This listing is for its Carmel office at 26365 Carmel Rancho Blvd f.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for HRT or menopause visits. It does not say whether medication is included in any charge. It offers a "Free Confidential Consultation," and it does not accept insurance. In its own words: "We do not accept any insurance." Visits are paid at the time of service. It has a membership form and an annual renewal page, but the annual cooperative fee is not stated. It does not publish commitment or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether Dr. Taylor will be the one prescribing your HRT and who handles follow-up. Ask which medication you would receive, and whether it is brand-name or compounded, since it does not say. Ask whether the annual cooperative fee covers visits, medication and blood work. Your annual physical includes blood work, so ask what that costs and what any lab work or follow-up costs separately.

Ask whether follow-up can be done by phone or video, because it does not clearly offer telehealth. Ask how to cancel and whether a membership has a set term. Treatment plans often include supplements, so ask whether those cost extra.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are looking for menopause care from one physician in Carmel, you are prepared to pay cash for every visit, and you want the annual fee, medication cost and cancellation terms confirmed before you book. If you need weight loss, peptide or longevity care, or video visits, it does not list those, so call first and ask.
