About Manatee Gynecology

What is Manatee Gynecology?

Manatee Gynecology is a women's health practice at 2310 60th Street Court West in West Bradenton, Florida 34209, and its main work is gynecology. In its own words: "We’ve dedicated ourselves to focus only on the medical and surgical care of the female reproductive system." Marion M. Pandiscio, FACOG, MD, and Kinnari P. Desai, FACOG, MD, MPH, are both named to the Castle Connolly Top Doctors list, according to the clinic. Lee Biggs, DO, FACOG, MPH, is also listed as a prescriber. Sammie Billman, APRN, DNP, FNP-C, and Kaleigh Braden, APRN, DNP, FNP-BC, are nurse practitioners on the team. Joyce Kepto, Felicia Montanez and Kylie Ameres are also listed as prescribers.

The clinic lists women's health management, specialized urogynecology, hormone replacement therapy, imaging, advanced surgical services and aesthetics. Its imaging includes 3D mammography, ultrasound and bone density testing. The service list also names Weight Loss and Menopause, but the clinic describes no weight loss program or medication beyond that name. Aesthetics are offered at Well Within Skin & Laser Center, a separately named spa. The clinic does not describe its hormone replacement options or medications, though its vaginal dryness treatments include hormonal creams, inserts, rings and suppositories. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm, with urgent after-hours calls handled through the main number.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not say whether any monthly fee would include medication. The clinic's menu includes a Medicare Patients page, so ask what that covers before you assume anything about your own coverage. Ask for the cost of the first visit, the cost of a hormone prescription, and what lab work and follow-up visits add to the total.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes hormone prescriptions, since no one is named for that role, and whether that person is one of the physicians or one of the other listed prescribers. Ask which hormone options are available and whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether the medication is billed separately from visits. If you are interested in the Weight Loss service, ask what it includes, who prescribes any medication for it, and whether it is billed as a separate program. Ask whether telehealth visits are offered, since the clinic does not say. Ask whether services at the aesthetics spa are billed separately from gynecology visits. Finally, ask how to cancel or change a plan, and what happens to your records if you leave.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a gynecology practice in Bradenton for annual exams, bladder or pelvic concerns, imaging, or menopause-related gynecologic care, and you want the full price before you commit. If your main goal is a medication-based weight loss or hormone program with posted prices, get the answers above in writing before you book.
