About Orange Coast Women's Medical Group

What is Orange Coast Women's Medical Group?

Orange Coast Women's Medical Group is an OB/GYN and midwifery practice with offices in Laguna Hills, Irvine, San Clemente, Tustin, Foothill Ranch, Mission Viejo and Newport Beach. Its main work is obstetric and gynecologic care, midwifery, preventive screening and surgery. Hormone therapy is one service among these, listed under gynecological care. Google lists the practice as a women's health clinic, with a rating of 4.7 from 80 reviews.

Other listed services include diagnostic testing, operative procedures, minimally invasive surgery, Monalisa Touch and nutrition. Its staff works in languages including Cantonese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish and Vietnamese.

The practice offers bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, including BioTE pellet therapy. The pellets are small implants placed under the skin in the office. It describes them as containing estrogen and testosterone that a compounding pharmacist prepares. In its own words: "A compounding pharmacist, using strict federal guidelines, compounds the estrogen and testosterone utilized in the pellets."

Its listed prescribers are Carolyn Patchett, Julie Hahn, MSN, WHNP-BC, Sarah Graziani, FNP-BC, MSN, and Krysten Provencio. It does not say which of them provides hormone therapy.

This listing is for its Tustin office at 15000 Kensington Park Dr, Suite 370.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for hormone therapy or pellet therapy. It gives no consultation fee, and it does not say whether pellet medication is included in any price. It also does not say whether insurance is accepted for this care.

Ask for every charge in writing before your first visit. That means the consultation, the pellet visit, the medication, and any follow-up or lab work. Ask whether any membership terms apply, and get the cancellation terms before you pay anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescription. Ask which clinician provides hormone therapy, and whether that person is one of the prescribers listed above. Ask whether the pellets are compounded, which pharmacy prepares them, and whether any fee you pay covers the medication itself.

Then ask about care after the first visit. Find out how often pellets are replaced, what a follow-up visit costs, and whether lab work is billed separately. The main line is (949) 829-5533, but the hormone therapy information gives (949) 829-5500 for pellet consultations, so ask which number reaches the hormone team. Telehealth is not mentioned, so ask whether any follow-up can be done by video.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone therapy from a women's practice that also handles gynecology, pregnancy and midwifery care, and you are willing to get the prescriber and pricing answers in writing before you book. If you are looking for weight loss, peptide or longevity programs, this practice does not list those services.
