone itself. No weight loss, peptide, or longevity service is listed.

What does it cost?

ICONA Health does not publish prices, and no consultation fee is listed. It also does not say whether medication is included in any charge, whether insurance is accepted, or whether there is a membership plan or financing option. Ask for each of these in writing before you book. Ask what a first visit costs, what a follow-up visit costs, and what lab work costs.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether Dr. McCool writes your prescription, and who handles your care when he is not available. Ask whether the testosterone you would receive is brand-name or compounded. The clinic's own material says custom doses of testosterone gel and cream can be compounded, so the answer matters for both quality and price.

If pellets interest you, ask what the placement procedure costs and how often it has to be repeated. Ask how often labs and visits are scheduled and what each one costs. Visits are typically every three to four months during adjustment, then about every six months once treatment is stable.

Testosterone replacement may reduce sperm production, so raise any fertility plans before you start. Finally, ask how cancellation works, whether telehealth visits are available, and whether any part of the visit is covered by insurance. The clinic does not address these.

In its own words: "Good care should feel personal."

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are looking for hormone care for perimenopause, menopause, or low testosterone, or urology care for erectile dysfunction, and you want a physician who leads the visit. It is not the match if your main goal is weight loss medication, peptides, or longevity medicine, since the clinic does not list those services.
