Borealis LIFE

About Borealis LIFE

What is Borealis LIFE?

Borealis LIFE is a gynecology practice. Most of its work is minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and treatment of endometriosis, uterine fibroids and pelvic pain. It has offices in Anchorage and Wasilla. The physicians are Dr. Matthew Lindemann, Dr. Shiloh Small, FACOG, MD, and Dr. Patricia Capo. Dr. Angelia Trujillo, DNP, MSN, WHNP, WHNP-BC, is a nurse practitioner who offers its hormone therapy.

Its other services include robotic surgery, treatment of irregular and heavy menstrual bleeding, reproductive and sexual health, and aesthetic services given by a registered nurse. Botox® is the only medication it names. It does not list weight loss, peptide therapy or longevity care. It holds a 5 rating on Google from 57 reviews. All staff members are educated in trauma-informed care.

Telehealth is part of how it works. In its own words: "We incorporate a vigorous virtual practice including telemedicine that will allow patients to be in control of the patient/physician interaction."

This listing is for its Anchorage office at 2501 E 42nd Ave.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for visits, surgery, hormone therapy or aesthetic services, including Botox®. The first phone consultation is free. The fee for a first in-person visit is not stated. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether any fee covers the medication, or whether it offers financing, HSA payment, membership terms or a cancellation policy. Ask about each of these before you agree to anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Call 907-206-4689 and ask these before you book. Ask who writes the hormone therapy prescription, since Dr. Trujillo is a nurse practitioner, and whether a physician is involved. Ask whether the hormone therapy fee includes the medication, and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether insurance is accepted at all.

Ask whether hormone therapy is offered in Wasilla or only in Anchorage. The practice does not say which states its telehealth covers, so ask that too. Finally, ask how to cancel any treatment plan or program, and whether there is a notice period.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone therapy from a practice that also treats endometriosis, fibroids or pelvic pain, and you want the prescriber and the cost confirmed before you book. It does not list weight loss, peptide or longevity programs, so those are worth looking for elsewhere.
