About Brooks Women's Center

What is Brooks Women's Center?

Brooks Women's Center is mainly an OB/GYN practice in Granada Hills, California, at 10515 Balboa Boulevard, Suite 160, phone 818 831-6611. The prescriber named for the practice is Marlon Brooks MD, FACOG, FACS, who is listed as medical director. The practice was established in 1998 and opened a Santa Clarita office in 2006.

Its services are gynecology and urogynecology, obstetrics, menopause options, aesthetics, and lifestyle medicine. Hormone therapy falls under menopause options. The clinic offers bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (HTCA) as an implanted pellet, which it describes as lasting 3-4 months. It names one medication, Estravera, alongside more traditional therapies and nutritional supplements. Its pellet program is offered in partnership with Hormone Therapy Centers of America. Dr. Brooks is bilingual in English and Spanish and has privileges at Northridge Medical Center and Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital.

In its own words: "Dr. Brooks and his staff are fully trained in the field of Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Pellet Therapy and would be more than happy to assist in finding out if pellet therapy is right for you."

On Google, the practice is rated 3 from 37 reviews, under the category Gynecologist.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices. It does not state a consultation fee, a price per pellet visit, or membership terms. It does not say whether pellet therapy is covered or whether insurance is accepted, and it does not say whether a price would include the medication. Ask for the full cost of your first visit, the pellet procedure, and any repeat visits before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who places the pellets and who signs the prescription for Estravera and the pellets, and whether Dr. Brooks does both. Ask whether the pellets are brand-name or compounded, and who makes them. Ask what a repeat pellet visit costs, since the clinic describes the pellets as lasting 3-4 months, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether any part of this can be done by telehealth, because the clinic does not say. Ask which office you would be seen at, since the Santa Clarita office has no published address. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether you pay for visits you miss.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an OB/GYN practice that has been open since 1998, with a menopause program in the San Fernando Valley, and you are ready to get pellet pricing and insurance answers in writing before you commit. If you need posted prices or telehealth before you call, you will have to ask for them directly.
