About The Miley Clinic

What is The Miley Clinic?

The Miley Clinic is a hormone practice at 3333 Clark Road, Suite 100, in Sarasota, Florida. The physician it names is Dr. Stephen Miley, M.D. Its approach is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, called BHRT.

Most of what the clinic offers is hormone care: hormone pellet therapy, female hormone replacement therapy, male testosterone replacement therapy and thyroid replacement therapy. It also lists shockwave therapy and stem cell therapy, though it gives those no detail beyond the name. For pellets, testosterone and estradiol are named. The pellets are made by a compounding pharmacy and release their hormones over several months. The office is open Monday through Thursday, 9AM to 5PM, and closed Friday through Sunday. Google shows the clinic with a rating of 5 from 14 reviews, under the category Doctor. Its listed service area includes Bradenton, Venice, North Port, Englewood, Gulfport and Saint Petersburg.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not state whether a price includes the medication, whether it accepts insurance, or whether it offers financing. It also does not state its cancellation terms. On insurance for pellets, the answer is direct. In its own words: "Pellet therapy is often considered investigational or out of network, and therefore, patients may have to pay out of pocket." Blood work may be covered, depending on the plan.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription and who reviews your lab results, since the clinic names one prescriber, Dr. Miley. Ask whether the pellets are compounded. Compounded hormone pellets are not FDA-approved, according to the clinic's FAQ, which advises patients to ask about the specific product, so ask for the product name and the pharmacy that makes it. Ask whether one fee covers the pellets, the insertion, follow-up visits and blood work, and what each costs when billed separately. Ask how often a pellet has to be replaced and what that visit costs. Ask whether any visits can be done by telehealth, since that is not stated. Finally, ask how you cancel or stop treatment, and whether you can take your lab results and records with you if you leave.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone care in Sarasota from a physician, expect to pay cash for pellets or other hormone visits, and are ready to ask how the product is made before you commit. It is a weaker match if you are looking for weight loss medication or peptide programs, since the clinic does not name either service.
