About Phoenix Women's Health

What is Phoenix Women's Health?

Phoenix Women's Health is a women's health practice at 4650 Whitesburg Drive, Suite 203, in Huntsville, Alabama. Its main work is obstetrics and gynecology. Alongside that it offers cosmetic procedures (MonaLisa Touch, Elite IQ, Votiva, Body FX and Fractora), wellness programs built on integrative medicine, and hormone therapy. Hours are 9am to 5pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, with a lunch closure from 1 to 2pm. It is open 9am to 1pm on Friday and closed Wednesday. OB/GYN appointments are booked by phone at (256) 382-5210, and other services go through an online contact form.

The clinic names three clinicians: Zania A. Parker M.D., who is president and CEO of the practice; Hugh W. Bailey M.D., F.A.C.O.G., who has practiced since 1981 and has served the Huntsville area since 1992; and Shequita Bridgeforth, WHNP, a board certified women's health nurse practitioner. The clinic does not say which of them prescribes hormone therapy. In its own words: "Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment option for women who show symptoms of menopause."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for visits, procedures, hormone therapy or wellness programs. It does not state a consultation fee, whether insurance is accepted, or whether a price includes the medication. What it does publish are its cancellation fees. A missed appointment or one not cancelled at least 24 hours ahead carries a $75 fee. In-office procedures and surgeries carry a $150 fee if they are not cancelled at least 72 hours ahead. Unpaid fees must be paid in full before new appointments are booked.

The clinic lists CareCredit, a patient financing option, under its patient information menu. It does not say how CareCredit applies to hormone therapy or visits.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with hormone therapy, since that is the service most readers will call about. Ask which clinician prescribes it and whether you will see that person at the first visit. Ask what the fee covers, and whether it includes the medication, lab work and follow-up visits. The hormone section discusses bio-identical hormones, so ask which products are used and whether they are brand name, FDA-approved or compounded. Ask whether any part of the care can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say.

If you are interested in the wellness programs, ask what a patient actually receives and what it costs. The wellness section lists topics such as stress, heart rate variability and intravenous nutritional therapy, but it does not describe a patient program with steps or prices. The clinic does not list a medical weight loss program, so ask directly if that is what you came for. Before booking any procedure, confirm the cancellation windows and fees that apply to it.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are already seeking OB/GYN care in Huntsville and want hormone therapy or cosmetic procedures from the same practice. It is not the place to start if you need medical weight loss or a telehealth program, since the clinic does not list either.
