What is The Institute for Personalized Medicine?
The Institute for Personalized Medicine is a practice at 1 Oglethorpe Professional Boulevard, Suite 201, in Savannah, Georgia 31406. The phone number is (912) 999-6444. Dr. Mary Kay Ross, MD opened it in 2008 as LiveWellMD, and it now uses its current name. It describes itself as a functional medicine practice and offers three services: Functional Medicine, Brain Health and Hormone Replacement Therapy. The prescriber named on the practice is Dr. Mary Kay Ross, MD.
Hormone therapy is the service with the most detail on the site. It is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy using compounded hormones, after a consultation and blood testing. The practice arranges a consultation with one of its hormone doctors to discuss hormonal imbalance symptoms, review blood tests and discuss treatment options. The individualized program may include progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormones, melatonin, DHEA and adrenal hormones, based on age and medical status. Brain Health follows the Bredesen Protocol, which Dr. Mary Kay Ross, MD practices. It offers telehealth and messaging with the provider. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 9AM to 5PM, with Friday by appointment only.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for hormone therapy, consultation fees or membership terms, so you will need to call for them. It is cash pay only, and no insurance is required. It does not say whether hormone medication is included in any price. Its articles include one on direct functional primary care membership plans, but no membership cost or cancellation terms are stated.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask what the consultation, the first full visit, lab work and each follow-up cost, and whether the hormone medication is part of any of those prices. Ask who will prescribe. Dr. Mary Kay Ross, MD is the named prescriber, but consultations are with one of the practice's hormone doctors, so ask who you will see and what their credentials are. Ask whether each hormone is compounded or a brand-name product. The practice says: "You can choose a compounding pharmacy, or we can give recommendations." So ask which pharmacy fills your prescription and whether it is one the practice has audited. Ask how often testing is repeated and what it costs. Ask how you cancel a membership, including any notice period.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a hormone-focused practice that you pay for directly, you are comfortable with compounded medication, and you can get a full written price for the consultation, labs and medication before your first visit. It is less of a fit if you need insurance billing or a published price list before you call.
