About Southwest Contemporary Women's Care

What is Southwest Contemporary Women's Care?

Southwest Contemporary Women's Care is an OB/GYN practice with offices in Ahwatukee (16611 S. 40th St.), Gilbert (2550 E. Guadalupe Rd.), and Tempe (6301 S. McClintock Dr.), all in the Phoenix area, and it describes itself as caring for women in Gilbert, Mesa, Ahwatukee, Chandler, Laveen, and Tempe. Obstetrics and gynecology are its main work: prenatal care, gynecological care, breast health and mammography, birth control, infertility services, and surgery. Among its women's healthcare services it lists bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, stating "we have physicians and nurse practitioners specializing in menopausal medicine including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy." It names two non-hormonal menopause medications in its own writing, paroxetine (Brisdelle) and Relizen. It also offers telemedicine virtual visits and has been practicing in Arizona since 1981. Office hours are Monday through Thursday 7:30 am to 5:00 pm and Friday 7:30 am to 2:30 pm.

This listing is for its Phoenix office at 16611 S. 40th St. Suite 180.

What does it cost?

No prices are published for hormone therapy, consultations, or any other service. There is nothing posted about whether a visit is billed through insurance or paid out of pocket, and no mention of membership or financing. If you are weighing this against a cash-pay hormone clinic, you will need to call and ask what a visit and any ongoing hormone management actually cost.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which specific provider you would see for hormone therapy and what credentials that person holds, since the practice's prescriber list includes physicians, nurse practitioners (WHNP, WHNP-BC), and certified nurse midwives (CNM), and the hormone therapy page does not name who you would be assigned to. Ask whether the hormones discussed would be bioidentical, compounded, or FDA-approved brand products, and whether a prescription would mean a trip to a retail pharmacy or something else. Ask whether insurance is billed for the visit and for any lab work, since none of that is stated, and ask what a follow-up visit costs if you start a medication and need dose changes.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you already see, or want to see, an OB/GYN for your general gynecological care and would rather discuss menopause symptoms and hormone options with that same practice than find a separate hormone-only clinic. It is less of a fit if you are looking for published pricing up front or want to compare cash-pay hormone programs before you ever pick up the phone.
