About The Modern Woman Health and Wellness Center

What is The Modern Woman Health and Wellness Center?

The Modern Woman Health and Wellness Center is a women's health practice at 504 Wolcott Road in Wolcott, Connecticut. Its listed services are gynecological care, primary care, therapy, medication management and supplements. Its gynecological services include annual exams, contraception, treatment of infections and sexually transmitted diseases, hormone replacement therapy, perimenopause and menopause care, and prenatal and postnatal obstetrical care. It also lists genealogy testing and infertility referrals.

Dr. Shivanna and Christina Bonnet, MSN, are the two people named as prescribers. Christina Bonnet's byline on a menopause article lists MSN, CNM/WHNP-BC, RN and CLC. The clinic describes its hormone work this way. In its own words: "We are experienced in HRT and other treatments to help with menopause management."

Every client is assigned a LifePath Expert, which the clinic describes as a licensed therapist. Google lists the practice as a women's health clinic, rated 5 across 517 reviews. The office is open Monday through Friday, closed on weekends, and can be reached at 203.441.6676.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for visits, consultations or medication. It does not say whether a monthly fee would include medication, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance. Its only published fees are for missed appointments. A cancellation with less than 24 hours' notice carries a $50 fee, and a missed appointment with no notice carries a $65 fee.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which clinician will write each prescription and what license that person holds. Ask whether the hormone medication is brand-name or compounded, and what it costs each month, including whether the monthly fee covers the medication. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed separately. Ask whether telehealth is available for follow-up, since the clinic does not say. Ask whether insurance covers the office visit, even if the medication is paid out of pocket. Ask how long the practice has been open, because it does not say that either. Finally, ask how the cancellation fee applies, since the $50 charge starts inside 24 hours.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want menopause, hormone or gynecological care in Wolcott and would like primary care and therapy in the same office. It is not the right match if you are looking for weight loss medication, testosterone or peptide care, since none of those is a listed service.
