About Clear Choice Physicians

What is Clear Choice Physicians?

Clear Choice Physicians is a primary care and cardiology practice in Mesa, Arizona, with one office on East Brown Road. Shantha Kumar, MD, a board certified cardiologist, leads the practice alongside Krystal Cherapan, ACNP-BC, FNP-BC, an acute care and family nurse practitioner. Weight loss management and hormone replacement therapy are two of several services offered here, alongside internal medicine, cardiology, gynecology, chronic care management, wound care, addiction treatment, and a mobile physician service that travels to patients' homes or care facilities around Mesa. Krystal Cherapan handles the hormone replacement side and is described as a certified BioTE provider, working from blood tests to set and adjust hormone dosing. The weight loss program includes a physical exam and in-office lab work to check for hormone imbalances or nutrient deficiencies before any plan is built, and it can include prescription medications or injections alongside diet and exercise guidance. This is a general medical practice first, with weight loss and hormones run as structured programs inside it rather than the whole focus of the business.

What does it cost?

Clear Choice Physicians advertises a free confidential consultation. Beyond that, it does not publish prices for weight loss management, hormone replacement therapy, or any related lab work, medication, or follow-up visits. It does say it will bill insurance for eligible visits but does not guarantee coverage, and notes that some visits and services are not billed through insurance at all, which suggests some of what you'd pay for weight loss or hormone care may be cash pay. Ask directly what a visit, the labs, and any prescribed medication will cost before you book, since none of that is listed anywhere.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether your initial visit and ongoing weight loss or hormone appointments will be with Krystal Cherapan or with Dr. Kumar, since only those two are named as prescribers here. Ask whether weight loss medications or hormone prescriptions are billed through insurance or treated as cash pay, given the practice's own language about some services not being covered. Ask what the lab work costs separately from the visit, since both programs rely on blood tests to set doses. Ask whether a specific medication would be brand name or compounded, and what the follow-up schedule and its cost look like once you're on a prescription. If you can't get to the Mesa office, ask whether the mobile physician service can manage either program at your location, since that capability is mentioned for mobile visits generally but not specifically tied to pricing or availability for these two programs.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want weight loss or hormone care folded into a general medical practice with in-house labs and a named, credentialed prescriber, rather than a stand-alone weight loss or hormone clinic. It's a less direct fit if you are looking for published pricing up front or a menu of peptide and longevity treatments, since neither is part of what this practice lists.
