About MITA Functional Medicine

What is MITA Functional Medicine?

MITA Functional Medicine is an integrative medicine practice with offices in Evergreen and Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Hormone therapy is its core service. It offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for women and for men, and it names bioidentical testosterone pellets as the main treatment. In its own words: "We use the best bio-identical hormones that contain no fillers." The practice also lists weight loss, functional medicine, neurofeedback, red light therapy, supplements and personalized plans.

Mary Page Smith, FNP, WHC-NP and Shelley Meyer, DO, IFMCP are the two named prescribers, and Dr. Meyer is the medical director. Mary Page Smith reports over 27 years of experience. Cindy Middleton and Becky Reece are health coaches (FMCA, Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach), not prescribers. The Google listing shows 5 stars from 24 reviews.

What does it cost?

The women's new patient startup package is $400. It covers an initial consultation, a first pellet insertion, follow-up care and a bottle of DIM detox. Maintenance is $275 per insertion, starting after the first three months. Labs are billed separately to LabCorp and are not included in maintenance. It does not say whether the $400 covers the pellets themselves.

No price is published for men's BHRT or for the plans, including Basic Care, Commit to Health Care and the Peak Health Plan. The Commit plan asks for a six-month commitment. Testing costs can frequently be covered by insurance, but the practice does not say whether it bills insurance. Cancellation terms are not stated.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription, and whether Mary Page Smith or Shelley Meyer will see you for hormone care. Ask whether the $400 or the $275 insertion fee includes the testosterone pellets, or whether the medication is billed on top. Ask whether the pellets are compounded or brand-name products. Ask what men's BHRT costs, how often insertions are needed, and what a full year adds up to once labs are included. Ask what follow-up visits cost.

If you are interested in weight loss, ask whether the program includes prescription medication, and which one. Ask how cancellation works on a six-month plan and whether any money is refunded. Ask which office you would use, since no street address is published for Wheat Ridge. Finally, ask about hours and telehealth, since neither is listed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone therapy from a named prescriber and you are ready to pay cash for a plan that runs several months. It is a weaker fit if you need a published price for men's care, or if you want hours and cancellation terms in writing before you commit.
