Marina OB/GYN - Carson
Verified listingAbout Marina OB/GYN - Carson
Marina OB/GYN in Carson is one office of a seven-office obstetrics and gynaecology group, at 301 West Carson Street Carson, CA 90745. It offers hormone replacement therapy, weight loss, gynaecological surgery and a set of aesthetic treatments. No price is published for anything, anywhere on the site, and the practice never states whether it bills insurance. On a cash-pay reading, both gaps are significant.
## What is offered at Carson?
The service list is practice-wide rather than Carson-specific. Hormone Replacement Therapy and Weight Loss head the list for anyone arriving from a longevity search. Core gynaecology covers Birth Control, IUD Placement, Colposcopy, Cryotherapy, Fibroids, Heavy Bleeding, HPV, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Urinary Incontinence. Surgical work includes Hysterectomy, Myomectomy, Labiaplasty, Vaginoplasty, Gentle C-Section and DaVinci Robotic Surgery. Aesthetic and device work includes Botox, Laser Hair Removal, Co2 Vaginal Laser and Vaginal Rejuvenation.
The hormone page names its pellet systems: Pellecome bioidentical hormone treatments, Pellecome pellet technology and BioTe pellet technology. It lists the symptoms it aims at, including thinning hair, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, weight gain, low sex drive and mood swings. It gives no dose, no price and no named prescriber, and states no eligibility criteria.
## What does it cost, and how is it billed?
Nothing is published. There is no consultation fee, no pellet price, no weight loss program cost and no membership of any kind on the site.
Insurance is not stated either. We opened the new patients page specifically looking for an accepted-plans list or a cash-pay policy and found neither. What we can say is that appointments and records run through an athenahealth patient portal. That is billing infrastructure rather than a policy statement, so do not read it as a promise in either direction. Phone and ask what you will pay and how, because the website will not tell you.
## Who would you see?
Jamie Lipeles, DO is the only clinician the site places at Carson. He is published as board-certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the providers page lists him across Marina Del Rey, Hawthorne, Carson and South Gate.
The wider roster names roughly twenty people, including physicians, physician assistants, certified nurse midwives and nurse practitioners, but almost all are assigned to Marina Del Rey and Hawthorne only, and several carry no location at all. So Carson appears on the public site to be covered by one named physician, with the rest of the group unassigned to this office.
## What the site does not publish
Hours are the striking one. The site publishes no opening hours for Carson, and none for any of its seven offices. The only Carson-specific page is an office tour, which is an address plus a photo gallery: no hours, no staff, no Carson-specific services. The contact page repeats the Carson address with the group's shared phone line and, again, no hours.
Also missing: any telehealth or virtual visit offering and any list of states; any service area or cities-served statement; any commitment length or cancellation terms; any founding year or years-in-practice claim; and any step-by-step account of how the hormone program works, from intake through labs to follow-up.
One structural note for anyone comparing listings. Carson, Torrance and Long Beach are three branches of a single practice sharing one website, so their service content and their silence on price are identical by design. All of this was checked on 22 September 2026.
