About Sound Obstetrics & Gynecology

What is Sound Obstetrics & Gynecology?

Sound Obstetrics & Gynecology is a women's health practice with offices in Shelton, New Haven and Guilford, Connecticut. It has been serving women and families in Connecticut since 1977, and it describes itself as affiliated with Yale Medicine. Its core work is obstetrics and gynecology, from pregnancy care to gynecologic surgery, and menopause care is one of its eight listed services.

The practice lists obstetrics, gynecology, infertility, menopause, surgery, family planning, urogynecology and well woman care. For menopause, it lists managing genitourinary syndromes and sexual disorders of menopause, diagnosing osteoporosis, and hormone replacement. It does not name the hormone medications it uses. Ten clinicians are listed as prescribers: eight physicians (Thomas Hanson, FACOG, MD; Musa Speranza, FACOG, MD; Steven Fleischman, FACOG, MBA, MD; Michael Reel, FACOG, MD; Margaret Baumbusch, FACOG, MD; Meagan Campol, MD, MPH; Elizabeth Ackley, FACOG, MD; and Leanne McCloskey, FACOG, MD), plus Chelsea Carter, APRN, FNP-BC, MSN, and Grace Hovey, DNP. Its Google listing shows a 4.4 rating from 21 reviews.

This listing is for its Guilford office at 246 Goose Ln #200.

What does it cost?

The practice does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance, whether any fee includes medication, or whether it offers membership terms or financing. Patient resources include a document called Insurance Programs, which is worth reading before you call. Plan on asking for the cost of the first visit and each follow-up in writing.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the hormone prescription and whether that person is one of the physicians or one of the two advanced practice clinicians. Ask which hormone replacement medications the practice uses, and whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask what the lab work and follow-up visits cost, and whether any of that is billed to insurance or paid in cash.

Ask whether menopause visits can be done by telehealth or only in person, and which office you would be seen at. Finally, ask how a visit is cancelled or rescheduled, and whether there is a fee for late changes. A clear answer on each of these will tell you more than any price list would.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone care from an OB/GYN practice that also handles your gynecologic or pregnancy care, and you can get to Shelton, New Haven or Guilford for in-person visits. It is a poor fit if you need a price before you book, since none is published.
